This eighth and final report of the Immunization Safety Review Committee examines the hypothesis that vaccines, specifically the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine and thimerosal-containing vaccines, are causally associated with autism.
This eighth and final report of the Immunization Safety Review Committee examines the hypothesis that vaccines, specifically the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine and thimerosal-containing vaccines, are causally associated with autism.
Treatment of autism with chelation therapy that has not been identified as efficacious or safe presents unnecessary risks for children with autism. In addition, avoidance of vaccination leads to an unnecessarily increased risk of infections, hospitalization, and death.
The Immunization Safety Review Committee was established by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to evaluate the evidence on possible causal associations between immunizations and certain adverse outcomes, and to then present conclusions and recommendations.
In our comparison of vaccination status between children with ASD and those without ASD, we only assessed vaccines recommended after the child’s ASD diagnosis, which enables the inference that the lower vaccination rate in children with ASD was at least in part owing to the ASD diagnosis.
