THE doctor who sparked the scare over the safety of the MMR vaccine for children changed and misreported results in his research, creating the appearance of a possible link with autism, a Sunday Times investigation has found.

Unfortunately, 10 years from now, there will still be people blaming autism on vaccines.

Not a pleasant thought, but you may be right.

Why would he even do that?
it is well known that PMS Elle is evil.

You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

Of course the nutcases will go on blaming the "autism epidemic" on MMR and whatnot, but this still feels like a victory to me. ;D

I agree it wasn't the vaccines per se, BUT the fact that thimerisol was used for so long as a preservative in vaccines could be a factor.

Thimerosal does metabolize to ethyl mercury in the body, which can't actually be good for you.

I know that they say it's safe in the amounts they use, but they took it out of most childhood vaccines anyway.

It is still in some multi-dose influenza vaccines, like the ones used at flu shot clinics. 

For an adult like me, I figure that tiny amount of thimerosal once a year does not make that much diference, but for my daughter I have requested the thimerosal-free influenza vaccine when it has been available.  I would get her a flu shot even if it did contain thimerosal, because the chance of her becoming seriously ill from influenza is greater than the increased risk of the small amount of thimerosal in the vaccine, given her medical history.

It's probably not good for the kids, no, but I very much doubt it causes autism.
