23. So are both stories correct? Does vaccination also increase autism rates?

Vaccination reduces disease effectively.

Does vaccination also increase autism rates? Google scholar, the few I clicked on to read all said the same thing, there is no association between vaccinations and autism, nor between thimerosal and autism. First entire page seems to be debunking the whole concept.

Something else appears to be causing the autism rates to increase.
