New American research shows that there could be a link between the controversial MMR triple vaccine and autism and bowel disease in children.
The study appears to confirm the findings of British doctor Andrew Wakefield, who caused a storm in 1998 by suggesting a possible link.
Now a team from the Wake Forest University School of Medicine in North Carolina are examining 275 children with regressive autism and bowel disease – and of the 82 tested so far, 70 prove positive for the measles virus.
Last night the team’s leader, Dr Stephen Walker, said: ‘Of the handful of results we have in so far, all are vaccine strain and none are wild measles.
‘This research proves that in the gastrointestinal tract of a number of children who have been diagnosed with regressive autism, there is evidence of measles virus.
‘What it means is that the study done earlier by Dr Wakefield and published in 1998 is correct. That study didn’t draw any conclusions about specifically what it means to find measles virus in the gut, but the implication is it may be coming from the MMR vaccine. If that’s the case, and this live virus is residing in the gastrointestinal tract of some children, and then they have GI inflammation and other problems, it may be related to the MMR.’
The 1998 study by Dr Wakefield, then a reader in gastroenterology at the Royal Free Hospital in North London, and 12 other doctors claimed to have found a new bowel disease, autism enterocolitis.
At the time, Dr Wakefield said that although they had not proved a link between MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) and autism, there was cause for concern and the Government should offer the option single vaccines – instead of only MMRs – until more research had been done.
The paper – and the confused interpretation of its findings – caused uproar and led to many parents withdrawing their co-operation for the triple jab. Ten of the paper’s authors also signed retractions on the interpretation but stood by the science.
This is the second independent study to back up Dr Wakefield. In 2001 John O’Leary, Professor of Pathology at St James’s Hospital and Trinity College, Dublin, replicated his findings.
Last night Dr Wakefield said: ‘This new study confirms what we found in British children and again with Professor O’Leary. The only exposure these children have had to measles is through the MMR vaccine.
‘They were developing normally until they regressed. They now suffer autism and bowel disease.
‘The Department of Health and some of the media wanted to dismiss our research as insignificant. The excuse was that no one else had the same findings as us. What they didn’t say is that no one else had looked.’
A spokesman for the Department of Health said they had not read the American report, but added: ‘MMR remains the best form of protection against measles, mumps and rubella.’

The ones who where responsible for bringing these sicknesses vaccinating to young children must be put to trial for the damages caused. They have destroyed multitudes of young people for the rest of their lives due to their irresponsible and greedy behaviour. Now we must call for justice. We shall not let them get away with this.
For anyone who wants a better understanding of what the ongoing defamation of Dr. Andrew Wakefield is all about and why articles like this one will keep surfacing, I would recommend listening to Dr. Mercola’s exellent interview with Dr. Wakefield (from April 2010). The interview gives a very good insight into the case and also reveals some astonishing facts about at how the medical authorities are trying to cover their tracks.
Gosh, are they quick, those scientists! I thought I heard and read about a valid connection between vaccins and autism years ago!? But now those corrupt rats “fear” there might be a “link”?? Maybe they “fear” we could remember their names and “link” them to the masses of autism cases? Do they smell the signs of the times? Oh, we must never forget the names of those who kept up the wall behind which all those crimes could have been comitted. They might believe, if they change their tune, we forget that they had sung a entirely different song not so long ago? We must never forget their names, all those creepy bosses of FDA, CDC and freelance murderers. As soon as the winds have changed and the breeze is strong enough, we must raise hell to shout out their names!
Dr Wakefield was recently accused of engaging in fraudulent research ,linking MMR with autism. Now it seems he is right after all. It just shows you who those crooks are that are behind all the scams, fraud, misinformation and speudo sciemntific claims that allow millions of victims to be subjected to invasive vaccines that at best are useless but at worst cost people their health and their lives. If not the death penalty they need to get at least life for what they have been doing .
This study is meaningless! All this show is that 70 out of 82 children were vaccinated. There is no comparison to a control group – how do we know that if you test non-autistic children you won’t find the same instance of the virus? There is also nothing to show any sort of causal relationship, or whether there is a relationship with autism or just bowel disease – it is just as likely that bowel disease increases the chance of measles showing as anything else.
This is a long way from “confirming” Wakefields study.
