MMR @ 3years, safe for my autistic son???

Hayley S

Hi all. Just wana get some opinions on the MMR vaccine.

My son had his first dose at 12months old and I noticed a change in his behaviour straight away. He had started saying 'choo choo' (he loves Thomas the tank), clapping and doing the stars with his hands to 'twinkle twinkle'. Soon after his dose of MMR he stopped all that.

He will be 3years old in December and has only recently started to say 'choo choo' again and a few other words such as cat. he has come on so much which has taken a lot of work from myself, my husband, our families, speech thearpy and speech groups.

I'm frightened that if he has the 2nd dose of MMR it will stop all he's learnt and send him back to the beginning!! 

any feesback or thoughts or suggestions on this would be very much appreciated. I've looked into having the vaccinations done in 3 separate injections... Any thoughts on that either? 

Thanks you. Hayley xxx

  • I didn't mention official websites or governments. I went to the actual scientific findings.

    Of course, you should feel free to produce peer-reviewed papers supporting your position, but I don't believe there are any. Sites with beguiling names mentioning 'liberty' and 'underground' are easy to set up and completely unregulated. But aside from one highly unusual case from Italy (which is also where seismologists were convicted for failing to prevent deaths in an earthquake) I am not aware of any legal rulings which have upheld a causal link between vaccination and autism.

    It doesn't sound like you're impartial or open-minded, IntenseWorld. It sounds like you're dedicated to promoting the false and damaging idea that the MMR vaccine causes autism. Let me repeat: it is scientific research, checked and re-checked by scientists in many countries, which has shown that there is no substantiated link here. This isn't something handed down by governments or pushed by some absurd conspiracy. It's science. Repeatable, testable, independently verifiable science.

    And every child who could be vaccinated and isn't is placed at risk, and places others at risk, of fatal diseases.
