I cannot help but touch on this as I am always getting asked if I would give my child the MMR.

It has been said,

"An unimmunised child is the infectious equivalent of a drunk driver"

MMR, autism, and Adam

"Adam was born in January 1990. His early development was uneventful though slow by comparison with that of his older sister. At 15 months, when Adam received his measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, he was beginning to articulate two word utterances. After 18 months, however, Adam began to show signs which gave my wife and me cause for concern..."


MMR...the evidence?

"More media circuses about vaccinating children with MMR, and the "association" of MMR vaccination with autism and inflammatory bowel disease. Frightening stuff, but much heat and little light."

I think we all need to open our eyes and accept the fact that no one has proven the link between Autism and the MMR vaccine. We need more published data on this, as so many parents are scared off by the thought that if their child is given the MMR they may, Allah Forbid, get autism later on in their life. It is a horrific thought. Parents need to have their mind put at rest. Umm Three Gems.

Alhamdullilah. This shows what a mess we can end up in if we follow the media and people with no medical based background.

We have to gfive up the conspiricy theories and return to trusting doctors to give the best treatment for the individual. Good research is based on rigourous testing with controlled conditions. Not on the basis of one man who was funded by zealous solicitors looking for an excuse to sue.

When we don't trust doctors we leave ourselves open to charlatans and pseudo doctors that prescribe nothing to cure everything. La hawala wa la quwata illa bIllah.
