After studying 498 children with autism, experts say they can find no link
with the combined measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine. Since a

vaccinated. The scientists behind the latest research, published in The
Lancet (vol 353, p 2026), hope their findings will reverse this. It is “a
very worrying trend,” says Elizabeth Miller of the Public Health Laboratory
Service in London.
