Medical professional confirms no link between childhood vaccination and autism
The head of the Pediatric Unit at the Mount St John’s Medical Centre (MSJMC) has made it clear that there is no link between childhood vaccination and the development of autism.
Dr Shivon Belle Jarvis made the declaration yesterday pointing to the decades-old myth among some people that there is an association between the measles, mumps and rubella vaccines and Autism Spectrum Disorder or (ASD).
“When you review the studies done at the time that showed a causation, there were flaws in the methodology. So, autism is no longer thought to be associated with vaccination,” Belle Jarvis said.
