A.

Introduction
1. Andrew Wakefield lost his medical license because he wrote
an article about vaccines causing autism.
2. That article is how it all started in 1997, he was a British
surgeon. He said that the MMR vaccine was causing autism
in children. After it was proved wrong and the article was
discredited. This started the talk about it all.
3. Vaccines do not cause autism, we know this because there
are many articles that have been proven wrong and many
scientists and doctors have researched it.
B. Might have bribed Wakefield.
1. Andrew Wakefield got paid over half a million dollars for
writing the article.
2. There were layers that were trying to find links between
autism and vaccines.
C. All the studies proving it wrong.
1. Thimerosal was in some vaccines they did tests with kids
that had that in their vaccines and kids that didn’t.
2. Autism cases started rising even after they took thimerosal
out of it.
D. Thimerosal had a possible link
1. Some people thought thimerosal was what was causing it
because some researchers found a possible link to autism.
2. They ran a lot of tests after and it wasn’t connected and the
autism cases still happened after they took it out.
E.Conclusion
1. Vaccines do not cause autism because there is so much
research that proves that they don’t. When they add new
things to the vaccines I think they should run studies again.
