A report from the Sunday Herald Online questions whether the MMR vaccine, used for measles, mumps and rubella, should have ever been licensed for use.
According to the article, senior clinicians and researchers argue that “the MMR should not have been licensed in 1988 because there was insufficient evidence of its safety and the decision to license it was premature.”
Although the vaccine manufacturer denies any causal relationship, the article states that the MMR vaccine “has been linked to autism in children.”
At question, were the lengths of time spent on observational studies. Researchers stated that they were too short, lacking to include “the time of onset of delayed neurological or other adverse events”, according to the article.
