Who said there was a link between mmr and autism?

What evidence is there that MMR is unlikely to cause autism?

It's not that MMR is unlikely to cause autism, it cannot cause autism full-stop. Autism is a neurological difference so it occurs within the second trimester of pregnancy when the brain is being formed, no vaccination can cause autism. Billions have been wasted on thousands of research projects to prove that there is absolutely no link between autism and vaccinations.

What is the MMR scare?

When a man Dr John Wakefield made up false evidence that there was a link between the MMR vaccine and autism. Later, the evidence was found to be proved wrong and it has been definitely certified that there is nothing wrong with the MMR vaccine and is safe to use.

Does the mmr vaccine cause autism?

MMR vaccines, as well as other vaccines, do not cause autism. Extensive research has been done into the relationship between autism and vaccines and none has been found. The doctor who originally reported a correlation has since retracted his statements, admitted his results were faked, and lost his medical license.

Is there a relationship between serotonin and autism?

Yes. The relationship involves conversion of serotonin into bufotenin, a psychedelic drug that is similar to LSD and magic mushrooms. An autistic person has been tripping ever since the moment he/she was born.

What research has been done on the connection between mumps vaccine and autism?

The current status of the MMR/Autism link is disputed. New beliefs are appearing that bufotenin may be responsible for autism. At the moment, there is little evidence to show that MMR may be linked with autism.More recently, several clinical studies have show no statistical link between any vaccine and the incidence of autism. The MMR does not cause, nor is a contributing factor to, autism.In addition, the bufotenin theory is at this point, just a theory. It is based on the higher-than-normal levels of bufotenin detected in some autistic people, but this has not been thoroughly studied, nor has it been shown this is prevalent in the general autistic population. As of now, we really don't know much about autism, certainly nothing definitive about causes or the mechanisms by which it works.

Does the mmr jab cause autism?

Most definitively NO. The MMR vaccine (and, all other vaccines) have absolutely NOTHING TO DO WITH AUTISM. There have been repeated clinical studies, and absolutely no tie between the MMR vaccine and any incidence of autism has been discovered. The scare was caused by bad science and desperate parents, looking for something to blame, and a news media looking for the latest sensational cause. There never was any credible reason to assume there was a tie between MMR and autism, let alone scientific evidence.

Are infant vaccinations linked to autism?

No, there is no link between vaccinations and autism. This idea first came about in 1998 when a study was published by Andrew Wakefield that said there was a link between MMR and autism - this study was shown to be completely fraudulent, however many people today continue to believe this due to people pushing pseudoscience to further their own causes, such as to spread fear about vaccinations or autism, or to sell expensive autism treatments to parents, or simply out of ignorance. Autism is a neurological difference, as the brain is formed within the womb common sense dictates that vaccines cannot cause autism - a vaccine cannot change the brain, nor can it go back in time to change a babies development within the womb.

Does mmr cause autism?

No, there is actually strong evidence against this idea. The MMR vaccine is not linked to autism.Much of the original controversy was caused by a paper published by Andrew Wakefield (t the time he was a physician) in The Lancet - the prestigious British medical journal. After the publication of Wakefield's paper, other researchers were unable to reproduce Wakefield's findings or confirm his hypothesis of an association between the MMR vaccine and autism, or autism and gastrointestinal disease. After a British Journalist uncovered and published undisclosed financial conflict of interest information (Wakefield was getting money from people suing the vaccine company claiming the vaccine caused autism in their children), the British Governing Medical Council (GMC) - the governing body for physicians in Britain - opened an investigation against Wakefield and two former colleagues. Most of his co-authors withdrew their support for the study's interpretationsOn 28 January 2010, a five-member statutory tribunal of the GMC found three dozen charges proved, including four counts of dishonesty and 12 counts involving the abuse of developmentally challenged children. The panel ruled that Wakefield had "failed in his duties as a responsible consultant", acted both against the interests of his patients, and "dishonestly and irresponsibly" in his published research.Wakefield's study that was used to link MMR to autism was retracted by The Lancet and was subsequently labeled an "elaborate fraud" in an investigation published by the British medical journal BMJ. The investigation concluded the study's author, Dr. Andrew Wakefield, misrepresented or altered the medical histories of all 12 of the patients whose cases formed the basis of the 1998 study -- and that there was "no doubt" Wakefield was responsible.Three months following The Lancet's retraction, Wakefield was struck off the UK medical register, with a statement identifying deliberate falsification in the research published in The Lancet and was barred from practicing medicine in the UK.Wakefield's utter failure to conduct valid research does not disprove any possible links between vaccines and autism, but it is pretty obvious his "study" suggesting a possible link between the MMR vaccine and autism was worthless.

What explanation for autism is no longer consider valid and lacks research support?

The idea that Autism is caused by vaccinations such as MMR vaccine is no longer considered valid, in fact it was never considered valid as the claim was found to be fraudulent fairly early on and Autism is a neurological difference so develops when the brain develops - vaccines cannot time-travel to change how a persons brain is formed in the womb. However many people continued to believe this idea and pushed propaganda supporting this claim in order to undermine vaccination programs and make money from people's fears about a possible link - in the process spreading hate speech about Autistic people to imply Autism is worse than it is. Millions, if not billions, have been spent on researching any possible link between Autism and vaccinations; there is no link.

What possible danger do some connect to the MMR vaccine?

The combined vaccine for measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) was claimed to cause autism or bowel disorders in some children.

What are the risks of getting mmr?

Common risks associated with vaccines such as swelling, fever and irritation. But NOT AUTISM.

What vaccine was at once time thought to increase the risk of a child developing autism?

The MMR vaccine.
