Horizon - Does The MMR Jab Cause Autism? 1/4

2005

No public health issue of recent years has attracted such heated debate as the question of whether the MMR vaccine can cause autism. The MMR jab combines three childhood vaccines, against measles, mumps and rubella, into one injection, which is first given to children at around 12-18 months. It has virtually eradicated these diseases from the UK, and throughout the world it has saved hundreds of lives.

Recent years, however, have seen the rates of MMR vaccination decline. In some areas of the UK, only 60% of children are receiving MMR. This decline has already let to a rise in the number of measles infections, and there are fears of an epidemic outbreak.

The reason for all the concern over MMR is the suggestion that the vaccine might in fact be damaging some of the children it was supposed to protect.

Autism can happen in any person, it also does not show signs of developing until 1 or 2 years old! an id rather have my child get the MMR shot rather than die of those diseases, i had the MMR shot when i was a baby and i am perfectly fine!

"PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES ARE IN THE BUSINESS OF MAKING MONEY..." The same can be said of all businesses. Also, if that sentiment were really true, they wouldn't make vaccines at all; they'd instead put the money into helping more cosmetic drugs like Viagra, or just treating the diseases that the vaccines are currently protecting us against.

Autism rates have remained unaffected by changes in vaccination rates, thimerosal content, ingredients, etc. They're not the cause of autism.

How do you mean preventable?

How is it preventable?

@sol2soul77 I hope you enjoy your children suffering and dieing of an easily preventable illness- I won't.,

@TheFingerbuns GOOD LUCK ON THAT QUEST ALL I SAY IS BE INQUISITIVE ABOUT EVERYTHING AND WHEN YOU ASK MORE QUESTIONS THE MORE YOU WILL LEARN. PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES ARE IN THE BUSINESS OF MAKING MONEY, NOT IN THE BUSINESS OF MORAL CODES OF CONDUCT ANY BUSINESS FOR THAT MATTER. BUT THOSE WHO IGNORE THESE SIGNALS DO SO AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE. SO THE FACT THAT I DONT AGREE WITH MERCURY BEING IN VACCINES IS ALARMIST IF THAT IS NOT SOMETHING TO BE ALARMED ABOUT THEN PLEASE CARRY ON. PEACE AND LOVE

@sol2soul77

Enjoy having your kid die of easily preventable diseases. Meanwhile I'll make sure my kids live and ignore and long since disproven alarmist studies.

IGNORANCE IS YOUR WORST ENEMY..DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOUR CHILDREN ARE BEING EXPOSED TO? OR YOU TRUST THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES THAT PROFIT FROM A SICK POPULATION. ITS TIME TO WAKE UP AND STOP LIVING IN FEAR WHICH IS BEING DRIVEN BY IGNORANCE . PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOODNESS EDIFY YOURSELVES PEACE AND LOVE
