The study which follows (see link below) was brought to my attention recently by a friend. It is clear that much more research--and rigorous research--is needed in this area.

The study compares the overall health of a pool of homeschooled children--some vaccinated, some partially vaccinated, and others fully unvaccinated--to determine if vaccination status is connected with any overall trends in individual health in these children. The presence in these children of conditions such as chickenpox, allergic rhinitis, and neurodevelopmental disorders (such as autism spectrum disorder) are examined.

Highlights.

"The vaccinated were less likely than the unvaccinated to have been diagnosed with chickenpox and pertussis, but more likely to have been diagnosed with pneumonia, otitis media, allergies and NDD. [neurodevelopmental disorders]"

(emphasis mine)

...the U.S. is experiencing what has been described as a “silent pandemic” of mostly subclinical developmental neurotoxicity, in which about 15% of children suffer from a learning disability, sensory deficits, and developmental delays [27,28]

Although short-term immunologic and safety testing is performed on vaccines prior to their approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the long-term effects of individual vaccines and of the vaccination program itself remain unknown [8].

(emphasis mine)

The safe levels and long- term effects of vaccine ingredients such as adjuvants and preservatives are also unknown [13].

(emphasis mine)

Under the currently recommended pediatric vaccination schedule [7], U.S. children receive up to 48 doses of vaccines for 14 diseases from birth to age six years, a figure that has steadily increased since the 1950s, most notably since the Vaccines for Children program was created in 1994. The Vaccines for Children program began with vaccines targeting nine diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, Haemophilus influenzae type b disease, hepatitis B, measles, mumps, and rubella. Between 1995 and 2013, new vaccines against five other diseases were added for children age 6 and under: varicella, hepatitis A, pneumococcal disease.

We are injecting children with cocktails of chemicals in combinations which have never undergone testing for inter alia, or potentially harmful drug interactions.

This is a peer-reviewed medical study which is implicitly pro-vaccine.

The study calls for greater examination of reports of vaccine injury to the VAERS database, which are largely ignored by doctors. However, the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program has paid out 3.2 Billion dollars in vaccine injury compensation since its creation in 1986. This is a Federal Government program (vaccine makers themselves cannot be sued).

Here's the study. I wanted to burn it into the blockchain. Please read it.
