How convincing are Dr. Classen's findings?
Oh, so now animal studies are not relevant at least when
they provide evidence against vaccines.- SM
Dr. Classen's results are not consistent with current scientific thinking
and have not been verified by other researchers.
Trying to apply findings from laboratory animals to humans is fraught with
uncertainty. Findings that are noted in animals cannot be directly applied
to people because of the large biological differences. Comparison of
diabetes rates between countries with different vaccination policies also
provides weak evidence because many factors, including different
vaccination schedules, may differ by country. Many factors, including
genetic predisposition and a number of possible environmental exposures
unrelated to vaccines, may influence the development of diabetes in
different countries.
