Oh great. An antivax commenter from my blog—or someone pretending to be him (I’m not sure)—is on Twitter now, spewing nonsense. Apparently he doesn’t realize that there’s no aluminum adjuvants in attenuated live virus vaccines like the MMR vaccine.

I pointed that out in my second Tweet and also how that idea was just as ridiculous from a scientific standpoint. Try reading the whole thread. It’s only two Tweets long.

No. As the science indisputably proves. It’s almost as if you’ve never read any science on the MMR and autism. They’ve...done...studies. Not one showed a correlation. The last one showed higher rates in unvaxxed group.

The only way to end this argument is for the CDC to allow access to their existing data to compare health outcomes of vaccinated v's unvaccinated children. If vaccines had a positive effect on children's health I think we would have seen this study done by now.

They have had a positive effect on children's health. Do 1,000 children under the age of 5 still die from HIB every year and 20,000 still get infected w/ 1/3rd of those suffering lifelong complications? And comparison studies have been done.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3057555/ …

I'd be curious as to how you would use that data to prove any health differences were from the vaccine & not other reasons (diet, environment, amount of doctor visits, type of doctor used, parental bias, internet/cell phone use, etc.)

Not to mention unvaxxed in the USA have far less chance of getting infectious diseases vaccines prevent because most vaccinate. In order to do a proper study you'd need to do it in a country that doesn't vaccinate at high rates. Like Samoa last year. How did that go?

The US now has 54% of children with chronic disease, much of it autoimmune disease. This is at a much higher rate than before the current vaccine program. A vaxxed unvaxxed study would give some strong clues as to whether this was caused by vaccination.

That is actually utter bullshit, an antivax talking point dreamt up by the rabid antivaxxer @RobertKennedyJr and his equally rabidly antivax group @ChildrensHD.https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/is-marianne-williamson-correct-that-todays-generation-of-children-is-the-sickest-generation/ …

This study is about insurance disparities but quotes the same percentages. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1876285910002500 …

"An estimated 43% of US children (32 million) currently have at least 1 of 20 chronic health conditions assessed, increasing to 54.1% when overweight, obesity, or being at risk for developmental delays are included"
