No links between autism and vaccinations: study

Whether to vaccinate children has sparked fiery debate among parents for decades.

Many parents feel immunization is unnatural, and there are fears about a link between vaccination and autism.

But a new report led by the University of Sydney appears to have settled that argument.

A review of available data from around the world has found that there is no link between vaccination and the development of autism or autism spectrum disorders.

The study examined seven sets of data involving more than 1.25 million children and concluded that there was no evidence to support a relationship between common vaccines for measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough and the development of autism.

The paper’s senior author, Associate Professor Guy Eslick from the Sydney Medical School, said he was inspired to look into the issue after watching some documentaries on the medical debate.
