A new survey was performed in California and Oregon, comparing vaccinated boys to non-vaccinated boys and the prevalence of neurological disorders for each group. More than 9,000 boys between the ages of 4-17 were surveyed and researchers found some startling data.
They found that vaccinated boys were two-and-a-half times (155%) more likely to have neurological disorders compared to their unvaccinated counterparts. The vaccinated boys were 224% more likely to have attention deficit disorder and 61% more likely to have autism. The study isolated the data on older boys from ages 11-17 and found that the vaccinated boys were 158% more likely to have a neurological disorder, 317% more likely to have ADHD and 112% more likely to have autism. (The results can be found on www.GenerationRescue.com.)
These findings are once again raising serious questions about the safety of vaccinations. The authors of the survey are not suggesting people stop vaccinating; they are doing this survey to stimulate more quality research done on vaccinations. Because the vaccination subject is such a high profile debate, they are demanding the CDC and other regulatory agencies do quality studies comparing vaccinated children to non-vaccinated children.
In 1983, the cases of autism were one in 10,000 children; in 2007 it is one in –. That is a growth rate of 6,000%. Today, it is estimated that one in every 13 kids is diagnosed with ADHD.
Why is this happening? Could it be that in 1983 the CDC recommended that children under 5 years of age were “required” to take 10 vaccines, while today it is 36 (an increase of 260%). According to J.B. Handley, co-founder of Generation Rescue whose son was diagnosed with autism, “no one has ever compared prevalence rates of these neurological disorders between vaccinated and unvaccinated.” He further mentions, “this survey is not perfect but it is a good start to see how vaccines are affecting our children.”
Parents have a right to choose what is best for their children. As long as parents are given the right information, they can make the best decision for their families. New research is demanded to find the truth about how our kids are affected by these vaccinations.
Are we sacrificing a short-term gain for long-term problems? Healthy children today will ensure a healthy society tomorrow.
