1). The MMR Controversy: Do You Know The Facts? By : Peter Nisbet
Copyright 2006 Peter Nisbet
There is a lot of controversy at the moment regarding the MMR vaccine, specifically the measles portion of it. Many parents are nervous about allowing their children to have the MMR vaccination due mainly, I believe, to its link with autism.
Most people have quite a fixed opinion I have found, though are unsure what the actual evidence is that they are believing.

The whole MMR vaccine debate started in 1998 when gastroenterologist Andrew Wakefield, in association with others, claimed that the MMR vaccine might trigger autism. Based on only 12 children, most of the others who authored the paper later retracted the findings. It was based on the possibility of the measles virus, given live as part of the vaccine, causing enterocolitis (bowel inflammation) and releasing toxins which attack the brain, causing autism.
