Autism from flu shot?

Post Reply New Topic

I get a flu shot every year... I hope that doesn't put me at increased risk of developing autism.



Edit: people... this topic was intended as a joke only... please don't take it seriously... there is no danger (so far as we know) of developing Autism from flu shots. I was kidding. If you, like most everybody else, don't see the humor I intended in the remark, please don't worry about it.
