Between February and April 2004, I completed the same analysis as that used in the CDC’s Destefano et al. 2004 study, mirroring the initial protocol, and came to the same research conclusion of the CDC. My study shows a vaccine autism connection in African American boys when they received the MMR vaccine before 36 months versus those boys who received the MMR vaccine after 36 months.

CDC internal reports for this study show that they reached the same conclusion. The difference between my findings and the CDC’s is they chose not to report the connection and instead stand by their published findings where data from African Americans without birth certificates were removed. This reduction of the sample size skewed the outcome to favor the CDC’s desired results to discount any vaccine-autism connection. The reduction was contrary to the agreed upon study protocol that stated, “The only variable available to be assessed as a potential confounder using the entire sample is child’s race.”
