Except that there have been hundreds of studies that show over and over no possible causal link between the two. The best the anti-MMR crowd can muster are opinion pieces reinterpretting somebody else's study, and graphs that clearly show they're barking up the wrong tree. I'd like to get to the bottom of it too, it's hard to cure something if you can't pin down the cause. But it's clear that the MMR vaccinations are not the source, there have been too many studies done too many ways and there's just no valid science that contradicts them even a little. Those working to cure autism have wasted enough time on MMR research, it's time to find some other possible cause to research.

Not to mention the fact the autism obviously existed long before the MMR vaccine was developed. What caused those cases? And shouldn't they be concerned with the root cause, which MMR cannot possibly be?

But ........., there have been too many studies done too many ways and there's just no valid science that contradicts them even a little.

LOL! Think I've heard that before from the medical research crowd, just before they've had to eat their words. I'll reserve judgment until I know a little more, if you don't mind.

CDC might be able to end this debate very quickly if they would honor their commitment to Mr. Burton to open up the VSD to independent review. So far, they haven't seen fit to do that.
