Can you tell me why vaccines cause autism?
<|assistant|>
No scientific evidence suggests that vaccines cause autism. Vaccines are designed to help the body build immunity to specific illnesses, and are typically administered to children in the form of a shot or as a liquid to be swallowed. Vaccinations help protect infants and children from life-threatening illness, and most medical professionals believe that the risks associated with vaccinations greatly outweigh the minimal risks of developing a reaction from the shot or liquid. Despite the scientific evidence showing no connection between vaccines and autism, some parents continue to believe that vaccinations are responsible for triggering autism in their children.
