Web MD Author admits to error re: vaccinated vs. unvaccinated

[Guest guest]

.... " The 2004 IOM review included five large-scale studies that

compared

autism rates in vaccinated and unvaccinated children. These and other

recent studies, including one published in TheNew England Journal of

Medicine in September 2007, have shown that children who received

vaccines with thimerosal are not more likely to have been diagnosed

with autism than those that weren't vaccinated or received less

thimerosal from vaccines. "

Dear Mr. xxxxxxxx,

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I have notified my

editor of my error. The studies I referred to actually looked at how

much thimerosal children got from vaccines. These included some

children who received no thimerosal, but they did not look at

vaccinated vs. unvaccinated children per se.

Best regards,
