Question: Mrr vacine question ???
Answers:
There was a lot of controversy around the Measles Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine following the publication of a research paper by a GP with claims it was linked to the development of autistic spectrum disorders. The research was of a very small scale, the findings have been since discredited by a number of further studies that have found the vaccine to be:
A) completely safe
B) cost effective, crucially saving the NHS valuable resources in a system where everything is stretched to its limit
The GP who published the original research was also found to have links (financial links?) with the pharmaceutical company that produced the individual vaccines, and therefore stood to make a lot of money if the combined vaccine was found to be unsafe.
The take home message is that there is currently no evidence, even in light of excessive research, that indicates the combined MMR vaccine causes any autistic or any other personality/cognitive changes.

Your mother is looking for something to blame. It's nothing to do with the vaccine.
Perhaps she needs to look at her parenting.
