Large study shows?yet again?that the MMR vaccine does not cause autism
A major study confirms what doctors and scientists have been saying for years: there’s no link between the MMR vaccine, which is used to vaccinate against measles, mumps and rubella, and the development of autism.

Rather than ask parents whether their kids were vaccinated?and if they also had autism?they looked at information collected in the Danish Civil Registration System and the Danish Vaccination registry, as well as other reports of autism diagnoses. They found that kids who weren’t vaccinated were just as likely to have autism as those who weren’t. About one percent?or 6,517 kids?were diagnosed with autism while they were part of the study.

They found that, with all of these factors, the risk of developing autism was the same whether the child had gotten the vaccine or not.
