Vaccinated versus unvaccinated children.
I have seen the protocols and the questionnaire, and have minor reservations which I’ve asked the researchers about, but it’s the best study I’ve seen, statistically sound (according to a stats guru I know who analysed it) and is a start in a scientific direction. This study is not an internet flot questionnaire posing as an official study. This is the real deal.
There is a blog about this study here: http://www.vaccinationcouncil.org/2012/12/03/official-vaccinated-vs-unvaccinated-study-finally-being-done-please-read-and-contribute-suzanne-humphries-md/

So let’s discuss this study and what we as parents have a right to know.
In the past, many here have discussed the question: “Is the short and long term health of unvaccinated children WORSE than vaccinated children, or vice versa?”
This is also a question recently asked in congress. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiQX0dRejz8
Which has lead this man to label these congressmen as anti-vaccine, and say this.

Salzburg then makes the statement that such studies have already been done.
What people reading his words don’t realise is that a typical example of such a study is children vaccinated with everything EXCEPT MMR compared with children vaccinated with everything AS WELL AS MMR. That’s what they call a vaccinated unvaccinated study.
That is not a vaccinated non-vaccinated study in my opinion.
This study will look at never vaccinated children, partially vaccinated children and fully vaccinated children between the ages of 6 and 15 years of age. the study group is already selected and read to go.
The researchers intend for this study to be published in mainstream peer reviewed medical journals.
Such a study holds “risks” for both sides of the arguments.
1) If it shows that vaccinated children have far better health, then the pro vaccine will hail is as the breakthrough (which they refused to fund and actively opposed) .... a waste of money, but “we told you so”. That's something we will have to wear if it happens, but I don't believe that will be the case.
2) If it showed that vaccinated children have far worse health, then the pro vaccine will try to find every reason possible to invalidate the study, because it won't show what they want. And if they believe that vaccines are safe and that this study will show what they believe, which is that unvaccinated children are NOT as healthy, then they should be behind this study.
This study should never have been funded by us, but the funding was withdrawn after the Lead Investigator was fired from his university after a spurious anonymous complaint lodged, not long after the funding for this study was approved.
The complaint was laughable, but just what i’d expect from the dirty tricks brigade (though I was surprised that they such tactics were employed...), and the LI was eagerly snapped up by another university, who are happy to run with this study. The team reassembled and is committed.
There is no point in US looking at the machinations of the dirty tricks, because that just wastes time in the spirit of slap, when time ticks on, and there is only two years left for the study process to be completed.
As many here know, the various pharma funded pseudo parents groups are right behind the current push by Offit et al, in going to legislatures in all American states to have all exemptions for vaccinations removed except medical exemptions.
Therefore the time to do this study is now.
This is the best chance for American parents to be part of a study which looks at information which goes to the heart of your right to have full information, to make well reasoned choices as to whether or not you will chose to vaccinate your children. Parents all around the world are contributing and watching, because this is important to them as well.
Will you please join me, in donating to a study which goes to the heart of every parents wish to make the right choices to do the very best for their child?
