Shocking news!

Number Of Early Childhood Vaccines Not Linked To Autism
A large new government study should reassure parents who are afraid that kids are getting autism because they receive too many vaccines too early in life.

The study, by researchers at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, found no connection between the number of vaccines a child received and his or her risk of autism spectrum disorder. It also found that even though kids are getting more vaccines these days, those vaccines contain many fewer of the substances that provoke an immune response.

The study offers a response to vaccine skeptics who have suggested that getting too many vaccines on one day or in the first two years of life may lead to autism, says Frank DeStefano, director of the Immunization Safety Office of the CDC.

I would have never guessed this. I mean there are 999 other studies that pretty much say the same thing. But of course what does the CDC know? They are all shills anyway.
So someone want to post this in Health?
