1a) 
Vaccine-autism connection debunked again
1b)

1c) 
Current hypothesis-
Many expectant parents are wary of all the recommended vaccines their newborns are supposed to get in the first hours, days and even the first couple of years, believing that too many vaccines too soon may increase their child's risk for autism.

Expectant parents believe that if they vaccinate their children then their children stand at a greater risk for autism
1d)
