- In the United Kingdom, researchers evaluated 498 autistic children born from 1979 through 1992 who were identified by computerized health records from 8 health districts [5]. Although a trend toward increasing autism diagnoses by year of birth was confirmed, no change in the rates of autism diagnoses after the 1987 introduction of MMR vaccine was observed. Further, MMR vaccination rates of autistic children were similar to those of the entire study population. Also, investigators did not observe a clustering of autism diagnoses relative to the time that children received MMR vaccine, nor did they observe a difference in age at autism diagnosis between those vaccinated and not vaccinated or between those vaccinated before or after 18 months of age. These authors also found no differences in autism rates among vaccinated and unvaccinated children when they extended their analysis to include a longer time after MMR exposure or a second dose of MMR [6].
- Also in the United Kingdom, researchers performed a time-trend analysis using the General Practice Research Database—a high-quality, extensively validated electronic medical record with virtually complete vaccination data [7]. More than 3 million person-years of observation during 1988–1999 confirmed an increase in autism diagnoses despite stable MMR vaccination rates.
- In California, researchers compared year-specific MMR vaccination rates of kindergarten students with the yearly autism case load of the California Department of Developmental Services during 1980–1994 [8]. As was observed in the United Kingdom, the increase in the number of autism diagnoses did not correlate with MMR vaccination rates.
- In Canada, researchers estimated the prevalence of pervasive developmental disorder with respect to MMR vaccination in 27,749 children from 55 schools in Quebec [9]. Autism rates increased coincident with a decrease in MMR vaccination rates. The results were unchanged when both exposure and outcome definitions varied, including a strict diagnosis of autism.

I have a hard time understanding how someone who is famous ONLY because she showed off her boobs is anything other than a running joke to the whole of the world.
The fact that so many people seem to value her opinions over proven science is downright terrifying.
She plays her cards right .. she might be president one day![]()
Do not worry, the anti-vax movement may end soon. Supposedly some people are not giving their pets vaccinations for the same reasons and some pet diseases are becoming more widescpread. Who cares about kids, when an adorable lab pup dies then people will care!Jenny McCarthy is a dangerous person and people need to stop listening to her and granting her interviews.
Holy Hannah, that hurt my brain.
That man is demented. Really. He is not well. And I'm not talking about just plain old ultra-alpha syndrome. He's in the early stages (at least) of some form of dementia.
