An old\u00a0video<\/a>\u00a0featuring Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carey is again circulating. In it, they assert that\u00a0the<\/span> vaccine schedule tripled in 1990, causing a surge of autism.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”The Facts:” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text css=””]\u201cToo\u00a0Many,\u00a0Too\u00a0Soon\u201d is not a new claim, and it is a claim that has been studied. Vaccine\u00a0hesitant\u00a0parents often misunderstand that\u00a0vaccines are tested alongside other vaccines<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0current schedule to be sure they are safe and effective when given with other vaccines.<\/p>\n

And while\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0vaccine schedule has increased over\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0decades (though not really at all over\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0last decade), so have\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0number of diseases we can prevent through vaccination and our scientific refinement of vaccines. In\u00a0fact<\/span>,\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0number of antigens<\/a>\u00a0in vaccines has decreased.<\/p>\n

The<\/span>\u00a0reasons<\/a>\u00a0for\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0rise in autism rates\u00a0are multi-faceted: changes in\u00a0diagnostic criteria<\/a>, increased\u00a0awareness<\/a>,\u00a0educational\u00a0<\/a>changes, and lowered\u00a0rates\u00a0of\u00a0intellectual disability<\/a>\u00a0account for most of\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0rising\u00a0rates.\u00a0Biological risk factors<\/a>\u00a0such as father\u2019s age and premature birth could also account for a rise in some incidence of\u00a0autism.<\/p>\n

And there\u2019s\u00a0plenty of evidence<\/a>\u00a0that\u00a0vaccines\u00a0do not cause\u00a0autism. Not\u00a0only<\/span>\u00a0do\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0studies done to date show\u00a0vaccines\u00a0are not in any way linked to\u00a0autism, but\u00a0studies<\/a>\u00a0indicate disorganization of\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0prefrontal cortex in\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0brains of\u00a0autistic\u00a0people, linked to development in\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0womb. Of all\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0risk factors<\/a>\u00a0in developing\u00a0autism, we know genetics looks\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0most likely and being\u00a0vaccinated\u00a0is not among them.<\/p>\n

Finally,\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0vaccine schedule was reviewed by\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0Institute of Medicine. That\u00a0committee found no safety concerns<\/a>\u00a0with adherence to\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0CDC-recommended vaccine schedule.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
