Analysis of “Measles vaccination and antibody response in autism spectrum disorders”, Baird et Al, Arch Dis Child doi:10.1136/adc.2007.122937. Published 5th February 2008
The report was examined and the following conclusions have been drawn from the evidence presented:
1. The choice of participants in the study appears to have been chosen on the basis of established diagnostic criteria. However, and m...

Both John Stone and Raymond Gallup would find the answers to their questions if they actually read the study they are so quick to criticise. The authors were testing a specific hypothesis which is clearly explained. I suggest Raymond Gallup reads the detailed section concerning measles antibody tests and their results, if he does not know whether these were measured in this study. If John Stone is unclear about selection...

On reading a report regarding the article by Gillian Baird, PhD, on the possible link between MMR and autism, I was dismayed by the conclusion. While I do not hold an opinion as to the possible link, the study's conclusions as quoted in Medscape appear unfounded. The absence of elevated levels of virus or antibody in autistic children does not disprove a link between MMR and autism. They simply show that a link between ongoin...

In a case-control study of 10 to 12-year-old children with either autism, special-educational needs, or normal development, the authors examined measles-antibody responses (plaque reduction neutralization assay) and the presence of measles virus in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction). The study apparently sought to identify autistic children relevant to the original MMR/a...

The article "Measles vaccination and antibody response in autism spectrum disorders" published in the Feb. 5, 2008 online edition of Archives of Diseases in Childhood is yet another example of the incestuous relationship between the medical profession and the vaccine manufacturers, and their collusion to avoid admitting that inoculations are causing the biggest epidemic the world has ever known; vaccine induced diseases, w...

This study doesn't clearly say if there were blood tests done on normal subjects and subjects with autism measuring whether the subjects with autism had elevated measles antibodies.(1)
Or if they tested to see whether subjects with autism tested positive for myelin basic protein antibodies.(2)
Vijendra Singh did both these types of blood tests and the subjects with autism had elevated measles antibodies...

Dear Editor,
Of the original 1770 Special Educational Needs (SEN)cases in this study [1] 255 were Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Of the 1770 735 dropped out, then a further 780 were excluded for reasons which are not transparent. 255 were left (a different 255 from before): some ASD, some just SEN but we do not know in what proportion. Then, exactly 100 were excluded because of inadequate blood tests. Of the...
