From the CEC Smart Brief:


A survey of 31 measles, mumps and rubella vaccine studies from around the world by the renowned Cochrane Library has found no link between the vaccine and disorders such as autism. A now-discredited 1998 study in the British medical journal The Lancet that suggested a causal connection between MMR and autism has lowered the percentage of youngsters getting shots to worrisome levels in some parts of Britain. The Times (London) (10/19)
