Autism Study - Vaccinated vs Unvaccinated

An organization called Generation Rescue performed a study comparing Neurological Disorders & Autism rates between Vaccinated vs Unvaccinated Children:

Here is a summary:

Generation Rescue chose to use telephone interviews with parents to gather data on children, so as to closely mirror the methodology the CDC uses to establish national prevalence for NDs such as ADHD and autism through their national phone survey of parent responses. Generation Rescue chose to focus on children ages 4-17 to match the age range used by CDC.

SurveyUSA gathered data on 9,175 boys and 8,499 girls.  Counties surveyed in California included: San Diego Sonoma Orange Sacramento Marin Counties surveyed in Oregon included: Multnomah Marion Jackson Lane The results of the survey can be accessed as a pdf file here.  This is the primary data we received from SurveyUSA and  it can be used for anyone to independently analyze our results. Generation Rescue analyzed the data provided by SurveyUSA, and a copy of the analysis can be found online.  The most notable results of our survey are with the boys, which is not surprising  considering boys represent 80% of total cases of NDs.  Namely:

All vaccinated boys, compared to unvaccinated boys:

- Vaccinated boys were 155% more likely to have a neurological disorder (RR 2.55) - Vaccinated boys were 224% more likely to have ADHD (RR 3.24) - Vaccinated boys were 61% more likely to have autism (RR 1.61)

Older vaccinated boys, ages 11-17 (about half the boys surveyed), compared to older unvaccinated boys:

- Vaccinated boys were 158% more likely to have a neurological disorder (RR 2.58) - Vaccinated boys were 317% more likely to have ADHD (RR 4.17) - Vaccinated boys were 112% more likely to have autism (RR 2.12) (Note: older children may be a more reliable indicator because many children are not diagnosed until they are 6-8 years old, and we captured data beginning at age 4.)

All vaccinated boys, removing one county with unusual results (Multnomah, OR), compared to unvaccinated boys:

- Vaccinated boys were 185% more likely to have a neurological disorder (RR 2.85) - Vaccinated boys were 279% more likely to have ADHD (RR 3.79) - Vaccinated boys were 146% more likely to have autism (RR 2.46)

All vaccinated boys and girls, compared to unvaccinated boys and girls:

- Vaccinated boys and girls were 120% more likely to have asthma (RR 2.20) - No correlation established for juvenile diabetes

All vaccinated girls, compared to unvaccinated girls:

- No meaningful differences in prevalence were noted for NDs (which may be due to the smaller sample size of the study because girls represent about 20% of cases.) To view the whole study CLICK HERE to go to the website.
