Single MMR vaccines

I don't think single vaccines are available in the UK as the licence was revoked after the potential link between autism and MMR was made in the 90s. I'm not sure whether the licence has been reinstated but I do think more parents would consider vaccinating if single vaccines were still an option, especially those who already had a bad reaction.  The author of the original (gastrointestinal) case study recommended single vaccinations for worried parents while more research was done.  Instead, the decision-makers took it off the UK market, tried to discredit the study and lost the trust of many parents in the process.  

Apparently, its ok to believe autistic people can be more sensitive to any food or medication, but never to a vaccine. I can't understand that.  If your child had a bad reaction I guess you will have to live with people reacting badly to your view for now, do more research and make an informed decision on what to do next. 

Personally, I think most autism diagnoses are genetic in origin, but I also believe we can be more susceptible to side effects of all medications, including vaccines.  I think this environmental sensitivity is part of the reason we have so many comorbid health conditions today. The autism itself isnt a problem but being in pain/discomfort because of an uninvestigated health condition or allergic reaction is. I think we should be trying to find better ways to avoid and treat vaccine side effects, (eg. Universal pre-vax screening for allergies to the vaccine ingredients, like peanut and egg), rather than blindly denying they exist.

I also think parents would be more likely to vaccinate if they werent going to be constantly persecuted and patronised by everyone around them and denied medical help if their child IS the one harmed by the known, admitted and documented side effect risks.  The violent reactions people get for sharing their story are unnerving. Even since the CDC whistleblower confirmed the cover-up, nobody is allowed to discuss the issue.
