This just isn’t how “science” is supposed to work:  someone does primary research and then someone instantly responds with “proof” that it is wrong.  But, then again, maybe it’s not science, but instead, propaganda.  - SM

No link found between MMR vaccine and bowel problems in autistic children

The proportion of autistic children with developmental regression or bowel symptoms has not changed over the 20 years from 1979. Taylor and colleagues (p 393) suggest that neither regression nor bowel problems are associated with MMR vaccination. These findings provide no support for a "new variant" form of autism associated with MMR vaccine and provide further reassurance for parents and health professionals regarding the safety of the vaccine.
