Topic: NATIONAL VACCINE INJURY COMPENSATION PROGRAM
A recent study published in PLoS One, the online journal of the Public Library of Science concluded that there is no link between MMR and autism. The study tested the proposition that the vaccine's weakened muscle virus somehow lodged in and inflamed intestines, allowing wasted products to escape and reach the central nervous system. The research team had two questions: Does measles virus really persist in children with both disorders (autism and gastrointestinal complaints), and did vaccination precede the GI complaints which in turn preceded autism? Studying 25 children with both autism and GI disorders, the researchers found no relationship with vaccine timing as 5 of the children had MMR vaccines preceeding GI complaints which in turn preceeded autism symptoms, and only one child had traces of measles genetic material in his bowels.
