Anders Hviid, a professor and department head of epidemiology at the Statens Serum Institut and one of the study authors, told MedPage Today that the results “provide robust evidence supporting the safety of childhood vaccines.” “This is evidence that parents, clinicians, and public health officials need to make the best choices for the health of our children,” Hviid said. In a press release, Hviid called the results “reassuring” and said large studies like his are important in “an era marked by widespread misinformation about vaccines.” However, corrected data added after the study’s original publication date show the authors got it wrong, according to Hooker and Jablonowski, who reviewed the study and the corrected data. They concluded that the data in the study of 1.2 million children clearly indicate a link between aluminum in vaccines and autism. Corrected data show link between vaccines and autism On July 17, 2025, the Annals of Internal Medicine added a disclaimer to the Danish study, stating that it “included an incorrect version of the Supplementary Material at the time of initial publication.” The updated materials are available with the link to the study at “Correction: Aluminum-Adsorbed Vaccines and Chronic Diseases in Childhood.” Jablonowski said in an earlier interview, “According to the corrected data, nearly 10 (9.7) of every 10,000 children who were vaccinated with a higher dose of aluminum (compared to a moderate dose) developed a neurodevelopmental disorder — mostly autism — between ages 2 and 5.” The day before the study was published and three days before the journal issued a correction, Hviid told numerous media outlets that the study showed aluminum in vaccines does not cause autism. Hooker suggested that the Danish authors may have been more inclined to produce results favoring vaccination, given that they work at the Statens Serum Institut, a research institution with a history of producing vaccines. For instance, Hooker said, “The paper’s analysis really had no ‘zero exposure’ control group. Instead, like most industry ‘bought’ studies, it looked at exposure to ‘some’ aluminum salts versus exposure to a ‘little more’ aluminum salts.” Hviid reported funding from the Novo Nordisk Foundation, linked to pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/danish-study-claim-aluminum-vaccines-safe-chd-scientists-call-for-retraction/?utm_source=cc&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=defender&utm_id=20260826
