Christopher Exley is an English chemist known for his research on the health effects of aluminium exposure. He was Professor of Bioinorganic Chemistry and group leader of the Bioinorganic Chemistry Laboratory at Keele University.
He published the research finding that Carole Cross, a woman who died from
More recently he has become known for research[7] claiming to link aluminium adjuvants in vaccines with autism. This work, some of which was paid for by unacknowledged donations from anti-vaccine group Children's Medical Safety Research Institute and some of which has subsequently been retracted,[8] has led to him losing research funding.[9] However, in February 2021, The Guardian reported that during the COVID-19 pandemic Exley had received over £150,000 to support his research through Keele University's donations portal.[10] There is no evidence of any link, causal or otherwise, between vaccines and autism.[11]
