A link has been found between the development of autism and vaccination

Recently, experts have proven that vaccination has a negative impact on the health and development of children. A group of scientists and neurophysiologists conducted a joint study, which showed that a regular vaccination can provoke the development of such a serious disease as autism, as well as cause various pathologies in the functioning of the brain.
Autism is a disorder of brain development that results in a pronounced and comprehensive deficit of interaction and communication, in addition, the patient's range of interests narrows and the repetition of the same actions is observed (swaying the body, waving arms, etc.). In other words, this disease is described as an escape from reality, the patient lives in his inner world, he is concerned only with personal difficulties, he does not interact with loved ones, including emotional closeness.
Previously, it was believed that the cause of autism in children is genetic disorders that affect development during the period of intrauterine development. It has also been proven that the risk of autism increases with increased accumulation of mercury and other heavy metal salts in the body.
During the research, specialists found out that any vaccine contains all these harmful substances and they can give a “push” to the development of autism and other deviations, especially if there are prerequisites for this.
Experts conducted an analysis and found that autism is increasingly being diagnosed in children, which is associated with vaccination. In this regard, experts urge parents to take a more responsible approach to the decision on the need to vaccinate their child. Scientists recommend conducting a full examination of the child's health, and only then agreeing to vaccination.
It is worth adding that despite the fact that modern medicine is at a high level of development, the causes of autism remain unclear. According to recent studies, autism, as was believed, is not always a congenital disease and cases of this pathology have been recorded even in children with so-called "pure genetics".
In another research group, scientists have put forward another version of the development of autism. Specialists suggest that the disease can be provoked by a lack of attention and communication in the child, especially with the mother.
In the late 1990s, British scientist Andrew Wakefield and his team proved a link between the combined measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, which all children are required to receive, and the development of autism. But the journal retracted the article because of information about errors in the study. But scientists still believe that vaccination can pose a certain risk to children's health.
Medical workers note that vaccination can become a provoking factor, especially if the child's body contains a large amount of mercury salts. In addition, medicine knows of a large number of cases when a child developed serious diseases after vaccination, however, there is no official confirmation of this.
