...While seemingly unrelated, the Iowa outbreak renewed the debate about whether there was a link between the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine and autism, a developmental disease resulting from a disorder of the central nervous system. In 1998 a smallish study of 12 autistic children raised questions about a connection, but subsequent studies have cast doubt on any relationship between the vaccine and autism, which, according to the National Institute of Health, affects 2-6 children per 1000.
