INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Recorded sources

0 sources for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the MMR vaccine causes stomach pain in children?

Unclear. Two authoritative safety references (CDC and a peer-reviewed review) list MMR's recognized side effects and demonstrated adverse event (ITP) without including stomach pain, but neither directly studies or rules out stomach pain as an outcome.
