It will also show that better-designed studies have found no evidence that vaccinated children are more likely to have poorer health outcomes compared to unvaccinated children. Contents - Twice-retracted study by Mawson et al. relied on a survey of homeschooling parents, not representative of the general population - Vaccines don’t weaken children’s immune system - CDC study unable to establish a causal relationship between aluminum levels in vaccines and asthma - Now-retracted study by Lyons-Weiler and Thomas relied on a new, unvalidated metric to suggest vaccinated children are more likely to be sick - Well-designed studies didn’t find an increased risk of poorer health in vaccinated children compared to unvaccinated children - Conclusion - Scientists’ feedback - On other common vaccine-related claims - References [...] Better-designed studies—which were never discussed in the interview—have found no evidence that vaccinated children have poorer health compared to unvaccinated children.
