Vaccinated vs Non- Vaccinated Studies

This is a list of studies that looked at Vaccinated vs. Non-Vaccinated Children and Teens. Some of these studies are from the US others from the England, Europe or New Zealand, but all were performed by Universities. A few studies re-check old studies. They have mixed results.

Something to think about when reading the following studies. In the US side effects are monitored in the following way:

"Most of the studies are designed in a way that will never detect many types of potential damage. In fact, the federal Institute of Medicine’s protocol for verifying causality of vaccine damage consists of comparing health problems of recently vaccinated children to health problems in background control groups of already vaccinated children (not comparisons to non-vaccinated subjects). Because the test group and the control group are both vaccinated, such tests will show only immediate effects of the vaccination, and are of course unable to detect any long-term or widespread damage in the vaccinated population, because any such damage would become a "normal" background parameter of the control group.”


"Is Infant Immunization a Risk Factor for Childhood Asthma or Allergy" (DPT & polio)

Epidemiology Journal, 1997
(Christchurch is a city in New Zealand)

The Christchurch Health and Development Study comprises 1,265 children born in 1977. The 23 children who received no diphtheria/pertussis/tetanus (DPT) and polio immunizations had no recorded asthma episodes or consultations for asthma or other allergic illness before age 10 years; in the immunized children, 23.1% had asthma episodes, 22.5% asthma consultations, and 30.0% consultations for other allergic illness. Similar differences were observed at ages 5 and 16 years. These findings do not appear to be due to differential use of health services (although this possibility cannot be excluded) or con-founding by ethnicity, socioeconomic status, parental atopy, or parental smoking.

"Vaccination and Allergic Disease: A Birth Cohort Study" (MMR & DPPT)

University of Nottingham, England
American Journal of Public Health, June 2004
McKeever TM, Lewis SA, Smith C.

"Objectives.
We examined the effect of vaccination for diphtheria; polio; pertussis and tetanus; or measles, mumps, and rubella on the incidence of physician-diagnosed asthma and eczema."

"Children vaccinated with DPPT (or MMR) had 14 times more asthma and 9.4 times more eczema than non-vaccinated children." http://www.andreabrisson.com/vaccine.html#Arevaccinatedchildrenhealthier

"Results. We found an association between vaccination and the development of allergic disease; however, this association was present only among children with the fewest physician visits and can be explained by this factor."

Note: DPPT is DPT plus polio.

"Diphtheria, Pertussis, Poliomyelits, Tetanus, and Haemophilius influenza Type b Vaccinations and Risk of Eczema and Recurrenteeze in the First Year of Life: The KOALA Birth Cohort Study"
Dept. of Epidemiology, Maastricht Univercity, Netherlands
Dept. of Medical Microbiology, University Hospital of Masstricht, Netherlands
LouisBolk Institute, Driebergen, Netherlands
Pediatrics, February 2007

"RESULTS: During the first year of life, the incident of eczema was 23% (584 of 2537 infants) and of recurrent wheeze, the incidence was 8.5% (203 of 2402 infants).

"At age 6 months, 1969 (77%) of 2545 infants had been vaccinated according to the standard schedule, 393 (15%) vaccinated according to an incomplete schedule, and 182 (7%) never vaccinated. Compared with infants with standard vaccination schedules, infants with incomplete schedules did not differ significantly in eczema risk or recurrent wheeze. this was also true for infants who had never been vaccinated. "

"CONCLUSION. This study shows that the risk of eczema or recurrent wheeze at 1 year of age does not differ between infants with different vaccination status at the age of 6 months. "

"
the medical records of 14,000 children born in Manitoba in 1995. They found that children who received the DPT (diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus) vaccine at two months of age were 2.63 times more likely to develop asthma (at a rate of 13.9%) than children who were not given the shot until after four months of age (5.9%)." http://www.whale.to/vaccine/autismsuit.html

"Blood Levels of Mercury Are Related to Diagnosis of Autism: A Reanalysis of an Important Data Set."
Journal of Child Neurology , 2007
Department of Psychology, University of Northern Iowa, Cedar Falls, Iowa

Robert T. Hitlan, PhD

"The question of what is leading to the apparent increase in autism is of great importance. Like the link between aspirin and heart attack, even a small effect can have major health implications. If there is any link between autism and mercury, it is absolutely crucial that the first reports of the question are not falsely stating that no link occurs. We have reanalyzed the data set originally reported by Ip et al. in 2004 and have found that the original p value was in error and that a significant relation does exist between the blood levels of mercury and diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder. Moreover, the hair sample analysis results offer some support for the idea that persons with autism may be less efficient and more variable at eliminating mercury from the blood."
