A Clash Over Vaccine Research

A health organization in Detroit is in a legal tussle with a group from Texas. The group is accused of spreading false information about a study on vaccines and kids. The health group, Henry Ford Health, says the study was flawed and should not have been shared. They sent a legal notice to the group, ICAN, asking them to remove the false claims. ICAN made a movie called "An Inconvenient Study. " The movie claims that vaccinated kids are more likely to get sick than unvaccinated ones. It also says Henry Ford Health hid the results of their study. But Henry Ford Health says the study was not good enough to be shared. They say the person who led the study did not even know much about epidemiology. The study looked at 18, 000 kids. But the health group says the study was not done right. They say the kids in the study were not chosen fairly. Also, the study did not look at the kids for long enough to see if they got sick. Henry Ford Health says the study was so bad that no good journal would have accepted it. ICAN is still sharing the false claims. They are even selling shirts and hats about the movie. Henry Ford Health says they will go to court if ICAN does not stop. They say ICAN is hurting their reputation. Henry Ford Health says they always stand by science. They say they did not hide any information. They just did not share a bad study. They want people to know the truth about vaccines and kids.
