Mmr?

My son is autistic.
He has had the MMR.
Believe me, I have done my research: there is not one shred of substantiated, peer reviewed research that supports any kind of link between getting the MMR and being autistic.
My intention is to have my younger child vaccinated - however, due to a couple of other (unrelated) issues, he will not have the jab until he is close to two.

I strongly support vaccination - I believe that it is my responsibility, as an educated, thinking, socially responsible parent to protect not only my child, but other people's children from diseases that can be fatal.
 
The dude who did the MMR study that alleged the connection between the vac and autism recently renegged on it as was proven falsified. Wasn`t this in the news just a while ago?
Basically, it`s all baloney. There`s a reason that Measles, Mumps and Rubella haven`t been seen around town lately;)
 
Thank you for all of your replies and for sharing your experiences, especially to HappyV. As you've all said the research has been proven to be 'baloney' and the doctor has been struck off and because of this it is in the news again. As I've said I wouldn't not consider having the vaccine as without it the risks are too great for me to even contemplate. It is just the niggle and the fact that there are still some people who do claim that there is a link.

Thanks again, for all of your thoughts on this.
 
Didn't she also say that giving him organic food and a gluten free diet cured him - can't have it both ways, I reckon, it was either his diet or his immunisations (or most likely neither but for the purposes of her argument...) Also, her saying that kind of implies that the parents of autistic children don't feed their children the right food - very annoying I would imagine.

Just my opinion :-)
