New Study: Hepatitis B Vaccine

Triples the Risk of Autism in Infant Boys

By Kirby on huffingtonpost.com

"The science is largely complete. Ten

epidemiological studies have shown MMR vaccine doesn't cause autism;

six have shown thimerosal doesn't cause autism."-- Dr. Offit,

"Autism's False Prophets"

"16 studies have shown no causal

association between vaccines and autism, and these studies carry weight

in the scientific industry."-- Dr. Snyderman, NBC Today Show

Medical Editor

Conventional wisdom holds that the

autism-vaccine question has been "asked and answered," and that at

least 16 large, well-constructed epidemiological studies have

thoroughly addressed and debunked any hypothesis that childhood

vaccination is in any way associated with an increased risk for autism

spectrum disorders.

But there are several critical flaws in

such an oversimplified generalization, and they are rarely given close

examination by public health experts or members of the media.

To begin with, it is unscientific and

perilously misleading for anyone to assert that "vaccines and autism"

have been studied and that no link has been found. That's because the

16 or so studies constantly cited by critics of the hypothesis have

examined just one vaccine and one vaccine ingredient.

And, the population studies themselves

have had critical design flaws and limitations.

The current US childhood immunization

schedule calls for 28 injections with 11 different vaccines against 15

different diseases by two years of age. Of those 11 vaccines, only the

Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) shot has been studied in association with

autism, (although a CDC study of an MMR-plus-chickenpox vaccine did

show that the risk for febrile seizures in infants was doubled.)

Meanwhile, those 11 vaccines contain scores of ingredients, only one of

which, thimerosal, has ever been tested in association with autism.

It is illogical to exonerate all

vaccines, all vaccine ingredients, and the total US vaccine program as

a whole, based solely on a handful of epidemiological studies of just

one vaccine and one vaccine ingredient. It is akin to claiming that

every form of animal protein is beneficial to people, when all you have

studied is fish.

Now, a new study has shown that giving

Hepatitis B vaccine to newborn baby boys may triple the risk of

developing an autism spectrum disorder.

An abstract of the study was published

in the September, 2009 issue of the respected journal ls of

Epidemiology. In it, Carolyn Gallagher and Melody Goodman of the

Graduate Program in Public Health at Stony Brook University Medical

Center,
