00:00I'm the chair of the Children's Health Defense, a non-profit organization, an organization

00:17that has believed that vaccines are an attributing cause of autism, despite many studies on hundreds

00:28of thousands of children showing otherwise, with the exception of studies done by frauds

00:33like Andrew Wakefield with a handful of subjects, whereas with studies with hundreds of thousands

00:40of subjects, they find no correlation at all to autism.

00:44Do you still agree with the claims by Children's Health Defense, or have you distanced themselves

00:50now, or do you, being the chair of the Health and Human Services for the U.S., now maybe

00:58are more educated on that and do not believe that anymore?

01:04I believe, what I've always believed, is that we need to study the cause of autism.

01:11Now, you say that autism has, in fact, the potential for vaccines to cause autism has been studied.

01:22In fact, only one vaccine has ever been studied, the MMR vaccine.

01:27The seven, the 20 doses of the seven vaccines that are given during the first year of life,

01:34the DTP, the hepatitis B, the pneumococcal vaccines, and the polio vaccines, have never been studied.

01:45And in fact, Congress, when it passed the 1986 Vaccine Act, said, you've got to study the DTP vaccine.

01:54He directed the HHS secretary to study the DTP vaccine to see whether or not it's caused autism.

02:01That study in, so that was 86, it's now 25, so that's what, that's 40 years ago?

02:1340 years ago, and those studies have never been done.

02:16The only studies that were done were MMR studies, and they were all epidemiological studies,

02:22which is not, you can't prove causation with an epidemiological study anyway.

02:27And in 2017, the Institute of Medicine looked at all of the MMR studies,

02:34and they threw out all but four of them.

02:37So, and the four that were left were all epidemiological studies,

02:41and none of them did what you would want to do if you actually wanted the answer,

02:46which is to compare health outcomes in a vaccine.

02:57All right.
