Childhood Vaccine Combinations, Febrile Seizures, Nascent Autism Spectrum Disorder: Dr McCullough

Healthy and Awake Podcast interviewed Dr Peter McCullough who is concerned over the rapidly expanding list of childhood vaccines with many given in combination on the same clinic visit. McCullough says if a child gets sick the night after a battery of vaccines a range of serious outcomes can occur including sudden infant death syndrome and febrile seizures. If a febrile seizure occurs, it is not always benign. McCullough cited evidence that if a febrile seizure occurs there is a 40% chance the child will develop a neuropsychiatric disorder including autism spectrum disorder.
