Oh, so now animal studies are not relevant…at least when they provide evidence against vaccines.  - SM

  1. How convincing are Dr. Classen's findings?

    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.
