Documenting Hope founder says antibiotics correlate most strongly with childhood illness

Beth Lambert, founder of US nonprofit Documenting Hope, says data from the group’s “Chirp Study” found antibiotics were the category of exposure most tightly correlated with worse childhood health outcomes, including eczema, asthma, ADHD and autism. She also says chemical exposures and vaccines, as aggregated categories, correlate with worse outcomes, while arguing no single factor should be treated as a “smoking gun”.
