‘No scientific evidence’ MMR vaccine causes autism

Decision not to administer MMR vaccine, ‘not in the child’s best interest’.

The little ones may not like it, but children must be vaccinated against mumps, measles and rubella.

There was no scientific evidence that linked autism to the MMR vaccine and not administering the vaccine would not be in the child's best interest, the Health Department said today.

The Health Department was reacting to questions sparked by a judgement in an Italian court. The reports cast doubt on the safety of the MMR vaccine and whether it was true that the jab may cause autism.

The court's judgement, the superintendent for public health said, was based on a study published in Lancet medical journal in 1998.

"The study proved to be scientifically incorrect and fraudulent, so much so that the same journal withdrew it while the British Medical Council annulled the author's warrant," the Superintendent said.

The health department said several studies have been carried out and no scientific evidence was found which proved that the MMR vaccine caused autism.

Health authorities around the world and international organisations such as the World Health Organisation all recommend the administration of the vaccine.

The MMR jab is an immunization vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella. "All three diseases can lead to seirous, potentially fatal complications including permanent disabilities," the department said.

"The jab should be administered to all children, at 13 months, and between three and four years."

"No scientific evidence" Is this a play on words? I s there evidence that is not scientific, such as statistical. for example? Can the Health authorities come up with answers on why cases of autism have grown beyond control hand-in-hand with the increase in the number and variety of vaccines we pump into our children? First we had 3 in one. Then 5 in one, and now we have even 6 in one. This is an international business racket that do not give a damn for the welfare of our children.

Assuming there is a rise in autism (as opposed to a rise in diagnoses of autism), there are thousands of things that have changed in past decades that could be an effect. It is known that the MMR vaccine is not the cause, in part because in those places where the vaccine was stopped for several years (eg. Yokohama), the reported cases of autism continued to rise. In the meantime people seem to forget that these diseases, like measles and whooping cough, are not just a bit of fever. They are child killers and child maimers.

So how come the explosion of autism these last decades??? And how com these autistic children when tested are found to have high level of mercury in their blood, a toxin that impairs the brain function? Mercury was used and still used under another name (the change came after it was established that harm was being done so instead of stating that the vaccine contains mercury as a preservative it now contains Thimerosal......a rose by any other name as they say). http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/03/22/u-s-government-concedes-that-mercury-causes-autism.aspx
