Unless a doctor SPECIALLY diagnosed that the vaccine caused the autism then you are falsely correlating a bad event to an unrelated event. The MMR vaccine DOESN'T cause autism, there is no confirmed link. Your anecdotal evidence is just that. Anecdotal.
So the condition my brother was left in was diagnosed as Severe Autism ... The specialists words not mine
As far as anecdotal is concerned ... I have relayed facts only ... and to repeat
At 18 months my brother a normal developing child was given the MMR shot
Later the same day he suffered convulsions ...
The manufacturer of the Vaccine Merck ... state that Fibril Convulsion can occur in a small percentage of cases
The convulsions rendered my brother vegetative and non responsive ... he was taken to various doctors and specialists to ascertain what had occurred ... they diagnosed Severe Autism

If he had already got Autism then why would he suddenly regress from being an alert and apparently normal child to become vegetative and unresponsive the same day as receiving the MMR shot
Are you saying it was mere co incidence
I'm interested to know if they said that MMR vaccination caused convulsions, caused autism? and let your family believe that the one event, caused the other event, or if they diagnosed as autistic after the convulsions because they were looking more closely. I also didn't realize that they could diagnose autism in children that young, thanks for the knowledge!
Regressive autism occurs when a child appears to develop typically but then starts to lose speech and social skills, typically between the ages of 15 and 30 months, and is subsequently diagnosed with autism.[1] Other terms used to describe regression in children with autism are autism with regression, autistic regression, setback-type autism, and acquired autistic syndrome.[2] There is no standard definition for regression,[2] and the prevalence of regression varies depending on the definition used.[3] Some children show a mixture of features, with some early delays and some later losses; and there is evidence of a continuous spectrum of behaviors, rather than a black-and-white distinction, between autism with and without regression.[3]
Regression in autism spectrum disorders is well documented; attribution of regression to environmental stress factors may result in a delay in diagnosis.[4] The apparent onset of regressive autism is surprising and distressing to parents, who often initially suspect severe hearing loss. The pattern of symptoms naturally leads many to suspect that postnatal environmental factors trigger autism. Although a rancorous controversy has escalated since the earliest reports of a possible link began to surface in the 1980s, no link has been found with vaccines.[6] There are also studies being done to test if certain types of regressive autism have an autoimmune basis.[1]
It may be possible that the seizures triggered the autism that was already within him. Instead of jumping to conclusions, you could have researched this.
So to sum up, you didn't have the ability to thoroughly research the cause and thus performed your own diagnosis in lieu of any evidence, just an appearance of correlation, and decided it was the vaccine. I imagine that you didn't jump to this conclusion until after the 90's had started (30 years later) and this conspiracy theory was starting to gain traction.
If this happened in the 60's then it wouldn't have been the MMR vaccine. It may have been one of the three that he received but the combination vaccine wasn't available until the 70's.
Or maybe someone who saw there baby girl change overnight after getting vaccinated can't be swayed by some jackass doing whatever theory using statistics a that can be swayed one way or another.

Six Month-Old Baby Dies Just Five Days After Receiving 13 Vaccines
Imagine being emotionally blackmailed by your doctor to have your baby vaccinated with a lethal cocktail of 13 vaccines, which included two doses of the DTaP, three doses of the oral rotavirus vaccine and two doses of the polio vaccination. It sounds impossible, doesn’t it?
However, this is exactly what happened to Alisa Neathery when she took her six month-old unvaccinated baby to the doctor for the first time.
