POLAND, G. A. (2011). MMR Vaccine and Autism: Vaccine Nihilism and Postmodern Science. Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 86(9), 869-871. doi: 10.4065/mcp.2011.0467
Dr. Gregory Poland is the chair director of Mayo Clinic Vaccine Research Group. The article focuses on the misconception created in the mind of public regarding the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine. The author states that there is no credible scientific evidence that the MMR vaccine causes autism and offers information on the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). The author notes the role of the media in creating confusion among the public and states that there must be responsible reporting of information. This journal interested me to find out the relationship between vaccine and Autism. Even though it may be proved no connection recently, I still would like to try to study more resources about the argument. Another aspect I interested is about the social role of a scientist which may has huge influence on all over the world.
