Nor does the article with respect to the anecdotes concerning autism.
They make no distinction between any vaccinations, merely talking of
vaccination, generally. And it includes such gems as :

"An office manager who has been with Homefirst for 17 years said she is

aware of only one case of severe asthma in an unvaccinated child." Oh,
well then.


These are unsupported anecdotes from a for-profit anti-vaccination (
and anti-medicine)organisation:


http://www.homefirst.com/Bio1.html,


written by the same person who came up with the disgracefully flawed
article on autism among the Amish.
