Study of potential link between aluminum in vaccines and asthma triggers misinformation

Emphasizing that the study does not show that aluminum in vaccines causes autism is recommended as is explaining that further research is needed to determine if there is a link between aluminum exposure and asthma. The study’s researchers acknowledge that because the study was observational, it cannot determine if the aluminum in vaccines causes asthma. Additionally, the analysis did not include information that may have influenced the findings, including family history of asthma or exposure to secondhand smoke, which can trigger asthma.
