That's the truth and Washington Post reporter Shankar Vedantam manages to ignore the fact that there is no correlation between vaccines and conditions on the autism spectrum.*
The author mentions that the new study contradicts a 1998 study by Andrew Wakefield, but ignores the fact that he was accused of, "suppressing and falsifying data", that his co-authors of this study have disavowed his reasearch, and at this time is under investigation for serious professional and financial misconduct.
He faces removal of his medical license as a result.
If there is any justice in the world, he will end up in to jail too.
*There is some dispute as to whether Aspergers is mild Autism, or a different condition on the Autism spectrum, a distinction which I would generally expect a reporter to miss.
