Maybe now the parents of my peds patients will stop this nonsense and start vaccinating their kids again! I had a kid in clinic last year with rubella! (The mom was afraid of autism, so she refused MMRs.)
The original article linking vaccines and autism in the Lancet has been rescinded by all but one of the authors; all admit that their methods were faulty. The current theory is that since children receive vaccines around the age that autism tends to develop, and they also see their pediatrician then, they are more likely to be diagnosed at that time.
