But what if there was a very rare gene that reacted badly to the MMR vaccine?
Wouldn't it be better to research that in order to eventually be able to screen children before giving them the 3 in 1 shot?
Those who tested positive for that gene could instead be given the separate shots spread over the previously used time frame.
Pretty much like Andrew Wakefield was recommending.

Why and who would spend the billions be spent trying to find a "hypothetical gene" that is not causing any problems...
When you go down the line of genetic testing for rare genes that are 1 per 1,000,000,000 people you will eventually get Gattaca. Yeah nah...
What are these "links" you are talking about?
You gave me a hypothetical gene, I gave you a hypothetical number based on a made up gene. There is across the board scientific consensus that there is no link between vaccination and autism. Why would doctors lie about such a thing when they would be the first ones to see such cases and "links"?
As someone mentioned earlier, correlation does not equal causation either.
And yet there's never been any research to confirm a link between MMR and autism. The "study" carried out by Wakefield (which conspiracy theorists cling to like drowning men) has been shown to be flawed, skewed - and fraudulent.
The anti-vaccine brigade needs to put up, or shut up. The "just maybe" approach doesn't cut it.

All you need now is a uniform.
(I'm sure you can adapt the punchline).
I've heard... but all these people never seem to actually explain the "link", what it is based on, how statistically significant it is, the etiology, then the evidence.
Instead the majority base their argument on hearing of one discredited article.
By virtue of this argument I could put forward that with this paper http://img2.timg.co.il/CommunaFiles/50575890.pdf there is a link to vaccinations actually decreasing the occurrence of autism.![]()
