Measles-mumps-rubella vaccination timing and autism among young african american boys: a reanalysis of CDC data
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
This retracted study claimed a link between MMR vaccine timing and autism in African American boys, but it had major flaws, including potential misclassification of controls (some might have later been diagnosed with autism) and lack of control for socioeconomic factors and other vaccinations. Furthermore, the study is based on a reanalysis of a dataset that did not find a statistically significant relationship in their initial review.
