General
Pertussis (Whooping Cough)
- Reintroduction of Pertussis vaccination in Sweden reduced cases by 80-90%
- 80% of infants with Whooping Cough were infected by parents or siblings
- Full Pertussis vaccination prevents 99.8% of infant hospital admissions
- DTPa vaccine shown to be 84% efficacious
- Neither Pertussis infection or vaccination give life-long immunity
- Unvaccinated children 23 times more likely to be infected with Pertussis
Asthma/Allergies/Diabetes:
- No link between Pertussis vaccination and asthma
- No link between vaccinations and Asthma or Allergies
- No link between routine childhood vaccinations and Type 1 diabetes
Autism:
- Danish study of 537,000 children finding vaccinated children slightly less likely to suffer Autism/ASD
- English study finding no epidemiological evidence for a causal association
- Study finding no association between Measles Virus Vaccine and Autism
- Canadian study finding no link between either MMR or thiomersal and Autism
- Danish study finding no link between thiomersal and Autism
- Timing/number of vaccines and thiomersal levels have no effect on neuropsychological outcomes
- Lack of association between measles virus vaccine and autism with enteropathy
- Study discovers genetic changes in DNA which are linked to Autism
- Study of 57,000 British children finds no link between MMR vaccination and Autism
- Study finds Autism still increasing, despite removal of Thiomersal from vaccines
- AMA statement on the lack of a link between MMR and Autism, plus links to research showing various genetic links
- Study into autism prevalence in Amish communities finds rates of 1 in 270, debunking the claim that “The Amish don’t vaccinate and they don’t suffer Autism”
