DESCRIPTION: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been an active proponent for the safety of the MMR vaccine and has conducted studies to examine the hypothesis that vaccines have a part in the cause of autism in children. While many organizations see this group as supporting the establishment view that there is no connection between the MMR vaccine and autism, they have produced a useful website that includes many links for people examining this potential connection.  This page includes many links to research papers, statistics, and other sources that examine the connection between the two.
