MMR and ASD: No link

[lindaw]

I attended this conference (http://studio3.org/members/showthread.php?t=1796) and what stood out for me was the presentation by Professor Stephen Bustin re the supposed link between autism and the MMR vacination - he was able to show that the original research was not only flawed, the samples used were contaminated within the laboratory. His work shows that there is absolutely no link between autism and the MMR. It was the best use of powerpoint I have seen for a very long time and he was able to make the very complex information accessible to lay people like me. People need to make an informed decision on whether to vacinate their children or not - they need to see this evidence as presented by Professor Bustin.

Great point Linda thank you
I have added mmr to the tags for this thread as I am sure all this time after the research was discredited people are still confused

I listend to a very informative talk by Professor Stephen Bustin who was commissioned to investigate the link between MMR. Basically, he demolished the link. I should say that the man has real gravitas and I think more people should listen to him.
