Pharma-Med-Gov syndicate fears gradual acknowledgement that the US childhood vaccination schedule is recklessly agressive. 48 doses of 16 different vaccines are administered to a child by age 6.
Some combine FIVE different vaccines in one shot!
Other peer first world nations have adopted a far more conservative vaccination schedule to reduce incidents of vaccine injury.
US National Institute of Health study confirms:

Abstract
The reason for the rapid rise of autism in the United States that began in the 1990s is a mystery. Although individuals probably have a genetic predisposition to develop autism, researchers suspect that one or more environmental triggers are also needed. One of those triggers might be the battery of vaccinations that young children receive. Using regression analysis and controlling for family income and ethnicity, the relationship between the proportion of children who received the recommended vaccines by age 2 years and the prevalence of autism (AUT) or speech or language impairment (SLI) in each U.S. state from 2001 and 2007 was determined. A positive and statistically significant relationship was found: The higher the proportion of children receiving recommended vaccinations, the higher was the prevalence of AUT or SLI. A 1% increase in vaccination was associated with an additional 680 children having AUT or SLI. Neither parental behavior nor access to care affected the results, since vaccination proportions were not significantly related (statistically) to any other disability or to the number of pediatricians in a U.S. state. The results suggest that although mercury has been removed from many vaccines, other culprits may link vaccines to autism. Further study into the relationship between vaccines and autism is warranted.

Exactly, get ready for the pro-vaxers in, three, two, one, last Vaccine I received was in 1969 when I joined the Marines,..64 tomorrow and I have been to a doctor 10 times in 64 years heh heh..
Some combine FIVE different vaccines in one shot!
Five vaccines combined in a single shot is a drop in the bucket when compared to the thousands of live microorganisms that a child encounters and against which the child's immune system mobilizes every single day. Furthermore, there is no chance that the vaccines will cause a disease--unlike the thousands of microorganisms the child encounters daily, many of which can cause very serious, even fatal, disease.

Unfortunately, only the abstract is available on PubMed. That said, all the abstract says is that there is a statistical correlation. That is extremely weak, and does not prove anything. Statistical correlations can be found between many sets of unrelated data, even when using the most stringent statistical methods. At the level of statistical significance that most researchers use, P < 0.05, one out of twenty statistical correlations is completely spurious. Furthermore, when someone is looking to associate two sets of data, they can play around with all kinds of parameters to eventually come up with a statistical correlation when more stringent methods don't show one.
In the most robust research, researchers devise carefully controlled experiments, designed to test every possibility, and only after they get results do they then apply the statistical analyses in order to validate the results. In good research, a statistical test is not used in lieu of actually doing studies. The author of that abstract is trying to promote a statistical correlation as the equivalent of careful study. I'm not surprised he has no co-authors--no self-respecting scientist would want their name connected to what is essentially garbage.
