It’s all unravelling badly for our health guardians who have been trying their upmost to convince us that the MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccine is perfectly safe. In the past few weeks we’ve heard from the US that a court has awarded substantial damages to a family whose child developed autism after being vaccinated, and this week ...

A new study, prepared by the prestigious autism research team at Cambridge University, suggests that autism could afflict one in 58 children in the UK - and there's ...
