America, Meet Our Unvaccinated Kids, Version 2.0
Jb_handley_photoBy J.B. Handley
Back in June, we released what we felt was an astonishing data set for the
first ever study comparing the rates of ADHD, autism, and asthma between
vaccinated children and unvaccinated children. Our conclusion was weighty:
“We surveyed over 9,000 boys in California and Oregon and found that
vaccinated boys had a 155% greater chance of having a neurological disorder
like ADHD or autism than unvaccinated boys."
And, the mainstream media wouldn’t touch it.
Cynics will say this is because our survey was only a “phone survey”
despite the fact that phone surveys are reported in the news every day, and
despite the fact that the CDC uses a phone survey to establish the
prevalence of…autism!!
As the Director of the CDC’s two phone surveys on autism noted: "the
consistency of prevalence estimates across the two surveys supports high
reliability or reproducibility of parental report of autism and reliability
is one important component of validity."
Were we blacked out? Was our story too hot for the mainstream media to
handle? Perhaps, we’ll never know for sure. That said, we got plenty of
coverage and heard from places like UPI reporter Dan Olmsted, Daily Kos,
and NewsMax.com, to name a few.
Fast forward to September, and the climate for listening to the parents has
changed, perhaps permanently, thanks to Jenny McCarthy.
So, we ran our Ad again today, the one describing the survey results, but
this time we ran it in USA Today.
With that as background, America please meet our unvaccinated kids:
For the first time ever, we know something about them that may help our kids.
Yup, they live right down the street from you, they are 5.6% of the
population, and they have less asthma, less ADHD, and less autism than our
kids seem to have. At least according to our survey.
Do we expect you to believe us? Not really. Not if you’re a member of the
mainstream media or the mainstream medical establishment. But, we really
hope you will look at our data. Because today, unlike the CDC, we are
making all of our data public simultaneously with the release of our
survey. Crunch away, and decide for yourself.
We followed a very straightforward process, so anyone can retrace our
steps. We told a market research firm what we wanted to know. They designed
a questionnaire they felt would get us an answer. We approved the
questionnaire. They ran the survey and sent us the data, which you can now
access. Decide for yourself.
Some of the numbers really jump out, particularly amongst the boys. A “Risk
Ratio” is a way to compare prevalence, so that if 10% of vax kids and 5% of
unvax kids have ADHD, the Risk Ratio is 2.0, or a 100% difference. Risk
Ratios above 2.0 tend to be allowed in a court of law to show correlation.
We found many Risk Ratios well in excess of 2.0, and some higher than 4.0,
the equivalent of a 300% difference.
Decide for yourself.
Have we proved anything today? Yes and no. We’ve proved that unvaccinated
kids are easy to find, and that a straightforward survey yielded some
disturbing results. What we haven’t done is design a study with enough
scale and controls to be published in a first-tier, peer-reviewed journal.
But, we’ve certainly highlighted the screaming need for such a study to
happen.
So, now what?
Everyone should send an email to Dan Olmsted and thank him for his Age of
Autism series from UPI. He’s the one who asked about unvaccinated kids
first, and asked it loudest. He even asked Julie Gerberding, CDC Director.
He just kept on asking it until we got so tired thinking about what an
obvious question it was that we did something about it.
Our data should be scrutinized, analyzed, challenged, and debated by any
and everyone in the autism community who cares to do so. (If you want a
copy of the Excel spreadsheet with the primary data in it, email us and we
will send it to you.)
Everyone and their grandmother needs to cajole their Congressperson to jump
on the bandwagon and support Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney's bill to study
unvaccinated children.
This incredibly brave Congresswoman from New York said in a press release
in June: “What is ultimately needed to resolve this issue one way or the
other is a comprehensive national study comparing outcomes between
vaccinated and unvaccinated children. As the most scientifically advanced
country in the world, we should be jumping at the chance to conduct a
comprehensive national study to resolve the questions that have been
raised. Parents deserve answers, and children deserve no less than
absolutely certainty and safety.”
The autism community should pull together and fund our own independent
study, in addition to the Maloney bill, to gather as much data as quickly
as possible. Autism Speaks, with the biggest war chest, should take this
opportunity to fund or lead the funding for such a study, and help put this
issue to rest once and for all. It would be a great opportunity for them to
repair a badly burned bridge with many of us, and I hope they jump at the
chance. The study must be run by researchers who have no history in this
fight, on either side of the argument, and it must have the scale and
controls to achieve wide acceptance through journal publication.
As for me, nothing much changes. My son is getting better, and we think the
road map drawn by considering him “vaccine injured” is why. Knowing cause
is so incredibly important to figuring out how to help and treat our kids,
and I’m grateful for the pioneers who have been demanding answers for
years. My wife and I hope, in some small way, that this survey moves things
forward, and creates a deafening demand from parents for more answers. Now.
