Website censured over MMR claims

A WEBSITE offering parents advice on childhood immunisation has been ordered to remove information about the MMR vaccine after renewing claims it could be linked to autism.

Babyjabs.co.uk said the vaccine "could cause autism in up to 10% of autistic children in the UK". It also said: "Most experts agree the large rise [in autism] has been caused partly by increased diagnosis, but also by a real increase in the number of children with autism."
