hello professor, i was just wondering if you personally thought there was a link with the MMR and encephalitis, my brother got his MMR and within 12 hours he had encaphalitis and as a result ended up with grand mal epilepsy, do you think this is connected?

Dear ~no2bump~

Thank you for your question. Given that your brother had encephalitis within 12 hours of MMR that really is much too quick to be caused by the viruses in the MMR vaccine. They do take much longer to replicate and cause symptoms so I do not think his epilepsy is likely to be connected with the vaccination.
