That's Meryl Dorey's claim, made September 22, 2011 on the Australian Vaccination Network Facebook page (image and link at the bottom of the post).
He also published a 'study' using computer modelling which purported to show that children can receive up to 100,000 vaccine antigens at one time without any ill effects.
WRONG! Dr. Offit published no such study. The "100,000 vaccines at one time" refers to a passage on page 174 of Deadly Choices, in which Dr. Offit refers to a 2006 study by Cohn and Langman. I will let you read his words yourself:
Cohn, M. and Langman, R. E. (1990), The Protection: The Unit of Humoral Immunity... Selected by Evolution. Immunological Reviews, 115: 7–147. doi: 10.1111/j.1600-065X.1990.tb00783.x http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1600-065X.1990.tb00783.x/abstract
Yet another example where Meryl Dorey mis-states the facts.
