Vaccine
Adverse Events:
Separating Myth from Reality
"...no substantial evidence links measles-mumps-rubella vaccine to
autism, or hepatits B vaccine to multiple sclerosis."

Family Physician |
 MMR
and Autism in Japan: negative results (2007)
No difference in incidence of autism
between those who
had received MMR and those who didn't.
No
Evidence of Measles Virus in Autistic Children (2006)
"...no evidence of measles virus
persistence in the peripheral
blood mononuclear cells of children with autism ..."
Immunizations
and autism: a review of the literature (2006)
A systematic review of the scientific literature
finds no
evidence of a thimerosal connection or of the value
of chelation therapy.
Vaccines
and the changing epidemiology of autism.
No evidence MMR plays any role in the aetiology of autism
Thimerosal
exposure in infants and developmental disorders
British study:
". . . no evidence that thimerosal
exposure via DTP/DT vaccines causes
neurodevelopmental disorders."
Thimerosol-containing
vaccines and autistic spectrum disorder
Colorado study: "Studies do not
demonstrate a
link between thimerosal-containing vaccines and
ASD, and the pharmacokinetics of ethylmercury
make such an association less likely.
Vaccination
and Allergy
Israeli study: "There is no evidence that
vaccines
such as Bacille Calmette-Guerin; pertussis;
influenza; measles, mumps, and rubella; or
smallpox have an effect on the risk of the
development of atopy later in life."
Does
immunization protect against atopic disease?
". . . early
vaccines could promote Th1
proliferation in response to the infectious agent
contained in it, which inhibits the
enhancement of atopic manifestations."
US
Immunization rates hit all time high
In a stunning blow to the mis-leading efforts of
anti-vaccinationists US immunization rates have
hit an all time high of 81%.
Timing of routine
immunisations and subsequent hay fever risk
New study in the BMJ concludes: "Immunisation
against DTP or MMR does not increase the risk
of hay fever."
Editorial Commentary on the
above study further
concludes:
"Parents of children about to be vaccinated
should be
reassured that common childhood vaccines are unlikely
to promote atopic disease."
Autism continues to
rise in Japan despite no MMR
Parents need have no more fears about the triple vaccine
against measles, mumps and rubella
MMR
vaccination and autism : what is the evidence for a causal association?
...using techniques from
molecular biology to
population-based epidemiology, and with a vast
number of independent researchers involved, none of
which has been able to corroborate the hypothesis.
New Vaccine Prevents
Cervical Cancer
A vaccine against the virus that causes cervical cancer
and genital warts cut long-lasting infection by 90%
Thimerosol does not
cause developmental disorders
Two recent studies published in Pediatrics
report
thirmerosol in vaccines does not cause
developmental
disorders.

from fiction in the etiology and treatment of autism:
A scientific review of the evidence.
Impact
of Anti-Vaccine Movements on Pertussis Control: the untold story
"Cases among children deprived of
vaccine may have
exceeded hundreds of thousands, and
disease-related
clinical complications (eg, pneumonia,
encephalopathy,
and seizures) may have numbered tens of
thousands."
What has caused the increase
in Asthma?
The latest evidence suggests "Regular
attendance at
chlorinated pools by young children is associated
with
an exposure dependent increase in lung epithelium
permeability and increase in the risk of developing
asthma . . ."
Thimerosol in vaccines
"The hypothesis that thimoersol exposure
through
the recommended childhood immunization has caused
neurodevelopmental disorders is not supported by
clinical or experimental evidence."
- MMR vaccine and Autism
". . . the evidence favors rejection of a
causal
relationship at the populatioin level between MMR
vaccine and autistic spectrum disorders (ASD)."
