Court Decides MMR Vaccine Not Cause for Autism

Published by mountainmom at 4:36 pm under Parenting/Baby News Edit This

I’ve been loosely following this so I thought I’d post the recent news. Three court judges ruled today against parents who wanted vaccine makers held liable for the possibility that the vaccines cause autism. Several studies have recently been published that support the decision but this is the first round of court cases to dismiss the possibility of a link between the MMR (Measles, Mumps & Rubella) vaccine and the development of autism.

As the video notes, there are still a few cases open that argue that other vaccines or ingredients in vaccines might lead to autism. The MMR connection though has been seen as the strongest case so far and three judges have just dismissed the connection in three separate cases.

    Interesting.

    I believe that the benefits of the vaccine far outweigh the risks, but I agree that more study needs to be conducted here.

    We’ll see how this pans out.
