Vaccines Tidbit

Interesting bit of information from Berkeley Wellness newsletter.

"About one in four parents still believe that some vaccines can cause autism in children, a recent survey in the journal Pediatrics found. In addition, one in nine said they had refused at least one recommended vaccine for their children. There is no scientific support for the notion that vaccines cause autism. In fact, the British journal 'The Lancet' recently retracted the controversial 1998  study that first set off widespread fears about a vaccine /autism link because the study was seriously flawed and made false claims. Moreover, it was later discovered that the lead author had been paid by a lawyer suing vaccine makers!"

Always check with your doctor.
