They also found that vaccines were associated with ailments with a ridiculous level of significance for every single one of the nearly 100 conditions listed.<\/p>\n<p>Scientists don\u2019t take high risk ratios such as those at face value because they can often signal problems in the study, like mistakes in the research methods, biased data, or other factors that could skew the results, making the findings less reliable.<\/p>\n<p>One thing Hooker fails to take into consideration is\u00a0that infants receiving multiple vaccines might already be at higher risk for medical conditions due to underlying health issues, something he has done in the past.
