MMR Vaccination and Autism Unfounded
Commentary Actress Jenny McCarthy and the rest of the anti-vaccination movement members (AVM) may not like to hear this particular fact: no evidence exists to verify the link between MMR vaccines and autism. In fact, in the minds of many scientists, researchers and special educators, this accusation has been proven wrong and many have moved on to other possible causes. Genetics and environmental factors are being sought as possible causes while the MMR/autism link has been rightfully discarded.

Understanding the generational differences. How attitudes to risk taking, have changed As a young man (born 1942 so talking about years 1958 to 1970,) Myself, and all my circle of friends, associates and acquaintances, had a drug of choice – not need dealers or injections It was adrenaline—although most of us could not spell it or understand enough about body chemistry to explain it— any and everything with some element of danger was what we sought and loved. Narcotics were very rarely available or even known about. Alcohol was consumed in pubs only and they had legally limited hours of operation. This did not stop extended hours by claiming a “market day” or simply hoping the police did not notice late night drinking. For the benefit of city people, rural market towns in England, often have local laws where pubs could stay open all day on market day, since it was in these pubs that agricultural deals and business was done. Market day in a rural setting was primarily where cattle and other livestock were bought and sold. Laws were generally respected, but their application was tempered with tolerance and if no actual harm was done, then a warning from a local copper was enough. No paper work, no court, no lawyers ever involved.
