Autism and measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine: no epidemiological evidence for a causal association
Brent Taylor,Elizabeth Miller,CPaddy Farrington,Maria-Christina Petropoulos,Isabelle Favot-Mayaud,Jun Li,Pauline Waight +6 more
TL;DR: The authors' analyses do not support a causal association between MMR vaccine and autism, and it is suggested that if such an association occurs, it is so rare that it could not be identified in this large regional sample.
