As I pointed out before, autism was originally associated with the MMR vaccine on the strength of a study by Andrew Wakefield in Britain that covered all of 12 children. Subsequent studies showed NO association.

You need to do some more research. He studied another 160 children and he believes there is a connection but he's not sure of all the specifics. You are grossly mis-representing the findings related to Wakefield's investigation.

LOL! What the hell does that mean? He did a study but "believes" there is a connection?

This has been followed up in numerous studies and there is NO relationship between MMR and autism.

Anyway, if you hadn't noticed, they aren't saying MMR causes autism anymore, now its thimerosal.
