After studying 498 children with autism, experts say they can find no link
with the combined measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine. Since a
controversial study linked the vaccine to an inflammatory bowel condition and autism
(This Week, 7 March 1998, p 4), fewer British children have been
vaccinated. The scientists behind the latest research, published in The
Lancet (vol 353, p 2026), hope their findings will reverse this. It is 鈥渁
very worrying trend,鈥 says Elizabeth Miller of the Public 91色情片 Laboratory
Service in London.
