So once more I was Stumbling around the interwebz. I found yet another interesting article on the alleged link between the MMR vaccine and Autism. My daughters aunt won't let her two sons be vaccinated at all, due to the fear of Mercury in the shots and/or Autism. Now, I have allowed my daughter to get all of her shots, with some reservation but also understanding the incredible danger that is Mumps, Measles, and Rubella.
Well aparently the 1998 study that has caused this slight panic in the population has been debunked, or at least left unreproduced. 10 of the 13 authors have retracted thier statements supporting the study, and aparently the lead is facing charges for his part in a bribe scheme. Oh did I mention he was in the process a patent for a seperated version of the MMR vaccine?
Funny that the study suggested seperating the 3 components, isn't it?
