Chris Exley, who says aluminium in vaccines may cause autism, has raised more than £22,000A British professor who has claimed that aluminium in vaccines is linked to autism has raised more than £22,000 to support his work through a Keele University online donations portal, the Guardian can reveal. The research was part-funded by a grant from the Children’s Medical Safety Research Institute, a US-based organisation that challenges vaccine safety. This is the nature of a donation as compared to a grant.”Exley is group leader of the Birchall Centre at Keele University, which researches the role of metals in biology and materials science. Keele University reviewed its own funding arrangements for Exley and has since created a new donation system with “a higher degree of transparency”. In a statement, Keele University said: “Whilst we have processes to ensure that all university research is performed under strict ethical procedures, this does not necessarily mean that the personal views of academics when interpreting their research represent the views of the institution as a whole.”
