do u think the mmr jab is liked with poss autoism

B had his last thursday so gives me my awnser i dont have it and everyone i know whos had MMR is fine

i put no as it isnt proven that the mmr can cause autism, autism is diagnosed about the time the mmr is given.

my ohs cousin has autism so i was really nervous about the mmr so i talked it thro with my hv who was very understanding and patient with me+ could c y i was concearned she got loads of stuff off the net 4 me n went thro it all, and made me see that its never been physically proven tht it causes it. i cud add loads more but its a subject i feel strong about and dont wanna get in a debate sorry

I put no as there is no hard research to suggest that the MMR is linked with autism.

I hadnt got a clue it was even suggested that MMR was linked with Autism!

I mean how can some antibodies being injected cause autism ?

anyway I havent read or heard anything about this so I cant really comment.

We were unsure about MMR when I had ds 5yrs ago but had decided to give him the MMr jab when it all blew about Tony Blair's son. When Blair wouldn't state that his son had it done it made us really nervous so in the end decided to have single vaccines. It has cost us a fortune ( about £700 in total for initial jabs and then boosters got disount. for boosters as had dd vaccinated at same clinic) . I personally think it is money well spent as the children most likely to react are boys with family history of allery. In few of my sons problems I don't regret having single vaccines and this baby and any other we have will also have separate vaccine.

so is it the fact that they get the measles mumps and rubella in onme injection together ? how come its better to have them seperartly ?

They think that giving it all in one can overload the system I think. Its such a long time now I can't remeber. If given sep thye have a gap of two to three months inbetwenn. Measles first , then rubella , then mumps.

ah right, and they think that can lead to autism! confuses me! lol

I am not concerned about the autism link but I am still not sure where I stand with the mmr. Wwe are thinking of single jabs but I am still trying to make my mind up.
