A member asked:
Does the mmr vaccine cause autism. is it ok to have other vaccinations at the same time. i believe children are given 2 others with the mmr at 12 mths?

no: The wakefield study linking the vaccine and autism has been shown to be false. Research shows that the rate of autism in unvaccinated children is the same as those who receive immunizations. The low rates of illness since we started with shots have made some parents think these conditions aren't serious but these illness can cause disability and death.Reason.

No, it does not.: A few years ago it was thought that some vaccinations may have lead to autism. We now know that this research was faked and there is in fact no connection between autism and vaccinations. There are many reported cased world wide of children developing autism who have never received any vaccinations. It is ok to have these vaccinations at the same time.
