In today's health matters, scientists who've reviewed more than a thousand studies say vaccines don't cause autism or type one diabetes .And rarely do they have serious side effects.
The researchers are from the institute of medicine, part of the national academy of sciences, a private, non-profit organization which advises the federal government.
Some parents suspect vaccines caused autism in their children, but the scientists say there's no evidence of that.
The same for diabetes. The scientists looked at eight common vaccines, including those for Measles, Mumps, and Rubella, Chicken Pox and Flu.
The government commissioned the study to help guide the vaccine injury compensation program.
The program provides a pool of money to take care of children who experience serious side effects from vaccines.

A government study is not a study: it's just more of the same nonsense that has been going on for over 2 decades. Of course they will say vaccines are safe. Otherwise, the vaccine program that they and the drug companies work so hard to maintain, will be destroyed. Then we have the media which reports in agreement everything the government studies say. Pathetic. Yes, let's have that vax vs unvaxed study NOW. Maurine Meleck, SC
Dozens of studies have looked for, and found no association between vaccines and autism. It's time to move on.
How pathetic we have become at the IOM, we do a study and blabber about the safety of vaccines only to mislead everyone including the easily misled media,including the vaccine court which has compensated many with autism, and like symptoms which fails to do research on its own, other then the copy and paste type. Nice job, the only problem is people are watching, and in every area.
