There are a lot of people, Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carey probably the most visable at this piont, who claim that after receiving vaccines their children developed autism and they point to a steady rise in autism. They claim that vaccines are acutally a conspiracy by big pharmacutical companys to make a profit off sick kids. All children need to get common childhood diseases, such as the measals, to build immunity. Critics say it is impossible to develope autism in the way described, vaccines companys make too slim of profits for the conspiracy to be viable, and it's unethical for children to have to suffer through diseases, many of which can be deadly. They also say that there is no evidence that vaccines cause autism, and the rise in diagnosed cases can be attributed to the broadening of the definition of "autism" not to an outbreak.
