The above article relates how a family has won an 18 year battle to prove the MMR vaccine damaged their son, and how this admission gives hope to the parents who claim this vaccine gave their child Autism.

Whether or not it might cause some conditions, there is no evidence at all that would support the claims that it causes Autism.

This topic was discussed when it happened in August 2010.

Bringing it up now leads to the idea that there has been an additional judgement on this matter.

This young man (then a baby a little over a year old) had seizures and brain damage within 10 days of receiving the vaccine and possibly caused by the vaccine. (Most seizures do not cause brain damage)

I'm glad the family got some money to help pay for continuing care.

Now, on the question of whether vaccines cause some cases of autism, instead of toxicity of mercury, I think some funky autoimmune condition say somewhat similar to Guillain-Barre is more plausible as a possible cause.

And I think they sometimes recommend just getting one vaccine at a time,

whereas MMR is three vaccines in a single shot.

Sorry, I got it from a site that had it listed as "Latest Headlines", so I thought it was a new thing, should have checked the date on the Mail online site.

This is rather off topic, but your post reminds me of what someone once told me of his time in the army. He was a medic at a military base in West Germany in the 1970s. One of their soldiers hated getting shots and successfully avoided getting any of their required inoculations for a long time.

One day the GI had to go to the base hospital for something quite minor. While he was there, one of the medics looked at his records and saw how many inoculations he had missed and so they grabbed him and gave them every one of them in the course of a couple of minutes.

The former medic said that the GI was sick for several days from all of the inoculations.

By the way, when I went back to school to work on another degree in the mid 1990s, there was a rule that everyone under a certain age had to be inoculated for measles before they could attend school. I was over that age.

I mentioned it to one of the doctor's there. He said that the supposition was that anyone older than that would have had measles and didn't need to be inoculated. He looked kind of surprised when I pointed out that my younger brother had the measles, but I never did.

The nice thing is that if everyone else has been inoculated for the measles, then your risk of catching them is very small since there is nobody around with the measles to which you might be exposed.
