MMR Studies?

February 22, 2001

Hi all - someone I know believes that it is not possible for there to be

a link between the MMR and autism (gggrrrrr). She is a nurse and is

looking for studies. Does anyone have any links they can post that I

can pass on? Unfortunately it's the studies that tend to get attention

from the masses....educate, educate, educate, I say!

Thanks -

I don't have any info on the studies to pass on but I do have a horrible

story to tell everyone.

My blacksmith is the most punctual person I have ever worked with. If he

says he is going to be here at 2, he is here. Two weeks ago he had made an

appointment with a friend and never showed. He didn't call or anything.

When she finally got in touch with his answering machine the machine said

that he had a family emergency and would contact everyone when he got back in

town.

Yesterday, he trimmed her horses feet and he told her that his sister's 18

month old baby had died as a result of the MMR vaccine. The baby had been

sickly her entire life but nothing life threatening. His sister took the

baby to get her MMR and the baby began to cry immediately. She became very

fussy but the sister just contributed it to a simple reaction -- nothing to

worry about. Later in the day the baby quieted and fell asleep. She was put

in her crib and when the mother went to check her a couple of hours later the

baby was dead. The doctor said it was a reaction to the shot and she had

died from a brain hemorrhage.

Don't let anyone say these shots are safe.

I am sure you will get lots of responses on the gut thing, but thiis

is a fascinating snip on a different autoimmune link with MMR.
