Right, so, can we please knock this link between the MMR vaccine and autism on the head please?
As Black Triangle is far too polite to point out, it’s complete bollocks:
Our data, together with the epidemiologic evidence, demonstrate that
arguments against vaccinating children with MMR because of fear of ASD
are not defensible on scientific grounds. The risk of death and
disability from MV (measles virus) infection has been unequivocally
demonstrated. The hypothesized link between MMR and ASD is spurious and
undermines the success of measles control programs.
Now, as to what is causing it, well, maybe Simon Baron-Cohen is right?
