Autism and MMR Vaccine or Mercury Based Preservative in Vaccines No Link Says US Health Panel

A US Health Panel has announced that after extensive studies, there is absolutely no link between Autism and the MMR vaccine, measles vaccine, mumps vaccine, rubella vaccine or any mercury-based preservatives used in childhood vaccines.

The Panel, which comes from the Institute of Medicine, says that scientists and parents need to look elsewhere when trying to find out why there has been a rise in reported autism cases in the USA.

A leading expert, Dr. Marie McCormick, Harvard School of Public Health, said "The weight of that evidence is pretty substantial," when talking about the overwhelming evidence that indicates there is no connection.

Autism is often diagnosed around the same child as children have their MMR vaccine. Many parents think/thought that the vaccines is/was the cause of their child's autism.

In the UK, many parents refused to let their children be vaccinated with the MMR vaccine. One of the consequences of this has been a huge increase in cases of measles, mumps and rubella in the UK - but no fall in the number of young kids being diagnosed with autistic spectrum disorders.

The Panel, which includes health professionals and statisticians, has studied five large epidemiological studies that were carried out in the USA, UK, Sweden and Denmark. In all the studies the evidence was conclusive that children who were given thimerosal containing vaccines were at no greater risk of developing autism than children who were given thimerosal free vaccines.

They looked at evidence which might indicate how thimerosal containing vaccines could cause autism - they found nothing in all the studies. They also met many parents who believe their children became autistic as a result of being given the vaccine.

Some groups still do not accept these latest findings, saying that the Panel was biased. The panel responded by saying they were not paid by any organization or company or government to carry out this study. It will be difficult to find a more impartial Panel that could carry out such a large study, say most health experts.

I have a personal interest in this subject as my eldest son (17) has Asperger's Syndrome (within the spectrum of Autism). I have spend a great part of my life researching on autism with two things in mind - what causes it and what can be done to make the person's life better. My son had the MMR jab. When the scare came out my wife and I went through hell. I eventually went through all my son's medical records and found that we had noticed many things about him before the vaccine which indicated there was something different about him. We could not link his vaccination to any change in behaviour, it was there already. However, I did at the time feel like venting my anger and guilt at something, and for a while felt like blaming the vaccine makers.

What convinced me that there was no connection was the following:

Soon after the scare (I live in the UK) many parents in England did not let their kids be vaccinated for MMR. The number of kids being vaccinated dropped dramatically for many years. As the years passed the cases of measles, mumps and rubella in young kids rose dramatically - but the number of young kids being diagnosed with autism did not fall. If the culprit had been the vaccine or mercury in the vaccines, we would have seen a fall in cases of autism as millions of kids were not vaccinated over a seven-year period - but we did not, the rise continued.

I think there are so many possible reasons for the rise in autism that I have given up trying to pin point one. Here are just some factors:

-- Diagnosis is better today. Asperger's Syndrome was often misdiagnosed as Schizophrenia in the past.

-- The toddler's brain grows more quickly than other toddlers, this overloads the child with data, so everything starts to shut down. There are studies which have strong evidence that this is so.

-- More premature babies are surviving today

-- Infant mortality is generally lower (you need to think about this one). Babies are surviving serious diseases, fevers which would have killed them many years ago…etc.

-- Allergic reactions to food additives which did not exist before and some foods.

-- Pollutants. I am not sure about this one. Statistics do not indicate that city and rural percentages are any different. London had worse pollution in the fifties than it has today, but reported cases of autism is higher now.

-- More pregnancies can be taken to full term than before because of more advanced medical practice.

My list is enormous. The trouble with latching on to any of these is that you could spend years going off on a tangent, wasting time and money, on something that is completely irrelevant.

What I find frustrating, is that for every group who passionately believes the cause is one thing, there is another group who think the opposite. I have been to so many meetings like this. One can lose sight of the aim, which is to give that autistic child/teenager/adult the best chance at achieving his/her full potential. Where do I dedicate my time? To my son or the cause?
