Answer 1

Answer:

One unfortunate result of the scientifically unsupported contention that vaccinations play a major role in the development of autism spectrum disorder is that in the first half of 2008, rates of measles cases in the United States doubled as compared to the rates observed between 2000 and 2007.

Explanation:

• Though the contention was not supported with scientific findings and was only based on general observation, the results of the contention clearly exhibited that the vaccination has failed as there was an increase in cases with measles contraction.
• Merely for the fact that the contention lacks scientific support, it was not given enough emphasis and means and methods other than what the contention suggested were implemented to address the problem.
