Can MMR vaccine cause autism?
The measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine and its ingredients,specifically thimerosal, have been blamed in the lay press for causing autism in children. This is a serious charge. I am glad the manufacturers and other scientists have been investigating this issue carefully. Three families have taken this a step further and filed for payments from the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Two days ago, the Vaccine Court Omnibus Autism Proceeding ruled against the parents of the three children. The three “special masters” cited the Institute of Medicine’s two analysis, other analysis and their own review of the scientific data available. I want to highlight that thimerosal has been removed from vaccines for several years and the rate of autism has been slowly increasing in children that did not receive any thimerosal.
