Various research and studies have found no evidence that MMR (Measles Mumps Rubella ) vaccine could cause autism. Final population based study in North London has been published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ 2002; 324:393-396). 473 people with symptoms of autism born between 1979 and 1998 have been examined.

The conclusion of this study is as follows:

The study found that the absence of a link between MMR to form “new variant” of autism with regression of child development and bowel problems (bowel disorder), and is a strong evidence to indicate the lack of involvement with the initiation of MMR vaccine with autism.
