UPDATE It seems that the original link to the study in question was not working - because it was DISABLED after we posted this article! Thanks to the efforts of our staff and some zealous commenters, we found and SAVED the original study for your perusal, here. We care about TRUTH here at the Homestead Guru, so thank you for helping us uncover it!
It seems that unvaccinated children are measurably healthier that vaccinated kids on nine different measures of health.
Whether we're talking about nasal allergies, learning disabilities, or pneumonia, the unvaccinated kids have lower rates of illness.
This study's findings are especially important when we consider that America's children are sicker than ever before, and nobody really knows why.
43% of American kids now suffer from some sort of chronic illness, NOT including obesity.
In any given month, one out of every FOUR children in America is taking prescription drugs for some ailment. This spells profit for big Pharma, but why is this happening to our kids?
I don't know about you, but these figures are disturbing to me. Diagnoses used to be reserved for the aging and dying, but now, more and more children, and even babies, are getting diagnosed and prescribed, with all sorts of things.
The study's findings really make you wonder. Here's some of the specifics:
- Vaccinated children were more than three times as likely to be diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum (OR 4.3)
- Vaccinated children were 30-fold more likely to be diagnosed with allergic rhinitis (hay fever) than non-vaccinated children
- Vaccinated children were 22-fold more likely to require an allergy medication than unvaccinated children
- Vaccinated children had more than quadruple the risk of being diagnosed with a learning disability than unvaccinated children (OR 5.2)
- Vaccinated children were 300 percent more likely to be diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder than unvaccinated children (OR 4.3)
- Vaccinated children were 340 percent (OR 4.4) more likely to have been diagnosed with pneumonia than unvaccinated children
- Vaccinated children were 300 percent more likely to be diagnosed with an ear infection than unvaccinated children (OR 4.0)
- Vaccinated children were 700 percent more likely to have surgery to insert ear drainage tubes than unvaccinated children (OR 8.01)
- Vaccinated children were 2.5-fold more likely to be diagnosed with any chronic illness than unvaccinated children
This study took a sample size of 666 home schooled six to 12-year-olds from four states, and compared 261 unvaccinated children with 405 partially or fully vaccinated children.
Sure, the sample size isn't huge--but it's worth noting that over 95% of kids in America today are vaccinated.
The kids' overall health was assessed based on their mothers’ reports of vaccinations and physician-diagnosed illnesses.
The vaccinated children were less likely to have some infections they were vaccinated against. However, no evidence was found that vaccinated children were more protected against any so-called “vaccine-preventable diseases”. Children in both groups had roughly the same rates of infection from measles, mumps, Hepatitis A and B, influenza, rotavirus, and meningitis (both viral and bacterial).
Of course, a precursor to this study is the 2016 documentary Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe.
This fascinating and controversial movie was created by Andrew Wakefield, a gastroenterologist who was among the first professionals to suggest a link between the MMR vaccine and autism in the late 1990s.
The FDA agrees that mercury is a neurotoxin (even implicating the mercury in fish and dental fillings), but they refuse to consider non-oral exposure when calculating risk, even in the face of findings to the contrary!
Okay, so the ingredients in vaccines can potentially alter brain chemistry and function. This correlates with the brain-gut connection that scientists are only just starting to uncover. It also explains why the microbiome is so important, from birth onward.
Since vaccines were invented, they've been championed as modern medical marvels.
Never mind that good hygiene and other factors contributed to an overall decline in infectious diseases that may have simply paralleled the upswing in vaccine use over time.
An unpleasant truth that the medical community has always been aware of, is that some casualties would suffer damage and/or death from adverse vaccine reactions each year. They even have an organization, VAERS, to report these adverse events (some 30,000 are reported each year).
My daughter experienced one of these "adverse events". She had an acute reaction to the five different vaccines she was administered at her 2-month "well baby checkup".
She quit sleeping through the night, quit making eye contact with us, and seemed to develop instant colic that never stopped. It was only after multiple visits with pediatricians and specialists that I finally saw an immunologist, who confirmed her adverse reaction and reported it.
After almost a year, and countless hours of researching how to detox from heavy metals, my child thankfully recovered from the vaccine damage she suffered, and our waking nightmare ended.
She is now a healthy teenager who hasn't had another vaccine since. Even the immunologist we saw agreed it would be crazy to give her another vaccine, ever.
He said it would be like playing Russian roulette, actually.
What if vaccines aren't really as safe as we've been told?
The bottom line is, this newest study has alarming correlations and it's similar to what many whistle-blowers have been warning about for almost two decades: Maybe vaccines affect the body in ways we can't fully predict.
The human immune system is something we're still exploring, and are only just starting to understand.
Supporting the immune system with healthy and natural foods is a very different thing than treating it like an inert machine, with predictable outcomes and inputs.
Vaccines cannot act on the immune system without also impacting the body as a whole--and maybe it's time to admit that modern medical science is not yet advanced enough to understand the implications of that.
- The World Health Organization has extensive information on the safety and efficacy of vaccines, and their website is full of scientifically relevant information.
- Additionally, there's more than just a few radical MDs out there who support vaccine choice, as well as many who are against mandatory vaccinations.
Whether you are for vaccines or against them, we all must understand that there is risk involved either way.
There is no magic bullet that is guaranteed to protect us from microscopic doom, and that's scary to accept - but it's true. Personally, I prefer that the burden of evaluating those risks and benefits remain in the hands of the individual, instead of allowing that decision to be turned over to the authorities.Still wondering about this study's findings?
