Measles Vaccine and Autism

I have written about the problems with the measles/mumps/rubella (MMR) vaccine in the past, including mention of research by Dr. Andrew Wakefield that found the measles virus in the lymph tissue of 12 autistic children.   Those children never developed measles, but they did get the measles vaccine.

Dr. Wakefield thought that vaccines could be causing the gut inflammation that most autistic kids suffer. For that crime — criticizing a vaccine — he was vilified by the media and the medical profession.

Later, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) altered a 2004 study, hiding data that supported Dr. Wakefield's research.

A whistleblower — who was an author on that 2004 paper — came forward last year to say that the paper was a fraud; the CDC hid data that showed a clear link between the early administration of the MMR vaccine and autism.

Furthermore, the MMR vaccine is known to cause shedding — a process by which the recipient excretes the measles virus in bodily fluids after it is administered.

The Moral of the Story:  Studies can be and  often are faked.

Can I ask you a few questions?  I promise they're easy.
Have you read the Wakefield paper from the Lancet?  The answer is probably "no".
Have you read Hooker's paper from  Translational Neurodegeneration?  The answer is probably also "no".
Have you read the DeStefano paper from Pediatrics.  Again the answer is probably "no".

See no problem.  Now I want you answer a slightly harder question:

Which of those papers do you think David Brownstein, M.D. has read and why?

Notice how you can't answer that?  That you have this urge to change the subject.  Perhaps post another already debunked anti-vaccine claim from years ago?  Or maybe put on that dime-store mystic persona?

As someone who's read all three of those papers I have a pretty good answer to that question.  Let me know if you ever get around to reading actual papers.  I won't hold my breath.

B.t.w. I don't agree with Dr. Wakefield, I am strongly against vaccinations of all kinds because of what they have done to my children, I almost lost one.

Sorry about your children also I generally don't watch videos.  If there are some strong bits of evidence you'd like to highlight I'd be happy to respond to them.

Nah, I just wanted you people to look at the Youtube movie.
