If I am not mistaken, I think Wakefield has also referred to this study as one that confirmed his.

That study didn’t draw any conclusions about specifically what it means to find measles virus in the gut, but the implication is it may be coming from the MMR vaccine.

Wakefield said that although they had not proved a link between MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) and autism, there was cause for concern and the Government should offer the option single vaccines - instead of only MMRs - until more research had been done.The paper - and the confused interpretation of its findings - caused uproar and led to many parents withdrawing their co-operation for the triple jab.

Personally, I do not mind at all that we are revisiting older messages. My oldest son has developed an interest in biophysics, of all things. He was a bit on the spectrum when he was younger, and he seems to be willing to help his younger brother who is having trouble with Math (I hope).AasaSubject: Re: Not so new - from 2006 New findings link MMR to autism: study at Wake Forest University School of MedicineTo: EOHarm Date: Sunday, April 18, 2010, 12:16 AM
