Large-scale study raises questions about links between vaccination and neurodevelopmental disorders in children

A new study analysing Medicaid records has suggested an association between childhood vaccinations and an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), including autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

The findings in the study, based on data from over 47,000 nine-year-old children enrolled in Florida’s Medicaid program, indicate that children who received vaccinations had significantly higher odds of being diagnosed with various NDDs compared to unvaccinated children.

The study, which examined the effects of the increasing number of required childhood vaccines since the 1950s, tested three hypotheses: whether vaccinations are linked to NDDs, whether preterm birth combined with vaccination increases the likelihood of NDDs, and whether more vaccination visits correlate with higher rates of ASD.

Researchers found that 39.9% of preterm children who were vaccinated developed at least one NDD, compared to 15.7% of preterm children who were unvaccinated. Additionally, children who had received just one vaccination visit were 1.7 times more likely to be diagnosed with ASD than those who remained unvaccinated. This risk increased with more vaccination visits, with children who had 11 or more visits being 4.4 times more likely to have an ASD diagnosis.

The study’s conclusions suggest that the current vaccination schedule may play a role in the rising prevalence of neurodevelopmental disorders.

The debate over potential risks versus benefits of vaccines remains a topic of significant scientific and public interest.

  1. In the US the children have so many vaccinations that they look like pincushions.

    A simple thought experiment as to whether vaccines do harm or not: Get a control group that has not been vaccinated and compare their health to the vaccinated group; e.g. The Amish v the general population.

    Amish children do not suffer autism. The general population children suffer it at a rate of about 1 in 35 and it has reached this level by increasing, almost exponentially, from about 1 in 10000 in 1970.

    Also, which group did not get COVID? The Amish.

    Q.E.D. and all without any medical knowledge.

  2. So called vaccinations, have never been about health. These are all poisons at best, bio-weapons at worst. The beneficiary is never the one injected.
