The Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR vaccine) is one of the most effective and well-studied vaccines in the world, with a firmly established safety profile. Yet, a fraudulent 1998 study ignited a persistent myth linking MMR to autism, fueling waves of disinformation that refuse to die. Today, false claims about MMR threaten public health and put millions at risk. Here\u2019s what the science really says about MMR and Autism.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

MMR: Decades of Testing, Data, and Debunking the Zombie Myths<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine has been in use since 1971 and is one of the most widely studied vaccines. Over the decades, rigorous pre-licensure trials, large post-licensure studies, and systematic reviews from around the world have consistently affirmed its safety and effectiveness. Nonetheless, zombie myths persist \u2013 such as the baseless claim that MMR was \u201cnever tested against a placebo.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This post, chronologically reviews some of the key evidence from each decade, highlighting the study designs (randomised trials, observational studies, reviews) and data quality. I also address the placebo question by examining how vaccines are tested, including the famous Peltola <\/em>twin study, and why alternative trial designs are often used. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
