I don't understand why autism being genetic disproves whatever the anti-vaccination camp says. Do they actually say that the only cause of autism is MMR vaccine? I wasn't aware of that.
I was under the impression (and I could be wrong) that the anti-vaccine individuals are keen to blame anything on vaccines, not just MMR.
On a side note, until we have cold-hard evidence that there is a direct link between vaccines and disease X, I am going to clump these individuals in the same group as "naturopaths", "homeopaths", "gem/magnet/chakra healing advocates", whatever. I know I exaggerate a little at this point with the names, but I really have no respect for willful unscientific beliefs. Even more so when they decide to inflict these beliefs on their innocent children.
