Some people have been diagnozed with cancer shortly after they began to eat a genitically modified food. Some people developed migrane headaches shortly after they started using a cell phone. The rumors travel and many people are concerned. Hoever, there are a number of children who are diagnozed with autism every year, Some of those had their diagnosis shortly after they had the recomended childhood vaccines. But it woud be impossible for out of 1,000 children who contracted autism in a given year to not have had their annual vaccines within 3 months from the time they had their shots, Actually about 250 of them would have that.

Epidemiologists can and have actually measures most of these things and either there is no causal relationship, or it is so slight as to not be serious enough to be a threat.
