Subject: Re: [healthfraud] MMR in Japan - with graph


OK, I will be more exact this time:

We have 4 different factors:

Factor 1: MMR discontinued
Factor 2: Measles vaccine introduced
Factor 3: Mumps vaccine introduced
Factor 4: Rubella vaccine introduced


Here are 7 examples where those 4 factors could produce the same graph, while MMR could still be the causative factor in Autism:


Example 1: MMR is the causative factor and Measles vaccine is causative factor
Example 2: MMR is the causative factor and Mumps vaccine is causative factor
Example 3: MMR is the causative factor and Rubella vaccine is causative factor
Example 4: MMR is the causative factor and Measles and Mumps vaccines are causative factors
Example 5: MMR is the causative factor and Measles and Rubella vaccines are causative factors
Example 6: MMR is the causative factor and Mumps and Rubella vaccines are causative factors
Example 7: MMR is the causative factor and Measles and Mumps and Rubella vaccines are causative factors



Researches, after presenting data, made conclusion:


"This destroys any possible causative link between use of MMR vaccine and autism."



I say:
Data presented does not support this kind of conclusions. Sorry to burst your bobble.


Message to the Members of the list:
Contact researches, and tell them that they are wrong.
At best, their data are making it less probable, but they are far cry from exact proof.

Sorry to be devils advocate, but study is only comparing differences between the possible effects of triple MMR versus single M+M+R.
Sorry, but some conclusions are stepping outside data.


This study is only showing that incidence of Autism was higher after triple was replaced with 3 single. That is all what this graph is showing. Nothing else and nothing more.
No other conclusions can be made from this kind of data, cause we have 2 different factors that changed at the same time.


Factor one: MMR discontinued.
