With regard to autism, check any or all of the following which are true? (See MMR & Autism and Review 8 in Vaccine Education Flipbook.)

We know that the MMR vaccine does not cause autism, because the developmental milestones affected in autism have already been met at the time the MMR vaccine is scheduled to be given.

11.

The hemophilus influenze (Hib) vaccine has done what? (See Delayed Vaccination in Vaccine Education Flipbook.)

True

False

13.

Which of the statements about mercury (thimerasol) is true? (See Mercury in Vaccines in Vaccine Education Flipbook.)

Thimerasol is a vaccine preservative that contains high amounts of methyl mercury.

Thimerasol is used to preserve all vaccines.

Industrial mercury is methyl mercury and is the cause for Minimata Disease.

Thimerasol is risky but required for all vaccines.

14.

Smallpox scabs were once collected for study prior to the WHO declaration that it had been eradicated. In 2014, six sealed samples samples of smallpox scabs, two with active virus, were found in a little-used cold storage room at the NIH (National Institute of Health). (See Smallpox Eradicated-continued in Vaccine Education Flipbook.)
