The IOM (Institute of Medicine) – which is supposed to be the voice of the best and most scientific minds for any given medicine topic, has put together a report on the safety of childhood vaccines: http://www.iom.edu/~/media/Files/Report%20Files/2013/Childhood-Immunization-Schedule/ChildhoodImmunizationScheduleandSafety_RB.pdf
After reviewing this 100+ page report, I have come to the conclusion that, sadly, this group of very decorated physicians in the fields of immunology, infectious diseases, vaccines, and public health, must have a directive to find vaccines safe, or they are blinded by conflicts of interest. Given the hundreds of articles (published in reputable peer-reviewed journals that raise safety concerns) this panel looked at 37 articles and very clearly avoided mention of the many well done studies that show the toxicity of heavy metals like mercury and aluminum. They fail to acknowledge that formaldehyde (used in many vaccines) is a huge stimulant of the immune system and may well be a contributor to the many auto-immune diseases that we now see in modern times that were exceedingly rare 50 years ago. There is no mention of the fact that the rapid rise in diseases, like autism, ADD, ADHD, anxiety, MS, Diabetes, asthma, eczema, etc., seems to correlate with the expanded vaccine schedule and that possible associations should be considered. In fact, the IOM specifically states that we should NOT do studies looking at unvaccinated populations and compare them to vaccinated populations. They completely discount the fact that there now exist such families in quantities that would answer this question once and for all. It would just take the desire to know and funding to track that data.
