Vaccine, Autism? Is there any connection?

Autism is a complex developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life and affects a person’s ability to communicate and interact with others according to the Autism Society. One out of 110 U.S born babies has autism. There is a current issue that link vaccination to autism. Posted on Parenting.com, the article questions and asks parents to rethink about vaccinating their children. However, other researches prove that there is no relation between autism and vaccine. It has grown up until it has now become a controversial issue. Should parents vaccine their children and protect them from diseases or they shouldn’t.
This issue has to do with science because autism is a disease that is related to the nervous system; the nervous system is part of the body that is studied by Biology. Therefore this article discusses about science. Further, vaccines are mainly produced in laboratories that involve Biology, chemistry and physics.
The Autism Society estimates that the lifetime cost of caring for a child with autism ranges from $3.5 million to $5 million, and that the United States is facing almost $90 billion annually in costs for autism. It further supports that there are 1.5 million Americans living under the control of autism. Since many lives are affected by this disease, it is incumbent on me to know about this disease and try to learn about things that lead to autism.
