What about the correlation between autism and increase in
vaccinations?

There is no correlation between autism and increase in vaccinations. You
might just as well claim that there is a correlation between increased rate
of ice-cream sales and deaths by drowning in the Scandinavian countries.

This is false logic.

There is an increase in autism.
There is an increase in vaccination.
Therefore a correlation.

So is this false:

there is an increase in automobiles
there is an increase in autism
therefore a correlation

Oh, I see where you're going wrong bob. You don't understand the meaning of the word "correlation".

One meaning of correlation is that if you know one value something, you
can use that value to predict the value of something else. So, if you
know the number of cars sold in one year, you can predict the number of
cases of autism or vice versa. In this case, the correlation has a
common cause - both the sales of cars and the number of cases of autism
is going up over time. One is not causing the other.

You should look it up for yourself ...I looked it up once but you didn't seem to pay attention.
Maybe you'll appreciate it more if you do the work yourself.

Once a correlation, meaning a possible connection, established, it is then up to science to do the testing to see if it is true.
However, the testing isn't being done.

Again, you're wrong about the testing not being done.

Here is an article in the Wall Street Journal about how scientists are
looking for the cause of autism.

Here are some studies being done to examine autism:

Here is one look at MMR combined vaccine vs. measles vaccine as a cause
of autism.

Vaccine dangers and vested interests

"A retired vaccine researcher goes public on what the pharmaceutical industry and the health authorities don't want us to know: that
vaccines are unsafe, untested and one of the greatest frauds of our time."

Who is the retired vaccine researcher?

smartarse crap snipped --

You are a true moron bob, and I doubt there is any hope for you because you are too arrogant to admit the error of your ways.
You rant and rail against others using ad hominem attacks ie attacking the person, yet you resort to this tactic over and over.
You are a true ****wit.

Pot, meet kettle.
