When reports, now discredited, linked the MMR vaccination to autism there was a reduction in the rate of children getting the jab in the UK as parents, responding to the media hysteria, refused the combined injection. This has led to a subsequent increase in measles and mumps infection rates.
An American study now reports that increased rates of autism may actually be related to television viewing.
Somehow I suspect that the reaction won't be as extreme and that the study's findings may not be announced on Faux News.
Personally I don't know about autism but I'm sure that watching TV can make you stupid.
