Landmark study hopes to end 'the anti-vax myth'

A major study has ruled out any link between the mumps, measles, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism. The link was claimed following a paper, published 20 years ago but long since retracted, which tried to suggest vaccines were unsafe. Researchers hope this study will mark the end of the ‘anti-vax myth’.
