Professor Claims Controversial Vaccine Can Trigger

Brain

Disorder in

Children

Is This Proof of a Link Between MMR Jabs and Autism?

The first scientific evidence that the MMR vaccine may

cause autism has

been established, a leading U.S. researcher claims.

Professor Vijendra Singh has carried out laboratory

tests which, he

says, prove that the measles, mumps, and rubella jab

can

damage protein

in the brain and trigger autism.

His findings have been welcomed in the UK by

campaigners

fighting for

Government-funded research into the causal link between

the MMR jab and

autism.

The latest claims come two years after Professor Singh

suggested that

exposure to measles could trigger a response in some

children which

interfered with the development of the myelin sheath

surrounding the

nerves in the brain.

If the myelin does not develop properly, nerve fibres

fail to function

correctly-something which could explain brain

abnormalities associated

with autism.

At the weekend, he told the International Public

Conference on

vaccination, in Virginia, that he had proof the MMR

vaccine could

trigger an auto-immune reaction in some children.

This, in turn, could cause antibodies in the blood to

attack the brain.

He argues that autism is caused by auto-immunity tp

part

of the

brain-an abnormal reaction in which the immune system

becomes primed to

react against body organs.

Professor Singh, from Utah State University, told the

conference: " This

study provides the first ever laboratory-based evidence

for a causal

relationship between MMR and autism.

'As I made scientific presentation of my initial

findings, a

vaccine-autism connection became even more apparent.

'The rapidly-accumulating evidence strongly implicates

auto-immunity in

autism which, in many cases, may result from a vaccine

injury.'

He analysed blood samples from 140 children, 80 of whom

suffered from

autism, and found antibodies associated with the MMR

vaccine in 53 per

cent of the autistic children.

These antibodies were not found in the blood of any of

the control

group.

About 2,000 families in Britain have taken legal action

claiming their

children have been damaged by the MMR jab. Many believe

it has

triggered autism.

However, the Department of Health last night said that

Prof. Singh's

research would not alter the policy on MMR.

A spokesman insisted that parents had nothing to fear

from giving their

babies the MMR jab. 'We have looked at the professor's

claims, and we

do not find them convincing,' she added.

'Other independent studies have shown there is no

connection between

the vaccine and autism. Our advice to parents is still

for their

children to have the triple vaccine.'

Scares about its side effects have dented confidence in

the MMR jab.

On Friday, health chiefs warned a measles epidemic in

children was

inevitable if the trend away from vaccination

continued.

I MAY BE YOUNG, BUT....was MEASLES worse than autism??????-Shari NY

Shari, yes and no. measels can be deadly. It killed people in droves.

The measles vaccine was a great idea. But what happened was modern medicine

bastardized it for profit and convenience into a triple vaccine and that is

the wicked part.
