Rejected petition Officially survey unvaccinated children for incidence of autism.

This ought to convince one way or the other whether vaccines cause autism, statistically significantly speaking.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The UK Government and Parliament are not responsible for scientific surveys.

You might be interested to know that there have already been significant studies looking at vaccines and autism. You can read more here:

You could start a new petition asking for something that the UK Parliament and Government are responsible for. For example, you could start a new petition asking the UK Government and Parliament to fund a campaign to raise awareness of the safety of vaccines, if that's what you'd like to happen.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
