Cross-sectional analysis of NHIS 1997-2002 parental reports: boys vaccinated against hepatitis B as neonates had higher odds of a parent-reported autism diagnosis (OR ~2.94). This — not a mortality finding — is the real study behind the book's '3x' figure, which the book misstates as death. RETRACTED: 'Statement of Retraction' J Toxicol Environ Health A. 2026;89(22):1031, doi:10.1080/15287394.2026.2673183, Epub 2026 May 21 (PMID 42166532).
