Does this Study Disprove an MMR-Autism Link? with Jeremy Hammond
Description
In 2019, a study from Denmark by Hviid, et al, purported to demonstrate that there was no link between the MMR vaccine and autism, even among genetically susceptible populations.
The study was strongly critiqued at the time, and now, journalist Jeremy R. Hammond, along with Dr. Brian Hooker and Dr. Jeet Varia, has published a paper that addresses the serious flaws in Hviid et al, in the Journal of Biotechnology and Biomedicine.
I talk with Jeremy about Hviid et al, and about his own paper, and about the state of research into the connection between vaccines and autism more broadly.

This article summarizes key points from Jeremy's paper:
I discussed medical licensing with Jeremy here.
Jeremy exposes the WaPo’s Lena Sun here.
...and the AAP’s “vaccines do not cause autism” claim, here.
Jeremy's book, "The War on Informed Consent" is one of the most concise and informative works on the suppression of science and discussion regarding vaccines.
