MMR

[liviray]

Just curious really what the general consensus is. I am a childrens nurse, and me and my collegues were discussing it today.

I feel that there has never been any significant proof that the jab causes autism so I will be letting Ella have it done. I have thought about it a lot, but the fuss seems to have died down now (since the bloke that discovered it buggered off to America to get paid for holding conferences on it didn't he?).

I agree , my daughter had the jab, there is little evidence that it causes autisum and the risks of getting any of the 3 illnesses being vaccinted against are far greater and more harmful to a youngest than autisum.

Jack will be having it as did Emily
He will also be getting the new meningitis (sp?)one aswell and i am hoping they will give Emily it aswell

Hi ethan and callum have both had it and so will lily.

Ethan is being investigated for autism at the mo and has been for sometime, but I don't think that the jab has anythink to with children that get it.

This is only my oppinion but I've read quite a bit about austism and I think alot of the speculation if due to the fact that children start to show the signs of autism at around the age of 3, however I don't think this has anything to do with the MMR I think that it is just when children start to develope more in terms of speech, awareness and understanding so it is when difference between children that have autism and those that do not become more apparent.

Sorry to go on just wanted to explain my view properly.
