What the news isn't saying about vaccine-autism studies

(NaturalNews) [The following is a news analysis and commentary] A
new study this week found no link between vaccines and autism. It
instantly made headlines on TV news and popular media everywhere. Many
billed it as the final word, "once again," disproving the notion that
vaccines could have anything to do with autism. (Story by Sharyl
Attkisson, republished from SharylAttkisson.com.)

What
you didn't learn on the news was that the study was from a consulting
firm that lists major vaccine makers among its clients: The Lewin Group.

That
potential conflict of interest was not disclosed in the paper published
in The New England Journal of Medicine; the study authors simply
declare "The Lewin Group operates with editorial independence."

(As
an aside, according to OpenSecrets.org, The Lewin Group's parent
company, UnitedHealth Group, is a key government partner in Obamacare.
Its subsidiary QSSI was given the contract to build the federal
government's HealthCare.gov website. One of its top executives and his
family are top Obama donors.)

Conflicts of interest alone do not
invalidate a study. But they serve as important context in the
relentless effort by pharmaceutical interests and their government
partners to discredit the many scientists and studies that have found
possible vaccine-autism links.
