Ask Dr. Sears

For over a decade now most doctors, researchers, and government officials have denied that there could be any link between vaccines and autism. They’ve denied it so vehemently that they’ve refused to adequately study the very idea. Until now. The federal government’s vaccine advisory panel (the National Vaccine Advisory Committee or NVAC) just voted to recommend to the US Dept of Health and Human Services that they and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conduct large-scale prospective research trials in groups of vaccinated versus unvaccinated children to determine various theoretical risk factors and possible severe reactions to vaccines, including autism.
MMR and Autism Controversy
Is there a link between MMR vaccinations and the rise in Autism? The rule of thumb used to be that babies should begin the MMR vaccinations at one year. Much controversy has been stirred about these vaccinations. Autism often begins to be recognized about the time the toddlers are vaccinated for Measles, Mumps, and Rubella, so is this vaccination the cause of the epidemic of autism?
Today, many parents and some doctors are recommending delaying the beginning of the series until children are 18 months or more. Some feel it is best to give the inoculations individually.
