Those are interesting statistics...bear in mind that MMR was introduced in the UK in 1988; see how deaths had been steadily dropping before it was introduced.
Yes but the first measles vaccine was introduced to the UK in the 60's and that's when deaths started dropping. The uptake wasn't as high as it is now so decline wasn't as rapid interestingly as you point out when there was wide uptake following the instruction of MMR the death rate dropped to near zero rates we see today
If instances of autism were charted next to the measles figures, you would see an exponential increase from 1988 from less than 1/10,000 to 1/100
It's for everyone to decide if there is a link.
When the MMR scare happened many different studies looked at the numbers in great detail. when you look objectively at it kids who had the vaccine against those who didn't there is
no significant difference in autism numbers this was categorically proven.
Why has there been a increase in the number of cases autism there could be any number of reasons all these are just pure speculation.
Increase in the numbers of people taking recreational drugs either before they realised they were pregnant or sadly irrespective of the fact. Autism is most likey developed when are brains are being developed in the womb anything that interferes with this can only be bad.
The way the modern family is made up Kids have far less siblings these days so there's less social interaction with other kids.
Kids are often plumped in front of the TV as a babysitter keep them quiet.
Mums are not respected for choosing to stay at and look after their kids for me the most important job in the world. In fact they often encouraged / forced due to economic reasons to do the exact opposite. While child minders and such may keep your kid safe they are not going to be a vested in giving the same attention a loving parent might.
The vast proliferation of electromagnetic frequencies,were all subjected to in modern life radio, satellite, mobile, wi-fi etc. we don't think there harmful but the jury's out on the long term effects.
Finally as there's no physical diagnosis carried out and it often just the subjective view of an educational psychologist so miss diagnosis / over diagnosis just to give themselves a living could come into play. Its not just Big Pharma who are looking to make money.
As you say its a spectrum and there are people who find it hard to function in the world. I see this as a far different disorder to kids who like myself were shy at school and took a little longer to get stuck in now a days kids like this are labelled with autism or Asperger's at the drop of a hat.
All of the above is just speculation theirs no evidence that I'm aware of to support any of it.
What there is however is cold hard evidence that categorically disproves any link between MMR and autism
