Hey Steve, the missing link between MMR vaccination and autism is poor gut microbiome. Around 2004, while looking around on the internet, I came across a study of MMR and autism...Haven't been able to find the study since (seems to have been "black-holed).

Hey Steve, the missing link between MMR vaccination and autism is poor gut microbiome. Around 2004, while looking around on the internet, I came across a study of MMR and autism...Haven't been able to find the study since (seems to have been "black-holed).
The study involved 50 toddlers who were about to get MMR vaccine (1st shot, not a booster; no other shots given at same appointment). All 50 kids were assessed and their development and behavior were judged to be normal. Half of the kids had a history of some sort of digestive problem -- things like colic, persistent diarrhea or constipation, baby formula changed because of allergy, food allergies or intolerances, etc. Half the kids had nothing in their history that suggested digestive problems.
The kids were checked again one month after MMR vaccination. None of the no-digestive-system-problem kids had developed symptoms of autism. But 23 of the 25 kids with a history of digestive problems had become autistic within a month after MMR vaccination. That's 92%.
So how about you design another survey, Steve? I suggest asking parents whose children are less than 4 years old, so parents are more likely to have clear memories of any digestive problems their children had as babies. Also, you want babies who were considered "full term" not premature. The first question would be something like "From birth to time of first MMR vaccination, did your child experience *any* of the following:
Mother given IV antibiotics during labor because she tested positive for Strep B
Baby given IV antibiotics in NICU in case baby inhaled meconium during birth
Child had colic
Child had persistent diarrhea
Child had persistent constipation
Persistent excessive gas (burping, passing gas)
Child "urped" after almost every feeding for first 3-4 months
Child had yeasty-smelling stools
Child was prone to diaper rash
Formula had to be changed because baby was allergic
Child's weight gain was less than expected
Child persistently rejected solid foods after 7 months
Child had more than 2 food allergies or intolerances
Doctor treated child for candida overgrowth in gut
Doctor recommended giving child probiotics because of digestive symptoms
Child was a "picky eater" and rejected many foods after age 12 months
You could make this first question a simple yes or no question, or you could ask parents to check the box for each of the items listed above.
The second question would be "Did your child develop significant autistic symptoms within four weeks after the MMR vaccination? Or did you take your child to a doctor because you were concerned about changes in your child's behavior that started within four weeks after the vaccination?" Some symptoms would be:
Stopped making eye contact or made much less eye contact
Stopped speaking or spoke much less
Self-stimulated by rocking or twirling
Stopped playing with toys, or played with toys in strange ways (e.g. arranging toys in rows)
Stopped playing with siblings
Rejected cuddles, hugs, and other loving touch
Stopped smiling in response to a parent or sibling's smile
You could make this second question a simple yes or no question, or you could ask parents to check the box for each of the behavior items listed.
You might want to ask whether any other vaccines were given at the same time as the MMR. (If you haven't seen Theresa Deisher's research on vaccines and autism, look it up. She thinks all the vaccines manufactured on human fetal cell lines put a child at risk of autism. Also, quite a few parents think it was DTaP vaccine that triggered their children's autism.)
This wasn't the original Wakefield study (which I've read more than once). Wakefield did do several follow-up studies but they were very technical, involving lots of meticulous lab study of gut tissue...and by the way, the conclusion of this additional research was that the "sick" gut tissue of at least some autistic children was infected with measles virus. I would love to get my hands on copies of these later studies. I think only one was published. It was probably the news of what Wakefield's additional research was showing that provoked whoever-it-was to hire Brian Deer to attack Wakefield.
Wakefield has never mentioned the study I talked about in my comment, as far as I know. I doubt that he knew about it.
when i was drafted at 19 i had no gut problems...received a barrage of vaxes at 1 time during basic training ...2 months later i had gut problems....blqamed it on cooking for 500 at a time,feeding 2 companies...soon pain got so bad i went on sick call...they found inflamed guts and bleeding ulcer....i finally learned after i was out of service that the vaxes were responsible...a church member recommended i buy a juicer and juice carrots....that knowledge solved a lot of pain i had for many yrs after my service....get a juicer and juice fresh vegies and fruit...start with carrots....and stay close to a job jonny.....but the living enzymes in the juice really helped to heal anytime the insides caused me pain....no more maloxx!!!!

Is this possibly Andrew Wakefields study you're referring to?
People bringing up Wakefield's study who haven’t even read it are a major roadblock in our quest for truth in the autism-vaccine discussion.
