	NIP: Vacsafe/Concerns/Autism/FAQs-Autism and MMR
		Information on 96 children (95 immunized with MMR) who were born between 1992 and 1995 and were diagnosed with pervasive developmental disorder were compared with data from 2 groups of autistic patients (one group of 98 born before MMR was ever used and one group of 68 who were likely to have received MMR vaccine).
		In 9 of the cases, the child's parents or pediatrician speculated that the MMR vaccine had contributed to the behavioral problems of the children in the study.
		It is unlikely, therefore, that bowel disease or the MMR vaccine triggered the autism.

	Link between MMR and autism controversy, measles, mumps, rubella vaccine - 12/04
		UPDATE - a new statistical analysis of the risk factors associated with MMR and the diseases it seeks to prevent was published in the Sciencebase Science Blog by David Bradley on September 7, 2007 under the title MMR and Statistical Lies.
		MMR has been at the centre of an ongoing controversy since 1998, beset by claims that it causes autism and bowel disease in children who receive it.
		Even if the scaremongers are correct and the MMR vaccine has a risk associated with it, it is accepted (even by Dr Wakefield and his allies) that this risk would apply only to a very small percentage of the population.

	MMR Vaccine And Subsequent Cases Of Autism Suspected

		His research suggests that the MMR vaccine can cause an abnormal immune reaction which, in susceptible children, causes the child's immune system to damage the child's gut, allowing it to absorb chemicals that may attack the brain.
