Evidence (2022-07-19): This top-rated blood pressure monitor performs well and gives you the option of buying a larger cuff if you need one. Since the average cuff size only goes up to 17 inches, many people need and appreciate this option. Everything else about the monitor works quite well, and it features the most obvious blood pressure interpretation in the test, changing colors based on your hypertension score. [...] The iHealth Track Smart is one of the less expensive monitors in the test. It has respectable accuracy test results, an uncommon XL cuff size option, and average ease of use, making it a good buy if you need the larger cuff. If you don't, there are more accurate and easier-to-use options in this price range. We really appreciate that iHealth created a larger cuff option for their blood pressure monitor, making it an excellent option for anyone with larger arms. We do wish the user manual was easier to decipher, though. For those interested in checking their blood oxygen levels at home, we have also tested the best pulse oximeters.

Claim: Autism and vaccination decreased over the same time period among high-income white households from California, indicating a possible causal relationship (Toby Rogers, 2024-08-08)
Evidence (2024-08-08): Incorrect: The claim’s implication that reducing childhood vaccination is causally related to a fall in autism prevalence contradicts the wealth of studies that have shown vaccines don’t cause autism. Inadequate support: The claim didn’t provide data showing a decline in vaccination among high-income white families of California. The scientific study cited as supporting evidence in the claim doesn’t contain data related to vaccine coverage either.
Claim: Autism and vaccination decreased over the same time period among high-income white households from California, indicating a possible causal relationship (Toby Rogers, 2024-08-08)
Evidence (2015-10-13): Autism and vaccination: The value of the evidence base of a recent meta-analysis - PMID: 25724821 - DOI: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2015.02.002
Claim: Autism and vaccination decreased over the same time period among high-income white households from California, indicating a possible causal relationship (Toby Rogers, 2024-08-08)
Evidence (2018-03-26): Zerbo says the study was not designed to address why vaccination rates were lower among children with autism and their siblings. But previous studies in which scientists asked parents about their views on immunizations have found that some parents whose children had been diagnosed with the developmental disorder believed that the shots given to their young children played some role in their autism.
Claim: Autism and vaccination decreased over the same time period among high-income white households from California, indicating a possible causal relationship (Toby Rogers, 2024-08-08)
Evidence (2014-11-01): The reason for the rapid rise of autism in the United States that began in the 1990s is a mystery. Although individuals probably have a genetic predisposition to develop autism, researchers suspect that one or more environmental triggers are also needed. One of those triggers might be the battery of vaccinations that young children receive. Using regression analysis and controlling for family income and ethnicity, the relationship between the proportion of children who received the recommended vaccines by age 2 years and the prevalence of autism (AUT) or speech or language impairment (SLI) in each U.S. state from 2001 and 2007 was determined. A positive and statistically significant relationship was found: The higher the proportion of children receiving recommended vaccinations, the higher was the prevalence of AUT or SLI. A 1% increase in vaccination was associated with an additional 680 children having AUT or SLI. Neither parental behavior nor access to care affected the results, since vaccination proportions were not significantly related (statistically) to any other disability or to the number of pediatricians in a U.S. state. The results suggest that although mercury has been removed from many vaccines, other culprits may link vaccines to autism.
Claim: Autism and vaccination decreased over the same time period among high-income white households from California, indicating a possible causal relationship (Toby Rogers, 2024-08-08)
Evidence (2024-10-04): Rogers’ claim hinges on his statement that vaccine coverage in high-income white people from California decreased over the years since 2000, and that at the same time, ASD prevalence decreased in the same population. But as we explained above, the study by Nevison and Parker, didn’t provide data on vaccine coverage. Rogers didn’t provide such data either. We reached out to Rogers to ask for it. In his reply to our email, Rogers claimed Science Feedback was among "Stasi narrative check organizations", but provided no evidence to support his claim that vaccine coverage had declined in high-income white households in California. [...] In summary, Rogers’ claim that the level of childhood vaccination among high-income white families in California led to lower rates of ASD is unsubstantiated. Country-level data also doesn’t support the hypothesis of a nationwide decline in vaccination among high-income white families. Roger’s implication about a causal link between a decrease in vaccine coverage and a decline in ASD prevalence is unsubstantiated. The Nevison and Parker study used as supporting evidence did report that the prevalence of ASD declined among white families from richer California counties. However, the study didn’t include data on vaccine coverage and didn’t establish an association with vaccination. Rogers didn’t provide any other data on vaccine coverage either.
Claim: Autism and vaccination decreased over the same time period among high-income white households from California, indicating a possible causal relationship (Toby Rogers, 2024-08-08)
Evidence (2023-05-09): In California, statewide legislative and educational interventions were associated with a decrease in the yearly rates of kindergartners without up-to-date vaccination status. These interventions also were associated with reductions in the number of schools inside the clusters with high rates of kindergartners without up-to-date vaccination status and the potential for contact among these kindergartners. [...] California implemented Senate Bill 277 (SB277) in 2016, becoming the first state in nearly 30 years to eliminate nonmedical exemptions from immunization requirements for schoolchildren. Our objectives were to determine (1) the impacts of SB277 on the percentage of kindergarteners entering school not up-to-date on vaccinations and (2) if geographic patterns of vaccine refusal persisted after the implementation of the new law. At the state level, we analyzed the magnitude and composition of the population of kindergarteners not up-to-date on vaccinations before and after the implementation of SB277. We assessed correlations between previous geographic patterns of nonmedical exemptions and patterns of the remaining entry mechanisms for kindergarteners not up-to-date after the law’s implementation. In the first year after SB277 was implemented, the percentage of kindergartners entering school not up-to-date on vaccinations decreased from 7.15% to 4.42%. The conditional entrance rate fell from 4.43% to 1.91%, accounting for much of this decrease. Other entry mechanisms for students not up-to-date, including medical exemptions and exemptions for independent study or homeschooled students, largely replaced the decrease in the personal belief exemption rate from 2.37% to 0.56%.

Claim: Peanut allergies are caused by the peanut oil in vaccines (Matt Roeske, 2024-07-22)
Evidence (2024-07-22): Factually inaccurate: Peanut oil isn’t an ingredient in vaccines. Risk factors for peanut allergies are unclear, but are commonly linked to age, genetics, and history of other allergies—not consumption of peanut oil. Misleading: Peanut allergies and peanut oil allergies aren’t one in the same. Some people with peanut allergies may safely consume peanut oil, particularly if it’s the highly-refined variety used in cooking and frying. While peanut oil was used as a vaccine adjuvant ingredient in a clinical trial for an influenza vaccine in the 1960s, this vaccine wasn't approved for public use.
Claim: Peanut allergies are caused by the peanut oil in vaccines (Matt Roeske, 2024-07-22)
Evidence (2024-08-20): Peanut allergy is a condition that causes the body's germ-fighting immune system to react to peanuts. It's one of the most common causes of a life-threatening allergic reaction to food. This life-threatening reaction is known as anaphylaxis. [...] Peanut allergy is the most common cause of anaphylaxis due to food. This medical emergency requires treatment with an epinephrine autoinjector (EpiPen, Auvi-Q, others) and a trip to the emergency room. Epinephrine is a kind of adrenaline. [...] Peanut allergy occurs when the immune system flags peanut proteins as harmful. When exposed to peanuts, the immune system releases symptom-causing chemicals into the bloodstream. These chemicals cause an allergic reaction.
