This dumb cunt did 12 years of medical school just so she can say that she doesn't know what causes autism. Wow.... I'm impressed.

@brianmaui She's a doctor so I'd be careful calling her a 'dumbass'. She's more intelligent then you because she isn't grasping at the one 'cause' whose believers are the loudest. She's relying on medical and scientific research which has not been able to find any link between vaccines and autism. They've tried and they've failed. It is something else and the vaccine thing needs to die so focus and resources can be put toward finding the real cause.

Vaccinations cause autism. Its that simple. Wake up dumb ass!
