Vaccines, Thimerosal, MMR, Mercury Not Associated With Autism

What is says on the tin: A new meta-evaluation analyzing data from scientific studies involving 1.three million children is entitled “Vaccines are not associated with autism.”


If that is not clear adequate, author Luke Taylor and colleagues, who looked at five research covering 1.26 million youngsters and yet another five situation-handle studies of 9920 youngsters, also give the (pre-press) bullet-point model of their findings, published in the journal Vaccine:



  • There was no relationship in between vaccination and autism (OR: .99 95% CI: .92 to 1.06).

  • There was no partnership among vaccination and ASD (autism spectrum disorder) (OR: .91 95% CI: .68 to 1.twenty).

  • There was no partnership amongst [autism/ASD] and MMR (OR: .84 95% CI: .70 to 1.01).

  • There was no connection between [autism/ASD] and thimerosal (OR: 1.00 95% CI: .77 to one.31).

  • There was no relationship amongst [autism/ASD] and mercury (Hg) (OR: 1.00 95% CI: .93 to 1.07).

  • Findings of this meta-examination recommend that vaccinations are not associated with the improvement of autism or autism spectrum disorder.


It’s not that we didn’t know that presently. But a meta-examination takes the existing analysis and grinds the numbers and offers the bigger picture of what the aggregate of the findings tells us. Without a doubt, seeking a the odds ratios the authors report–in which one implies no effect of vaccine or other variable on odds and much less than 1 indicates reduced odds–the information recommend diminished autism chance amid young children who obtained the MMR vaccine.

The content articles integrated in their review have been any prospective (planned just before data collection) or retrospective (planned after data collection) cohort and situation-management (pairing research participants with and with no a specific variable for comparison) studies. They excluded research that employed the US Vaccine Adverse Occasions Reporting Method as their population simply because, as the authors note, there is a limitation of:



substantial risk of bias including unverified reviews, underreporting, inconsistent data quality, absence of an unvaccinated management group and many reports getting filed in connection with litigation.



There is very good reason for that exclusion–this is, following all, a database that has integrated reports that vaccines turned people into superheroes.


According to the paper authors, this meta-evaluation is the only 1 that has quantified the data from the cohort and case-management scientific studies, crunched the numbers, and turned up these meta-final results.


In an uncommon step, the paper also contains an “Epilogue,” written in the initial particular person by one particular of the unidentified authors, but I infer that the author is senior writer Guy Eslick (note that the under quote is from a pre-press model of the paper):



As an epidemiologist I feel the data that is presented in this meta-analysis. Even so, as a parent of three kids I have someunderstanding of the fears connected with reactions and effects ofvaccines. My first two youngsters have had febrile seizures following routine vaccinations, 1 of them a serious occasion. These occasions did not stop me from vaccinating my third youngster, even so, I did take some proactive measures to minimize the risk of comparable adverse effects. I vaccinated my little one in the morning so that we had been aware if[sic] any early adverse response throughout the day and I also gave my little one a dose of paracetamol 30 min prior to the vaccination was provided to lessen any fever that might develop soon after the injection. As a mother or father I know my kids much better than any person and I equate their seizures to the effects of the vaccination by growing their body temperature. For mother and father who do recognize a considerable adjust in their child’s cognitive function and behaviour right after a vaccination I encourage you to report these events immediately to your family members doctor and tothe ‘Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System’.



As the researchers note, their conclusions agree with these of eleven of 12 systematic reviews addressing the same query. The authors state that they have no conflicts of interest.
