SHERYL ATTKISSON ON VACCINE POLICY
 President Trump breathed new life into an old controversy when he
recently suggested he might form an independent scientific commission to
investigate vaccine safety. He discussed that possibility with Robert
F. Kennedy, Jr. Kennedy was in Washington, DC this week pressing forward
with his own vaccine safety effort, and was joined by other advocates,
including Academy Award winner Robert De Niro. Environmental lawyer
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. briefed members of Congress on Capitol Hill,
pushing them to investigate an untouchable subject—the safety of
vaccines.
 Study Links Vaccines to Neuropsychiatric Disorders

A recent study by researchers from Pennsylvania State University and
the Yale University’s Child Study Center found that patients diagnosed
as having neuropsychiatric disorders such as “obsessive–compulsive
disorder (OCD), anorexia nervosa (AN), anxiety disorder, chronic tic
disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), major
depressive disorder, and bipolar disorder” were more likely to have been
vaccinated three months before they were diagnosed.1

The study, which analyzed private health insurance data on more than
95,000 children ages 6-15 years collected from January 2002 to December
2007, was published in the peer-reviewed journal Frontiers in Psychiatry on Jan. 19, 2017.1

According to the authors of the study, “This pilot epidemiologic
analysis implies that the onset of some neuropsychiatric disorders may
be temporally related to prior vaccinations in a subset of individuals.
These findings warrant further investigation, but do not prove a causal
role of antecedent infections or vaccinations in the pathoetiology of
these conditions. “1

Among the specific findings of the study were that vaccinated
children were 80 percent more likely to be diagnosed as having anorexia
and 25 percent more likely to be diagnosed with OCD than unvaccinated
children. Children who had been vaccinated were also more likely to be
diagnosed as having an anxiety disorder than unvaccinated children.2

The influenza vaccine, in particular, correlated with higher rates of OCD, anorexia, anxiety disorder, and tic disorder.3

According to professor of pediatrics at the Yale School of Medicine James F. Leckman, MD, who was a co-author of the study, “There’s
a fair amount of interest in the vaccine safety question, so let’s try
to be critical and do further studies that will help examine this issue
in a more thorough way.”3
