mmr jab

Hello

Apologies if I am posting in the wrong section  but i would like some advice on the MMR jab.  Do you as parents of children feel that there was a definite link between your child getting the MMR jab and being diagnosed / did you notice a difference after your child had the jab.  I am very unsure whether to get the jab for my child due to the possible link.  thanks

    There is no link whatsoever.  It is a myth, which has been consistently debunked by study after study, both before and after the Andrew Wakefield scandal.  

    A good response to the MMR scare caused by Andrew Wakefield is this article from Ben Goldacre's Bad Science website - www.badscience.net/.../ 

    Beat me to it. Good book too.
