      If you know about those active surveillance systems, then you know you’re deceiving when you emphasize VAERS over them. VAERS is an early warning system, nothing more. VSD, CISA, and PRISM do the real work of vaccine safety.

      As for a “vaxxed/unvaxxed study, it’s so cute when antivaxxers think they know epidemiology. This post is old; so the autism prevalence numbers are out of date, but the principles are the same.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2009/08/24/its-so-cute-when-anti-vaxers-try-to/ …

      Also, it’s an antivax myth that there are no “vaxxed/unvaxxed” studies. Guess what? If anything, they find the vaccinated to be healthier. At the very least there’s no detectable difference.https://thoughtscapism.com/2015/04/10/myth-no-studies-compare-the-health-of-unvaccinated-and-vaccinated-people/ …

      Of course, that’s no difference in health not accounting for infectious diseases. Unvaccinated children will, of course, be less healthy than vaccinated children because they will suffer more and more severe cases of vaccine-preventable diseases than the vaccinated.

      David, thank you for supplying this article on Vaxxed vs unvaxxed. I will take time to study it and get back to you. But I’d still rather see this study done in the VSD because U.S. has better surveillance and the best scientists. I hope you agree.

      Here's a great study in that link that shows the only major difference between vaxxed & unvaxxed when it comes to health is that unvaxxed get preventable diseases at higher rates.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3057555/ …

      Do you think this data is limited in the scope of total health outcomes? For instance, if this data is accurate and prevalence of single diseases is lower in vaccinated ppl, great, but what about health in general.. is chronic stimulation of immune sys causing chronic illness etc

      There is plenty of evidence (replicated peer-reviewed studies from around the world over decades) that there is no connection.

      Indeed. When so many studies have been done and failed to find a link, it is reasonable to conclude that, barring compelling new evidence to the contrary, there is no link.

          How many independent studies have been conducted, utilising the gold standard of science, have definitely concluded there are no links.?

          What is the "gold standard" of science & can you give a citation? Have these been tested with the "gold standard?" Seatbelts Lifejackets New HIV medications Most new cancer drugs Parachutes Smoking causing cancer?
