AUTISM

It is a condition that affects thae brain and makes communicating and interacting with other people more difficult.The causes of autism is unknown, but genetics differences in brain anatomy and toxic substances in the environment are thought to contribute to children developing this condition.

• Much of the blame lies with a study published in 1998 a firmer UK doctor Andrew Walkfield published a study in "The Lancet" that suggested that the MMR vaccine might cause autism.it made 80% of 2 years children to stop taking MMR vaccine over a few years.
• And the research used in that study was found to be false, the doctor who wrote it lost his medical licence by U.K General Medical Council, and he started an anti vaccination campaign in Texas, United States.
• In 2014 Wakefield directed a movie, Vaxxed, accusing the center for Disease Control (CDC) of covering up the evidence that the MMR vaccine could increase the risk of autism in black children.
• The CDC says the association was not because vaccines were autism.
• One of the largest study was published in 2014 by the journal vaccine and involved data on 1.3 million people.
• According to the researchers "the vaccination is not associated with the development of autism or autism spectrum disorder, the components of the vaccine or multiple vaccines are not associated with the development of autism or autism spectrum disorder"
• Some of the kids have a reaction to a vaccine like mild fever or rash. But its clear that the risk of serious reaction to the MMR vaccine is small compared with a health risks associated with the often serious disease they prevent.
