Yet another major study shows no link between measles vaccine and autism:

The study examined every child born in Denmark between 1999 and 2010, a group of more than 650,000.

The study found no increased risk of developing autism after getting the MMR vaccine, no clustering of autism cases among children who were given the vaccine, and no increase in the rate of autism among susceptible children who were given the vaccine.

The study is Annals of Internal Medicine: Measles, Mumps, Rubella Vaccination and Autism: A Nationwide Cohort Study Anders Hviid, Jørgen Vinsløv Hansen, Morten Frisch, Mads Melbye. DOI: 10.7326/M18-2101
