There is only antedotal evidence linking MMR to autism. That is, the only evidence comes from parents saying that their child developed autism soon after the MMR vaccine.

In addition, the ingredient (thimerosol, or mercury)in the MMR vaccine that is being blamed for causing autism has been removed since early 2000.

Every medical and scientific study has demonstrated no link - a study that came out in Jan - looked at the autism diagnosis rates in CA. The time period of the study encompassed prior, during and after the removal of thimerosol. There was no dip in autism rates in the years after the ingredient was removed as one would expect if this ingredient was causing autism (i.e. if you remove the agent, there should have been less kids newly dx with autism)

A second study (done in Europe and out in Feb), looked at how long mercury stays in the bloodstream - which turned out to be just a couple days after the vaccination. Mercury injested from fish however stayed in the blood for weeks to months afterwards. So again, if mercury was the cause of autism, why haven't we seen a coorelation between increased autism in primarily fish consuming countries (scand, and japan)?

You are going to have to make the decision for yourself on what you want to do. I would recommend asking your pediatrician, and your other doctors and getting their advice. I would also recommend being very careful about some of the information on the internet- - a lot of websites have agendas and you need to be able to determine which ones have legit information.

The CDC has a great section on how to look at online websites (they are also a great source of unbiased info):

IS THE VACCINE INFO ON THE WEB ACCURATE?
A good health Web site will display who is responsible for the site. Also, there will be a way to contact the information provider or Webmaster.

Information should not be slanted in favor of a Web site's sponsor or source of funding. Health information should be accurate and unbiased.

Then, ask the following questions:
Do scientific experts review the medical information before it is posted on the Web site? What are their credentials?

Does the information display the date of last revision, and is it kept up to date?

What is the scientific evidence for claims made? The original source of facts and figures should be shown. For example, the Web site should provide citations of medical articles or other sources of information. You should be able to distinguish facts from opinions. Also, facts are more reliable if they come from a published scientific study on humans rather than from unpublished accounts or from reports of a single person or of animal studies.

Next, consider the purpose of the Web site. The purpose should be to provide accurate and unbiased information about that topic. If the purpose is to advertise about a health care product, be skeptical about the information provided.

Finally, discuss with your doctor or health professional the information that you find on the Web. Health information found on the Web should supplement rather than replace the information or advice given by your doctor.

The Federal Trade Commission, an agency of the U.S. federal government, encourages consumers to carefully consider information they find on the Web. The agency has compiled the following list of typical phrases used by some Web sites to deceive consumers:

The product is a quick cure-all for a wide range of medical problems.
The product is described as a 'scientific breakthrough,' 'miraculous cure,' 'exclusive product,' 'secret ingredient,' or 'ancient remedy.'
The product is claimed to have been suppressed by a conspiracy of the government, the medical profession, or research scientists.
Case histories are not documented.
The product is said to be available from a single source or for a limited time.
The description uses medical lingo to hide the fact it lacks good science.

Hi, I will speak from my opinion and what I have learned through extensive reading. I think that the vaccines are very dangerous and have been known many times to cause death in infants. The deaths are written off as a medical casualty. That is the only reason these poisons are still being given to our kids. My child was an outgoing baby and after the MMR shot she started being withdrawn and now has pervasive personality disorder.
In many Asian countries, the kids are not vaccinated until right before first grade. I think this is a good option if you cannot get your child into school without them. (I think schools should not tell parents what they must put into their kids.)
Please be careful, and don't let your doctors push this on you. It is your choice.

Email me because I would love to send you this book.. It's called the Vaccine Book. Not sure if you can get it out there, but it's written by Dr. Bob Sears. He's my pediatrician. I don't vaccinate and his book explains which vaccinations are the most important, why and what they are made out of, all the potential side effects of each one and what kinds of problems they have been linked too and why. A friend of mine had her son go into seizures after being given the DpT. I think certain statistics in the book are specific to the United States only, but he does mention where certain disease are prominent still (what countries) and what you need to look out for. Anyway he has a whole section on the MMR and 2 full pages on it's link with Autism. Make an informed decision before you do anything! Thats the best advice I was ever given.

This is my PERSONAL opinion...I think that children NEED vaccines. I am a microbiologist, and I know what these diseases can do to the body. The only one I don't agree with is the chicken pox vaccine. I think all children should have chicken pox; it makes their immune system stronger, and it isn't life-threatening.

What I don't believe in is giving children vaccines all at once. MMR, tetanus, chicken pox all in one day! I wouldn't think to do that to a child. And no one can tell me or ever change my mind about the things they could be doing to a child's body if injected all at once. Yes, there is no concrete proof on vaccines causing autism, but I don't think all of the stories I read could be pure coincidence. I haven't read of any problems with kids when spacing out the vaccines...and I am talking big spaces, not a few days between vaccines, I mean weeks to months.

So, you need to do what you think is best for your child, but you need to research. Don't make any rash decisions. Weigh the positives and the negatives.

My 23 month old just got hers 2 weeks ago and she is FINE. We've waited til now cause I was scared, too.
Go for it!

my 3 year old is autistic and was im sure before the shots.... i think that it appears soon after some parents have their shots done mostly by coincidence...my other two kids had the shots to and they are fine, i beleive the chance of that would be very small, also autism is not so bad anyway...my three year old is wonderful!
