\r\n \r\n On the Japanese study you mean? They\'re using that to try to prove the \'innocence\' of the MMR jab.
\nThe whole picture is blurred. Both sides having equally strong views.
\n
\nI think we\'re all agreed the spotlight is on the mercury containing preservative thimerosal.
\nThe Russians banned it from use in children\'s vaccines in 1980. So they were obviously on to something.
\n
\nMercury is one of the most toxic substances known to man. So toxic to all, BUT an estimated 3% of people are directly mercury sensitive. Something else entirely. This has always been my theory on it. For the majority their immune systems can deal with it. For the 3%, especially if their immune system is below par...
\n
\nThe Japanese have a great love of seafood - fish, whale and edible seaweeds. Increased pollution of the seas could account for the increase in childhood autism, if mercury is indeed the cause.\r\n

\nExactly! They\'re trying to \'sell\' it as something, claiming that it actually prevents autism by cherry-picking the data.

\nJohnny replies, "I didn\'t break the window!"

\nThe below comes from here
\n
\n
\nAll the literature focuses on either
\n

1. the measles in the MMR (via Wakefield)
\n
2. or - the mercury possibility
\n
3. or - the whole MMR, assuming it remained unchanged.
\n

1) An association between measles and autism appears to have been disproven.
\n 2) An association between mercury and autism has faded since the autism explosion persisted even after removing mercury from all mandatory childhood vaccines.
\n 3) All articles dealing with this issue treat the MMR as an unchanging entity.
\n
\n BUT THIS IS WRONG!
\n The 1st MMR (MMoR) was used from �69 until a new version was licensed in late �79. While the measles remained the same, the rubella portion changed from the original strains to the new 27/3 strain (MMR27/3). Coincidental with the introduction of the MMR27/3 version:
\n i. AD started increasing
\n ii. ASD emerged � having never before been recognized.
\n When old articles are re-examined focusing on this change:
\n a) Confusing data becomes more understandable (see ERRONEOUS FOCUS)
\n
\n b)The association of autism (AD and ASD) with the MMR27/3 becomes more plausible. (see SUPPORTING DATA: charts from UK, Sweden and the US.) The RUBELLA27/3 appears to be an extremely viable explanation of the increased prevalence of AUTISM, with both appearing in the \'80\'s.
