I know there have been many thread on this and don't want to provoke another general debate, but can I alk a question to those of you who support the argument that there is a link between MMR and autism? The bulk of opinion in support of the link seems to suggest that the MMR acts as a trigger for genetically susceptible individuals rahter than actually "causes" MMR. In your experiences have all children so affected experienced the "markers" that some people have identified - eg. bad reaction to previous vaccines, strong famiy history of allergy, gut problems, family history of ASD? Does anyone know of a child without these risk factors who they believe contracted ASD as a result of MMR?
TIA
