En forsker fra USA hevder å ha funnet det første klare bevis på at MMR-vaksinen har sammenheng med autisme.
Professor Vijendra Singh, som leder forskningen på immunologiavdelingen ved Utah State University, sier vaksinen skaper en fysisk reaksjon som ødelegger visse protein i hjernen. Dette kan føre til autisme.
I Norge får barn MMR-vaksinen, som virker mot kusma, meslinger og røde hunder, i løpet av sine to første leveår.
Først oppdaget i 1995
Linken mellom vaksinen og lidelsen ble først belyst i 1995 av et team ved Royal Free Hospital i London. Likevel har spesialister sagt at det ikke har foreligget noe ordentlig bevis som kunne bekrefte en slik sammenheng.
Professor Singh la fram sine forskningsresultater på en internasjonal vaksinekongress i Washington. Laboratorieanalyser viste at halvparten av blodprøvene tatt fra 80 autistiske barn inneholdt antistoffer assosiert med MMR-vaksine. Slike antistoffer ble ikke funnet hos kontrollgruppen, som besto av 60 friske barn.
Bevis
"Denne studien bidrar med det første laboratoriebaserte bevis for en mulig sammenheng mellom MMR og autisme. Det impliserer auto-immumitet hos autister som i mange tilfeller stammer fra en vaksineskade, " sier Singh.
Kampanjegruppen JABS (Justice Awareness and Basic Support) er glade for Singhs forskningsresultater. Koordinator Jackie Fletcher sier "en hel del forskerteam konkluderer med det samme. Likevel påstår Helsedepartementet at vaksinen ikke medfører problemer."
Sist uke advarte den amerikanske regjeringen mot en meslingepidemi fordi færre barn er blitt vaksinert...
