...hard to say how many families cling to the belief that vaccines cause autism, but they are likely a minority. Dr. Paul Offit, chief of the infectious-diseases division at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and author of Autism's False Prophets: Bad Science, Risky Medicine, and the Search for a Cure, says he has received hundreds of grateful letters from parents of autistic children thanking him for debunking the autism-vaccine connection.
