Dad, a bummer

The British govt. has been spending huge sums trying to defeat Wakefield’s research and shore up their insistance that the MMR is perfectly safe, while never actually refuting the science of it. Wakefield found evidence of measles infection in the gut of autstic children in 170 patients to date. The opposition led by Dr. Taylor supposedly refuted this, although his team never did actually look into the gut of the children they used to deny Wakefield’s work. This culminated with the forced resignation of Dr. Wakefield from Royal Free Hospital.

Curious that Dr. Buie at Harvard Mass Hospital has just now released a study involving 400 autistic children which supports Wakefield’s work, finding measles infection in the gut of 55% of the children they inspected. The difference between the two studies, Wakefield’s and Buie’s is Wakefield looked at those children with clearly obvious digestive disorders (he is a GI man), while Buie looked at a sampling of autistic children regardless.

Should Buie’s work hold up, it would indicate that the measles componet of the MMR is either directly responsible for triggering autism, or at best is an aggravating factor which makes a case of HFA become LFA.

Methinks the genie is out of the bottle, and soon no amount of money that our collective govts. may throw to the spin doctors will put it back in. The truth always comes out in the end.

Hi Anitya,
Do you happen to know a link to the research on autism and MMR?
It makes so much sense!
