Originally, the recent still ongoing study compared unvaccinated children against a German national health survey conducted by KiGGS involving over 17,000 children up to age 19. This currently ongoing survey study was initiated by classical homoeopathist Andreas Bachmair.
However, the American connection for Bachmair's study can be found at VaccineInjury.info website that has added a link for parents of vaccinated children to participate in the study. So far this ongoing survey has well over 11,000 respondents, mostly from the U.S.A. Other studies have surveyed smaller groups of families.
Nevertheless, the results were similar. Of course, none of these studies were picked up by the MSM (mainstream media). None were funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or theWorld Health Organization (WHO) or any national or international health agency or medical profession group (http://healthimpactnews.com).
They don't dare compare the health of unvaccinated children to vaccinated children objectively and risk disrupting their vaxmania (vaccination mania). The focus for all the studies was mostly on childhood illnesses occurring as the children matured.
Dramatic, debilitating, or lethal vaccine injuries were not the focus since so few, five percent or less, actually get reported to VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Injury Reporting System) in the U.S.A. for various reasons including:
* It's a complicated system that takes time from a doctor's practice.
* Most parents don't know about it.
* Only adverse reactions that occur immediately after vaccinations are considered.
* Since VAERS is voluntary, most doctors don't want to incriminate themselves with vaccination injuries and maintain their denial of vaccine dangers.
Consequently, even the most terrible adverse reactions are minimally acknowledged, while long term negative health issues resulting from vaccines are not even considered relevant.

Different surveys summarized
The childhood diseases usually posed to respondents by the independent surveys involved asthma, reoccurring tonsillitis, chronic bronchitis, sinusitis, allergies, eczema, ear infections, diabetes, sleep disorders, bedwetting, dyslexia, migraines, hyperactivity, ADD, epilepsy, depression, and slower development of speech or motor skills.In 1992, a New Zealand group called the Immunization Awareness Society (IAS) surveyed 245 families with a total of 495 children. The children were divided with 226 vaccinated and 269 unvaccinated. Eighty-one families had both vaccinated and unvaccinated children.
The differences were dramatic, with unvaccinated children showing far less incidence of common childhood ailments than vaccinated children (www.vaccineinjury.info/images/stories/ias1992study.pdf). From a different survey in the South Island New Zealand city of Christchurch, among children born during or after 1977, none of the unvaccinated children had asthma events where nearly 25% of the vaccinated children were treated for asthma by age 10.
Many of the comments from non-vaccinating parents to VaccineInjury.info for the ongoing Bachmair survey mentioned vaccination danger and developing true immunity naturally were concerns (http://www.vaccineinjury.info).
A PhD immunologist who wrote the book Vaccine Illusion, Dr. Tetyana Obukhanych, has gone against the dogma of her medical training and background. She asserts that true immunity to any disease is not conferred by vaccines. Exposure to the disease, whether contracted or not, does (http://www.vaccinationcouncil.org).
Perhaps the most informal grass-roots survey going on now is by Tim O'Shea, DC, author of Vaccination is Not Immunization. He simply has non-vaccinating parents email him with comparisons of their children's health to friends and families they know with vaccinated children. That and more is available on his site (http://www.thedoctorwithin.com).

This is interesting. I have a few counter-ideas, though, for the sake of playing devil's advocate. I question a few statistical measures in the studies of this article. For one, I'm wondering if while comparing the health of vaccinated vs. unvaccinated children the study should have taken into account how often children of both categories were taken to the doctor. By this I mean that parents that did not vaccinate their children out of pure neglect (not someone like you who would elect not to vaccinate their child out of a rational fear that it would hurt the child) would also not take their children to the doctor's office as often as a parent concerned with their child's health might do. If this is true, then many common childhood illnesses may have gone undetected and underreported among children whose parents did not take them to the doctor's office as often as those children who frequently had check-ups. Again, i'm not saying that to not vaccinate your child means that you don't care, only that some of those that do not vaccinate do so out of negligence.
ReplyDeleteAnd my next point:
If the studies presented in this article are indeed all valid, and children that receive vaccines contract more mild childhood illness than unvaccinated children, that still does not overshadow the glimmering fact that the prevalence of measles, mumps, chicken pox, typhoid, rubella, and all those diseases that vaccines are meant to protect against have been dramatically reduced since the invention of vaccines. To this you might say, "well children that do not get vaccines do not contract such diseases either," that is true, but the reason for that is herd immunity. For example, if you have a herd of 100 sheep, 99 vaccinated against the sheep flu (or whatever), and 1 unvaccinated, of course that 1 sheep has no chance of contracting the disease, because who would he get the disease from when the other 99 are vaccinated? So while currently unvaccinated children may not contract the deadly diseases of our time period, they are only protected because all of their playmates are not disease-carrying. So in short, the more unvaccinated children, the higher our chance of an epidemic.
What do you think?
This sounds plausible, I've thought the same thing - I've read both sides of the fence on this issue and asking the same questions, what about the eradication of major communicable diseases? I wonder if similar could be accomplished with homeopathy. I'm still interested in this issue even though I don't have children, but I will say I am so glad I don't have to make this decision for for anyone. I had all the normal childhood vaccinations, and I'm dealing with autoimmune issues myself, now. My younger brothers had the same shots, and they're both very healthy now, though one had pretty severe allergies, and the other had ear infections as children.

ReplyDelete2x to 5x would be 100% more to 400% more, never 500% more.
ReplyDeleteToday I saw a story about polio. I had it before there was a vaccine. I recommend the vaccine.
