The assumption that MMR vaccines cause autism is not isolated to the United States. A seven-year study was done in Denmark from 1991 to 1998 following children who received the MMR vaccine. The results of the study found that when comparing the vaccinated children to the unvaccinated children, the risk of autism in the vaccinated group was 0.92 ...

[8] [9] [10] In 1999, due to concern about the dose of mercury infants were being exposed to, the U.S. Public Health Service recommended that thiomersal be removed from childhood vaccines, and by 2002 the flu vaccine was the only childhood vaccine containing more than trace amounts of thimerosal. Despite this, autism rates did not decrease ...
Following this determination, the vaccine court has routinely dismissed such suits, finding no causal effect between the MMR vaccine and autism. [12] Many studies have failed to conclude that there is a causal link between autism spectrum disorders and vaccines, [13] and the current scientific consensus is that routine childhood vaccines are ...
The proposal of a vaccine-autism link has been called "the most damaging medical hoax of the last 100 years". [ 9 ] Fudenberg claimed in a 2004 interview with Brian Deer that he was able to cure autistic children using his own bone marrow . [ 12 ]
A new study of close to 100,000 children shows no link between the vaccine to prevent measles, mumps, and rubella and an increased risk of autism. Researchers analyzed health insurance claims ...
• Claims that MMR vaccines and other thimerosal-containing vaccines can combine to cause autism. • Claims that center on vaccines containing thimerosal causing autism. • Claims that MMR vaccines alone (with no mention of thimerosal) can cause autism. Three Special Masters examined the evidence for each of those claims.
The scientific consensus is that there is no relationship, causal or otherwise, between vaccines and incidence of autism, [16] [17] [15] and vaccine ingredients do not cause autism. [ 18 ] Nevertheless, the anti-vaccination movement continues to promote myths, conspiracy theories and misinformation linking the two. [ 19 ]
