A very important statement from the US's pediatric autism experts, The Society for Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics, on this week's recent info on autism. It's a very important one for all parents to read, including parents of children with autism.

"Flawed studies and premature claims can promote false hope in families while also inducing *unnecessary* parental guilt and fear."

This specifically mentions the Harvard study which was cited at the press conference and which seems to be all over the internet now. We appreciate their evidence based and detailed information for us all.

Dr Beachgem is a popular poster on social media...lots of great advice from this peds ER doc. She is also a straight shooter, ......and the parent of a child with autism.

Another good post from a mom who understands the importance of evidence based science.

yes! And remember almost 90% of babies and kids hospitalized with flu and flu secondary infections like pneumonia, sepsis and meningitis did not have the vaccine. We vaccinate to avoid these serious complications especially.

"Don't let fear mongering replace evidence based medicine". Pretty much the theme of this year. Here's the latest....it's truly been like whack a mole trying to keep up which is why we are very grateful for groups like unbiasedscipod.

Some nice metaphors of watching the ACIP meeting from our friends at Unbiased Science Podcast. Seriously a good overview of what happened and what it means for your family and our group.

A summary of day two of ACIP:

We sadly wish we didn't have to post this but as always we will continue to follow evidence based scientific information thanks to The American Academy of Pediatrics. You wouldn't expect anything different from *your* pediatricians. Luckily the health insurance companies agree too.

Today’s meeting of the federal Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) promoted false claims and misguided information about vaccines as part of an unprecedented effort to limit access to routine childhood immunizations and sow fear and mistrust in vaccines.

Until we can again trust the recommendations made by our federal government, AAP will continue stepping up and working with our local, state and federal partners to make sure every child in every community continues to have access to immunizations.
