Does MMR causes autism?

MMR vaccine cause autism?

The response based on current research notis. The association between MMR vaccine and Autism can be traced to the late 1980s, when it was noticed that there was an increase in the number of autism being diagnosed. Rates from that season were nearly double the previous years and individuals began to look at the possible causes of autism. Among the first link between MMR vaccinations and autism is the result of an article made in the United Kingdom in 1998. In it he suggested that the vaccine has introduced a series of events that lead to changes in the brain causing autism (inflammation of the colon, release of proteins). In February 2010, that study was cancelled after research showed that medical research was paid for lawyers planning to sue vaccine makers, and that he was applying for a vaccine alternative. The doctor was found to be falsified results with intentions to take advantage of it. In 2010, the doctor was stripped of his right to practice medicine.

So where does that leave us today? At the moment there is a study done in 2002 suggesting vaccines MMR may contribute to autism. However, it is incorrect, methodology and numerous follow-up studies in contradiction with the results. Since the initial research of 1998, there have been several studies (12) with a couple done by the CDC that show no link between vaccines and autism. It is likely that the increase in the diagnosis of autism since the 1990s was caused by the change in criteria necessary for diagnosis of autism and a greater awareness of the disease.

Explore the possible link between autism and MMR vaccine research is ongoing. To date, no scientific link has been established. Numerous studies of large and well designed not to support an association between MMR and autism.

With clear evidence of an association between MMR and autism and numerous studies supporting the lack of association between the vaccine and autism, it is still recommended for children get their MMR vaccine. The use of vaccines against childhood led to a significant reduction of childhood diseases that had serious consequences. Vaccines in decline because of a theoretical risk, places the child at risk of actual infection with actual consequences. Note, as a result of the 1998 study, MMR vaccination decreased from 90% to 80%. In the past five years, the rate of measles in the United Kingdom rose to endemic levels. Fortunately, vaccination rates in the United States have not been significantly changed, although there have been local outbreaks.
