Ubiquiton: *Note the Cochrane review looked at “five randomised controlled trials (RCTs), one controlled clinical trial (CCT), 27 cohort studies, 17 case-control studies, five time-series trials, one case cross-over trial, two ecological studies, six self controlled case series studies involving in all about 14,700,000 children and assessing effectiveness and safety of MMR vaccine”
Ubiquiton, the source you quoted says that MMR is effective in preventing Measles, LESS so for Mumps.
But YOUR source also says the MMR was NOT ADEQUATELY SAFETY TESTED – see the Conclusion:
AUTHORS’ CONCLUSIONS:
The design and reporting of safety outcomes in MMR vaccine studies, both pre- and post-marketing, are largely inadequate. The evidence of adverse events following immunisation with the MMR vaccine cannot be separated from its role in preventing the target diseases.
Ubiquiton, YOUR source says that MMR safety tests found SIGNIFICANT RISK of Febrile SEIZURES,
Meningitis and thrombocytopenic purpura!
