A meta-analysis published in Vaccine, involving more than one
million children, shows that there is no link between vaccines and autism.
On 20 May, The
Guardian (UK) reported:
“There is no evidence whatsoever linking the development of autism to
childhood vaccines, research from the University of Sydney has shown.
“The world-first analysis, published
in the journal Vaccine, pooled all available studies on links
between autism and vaccines for diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, as well as
the MMR shot for measles, mumps and rubella.
“The data covered more than 1.25 million children from the US, UK, Japan and
Denmark, and found no risk of autism associated with any of the vaccines tested,
or the ingredients they contain, including thimerosal and mercury.
“‘The findings were saying nothing. The odds ratio came up null, null, null.
That means there’s no connection,’ associate professor Guy Eslick, who led the
research, said. ‘You can’t get better than that.’”
