Subject: Who is healthier, the vaccinated or the unvaccinated?!

Hello all,

a couple of weeks ago, Stuttgart (Germany) hosted a
symposium of medical experts opposed to vaccination
from all over the world.  I followed its proceedings
on the Internet, all in German.  Much of it very
interesting and informative.  One of the most
interesting pieces of into -- a newsletter, the theme
of which is "Who's healthier, the vaccinated or the
unvaccinated."  Again all in German.  I don't have
time to translate all of it but will translate a few
of the findings.  For those who have a reading
knowledge of German, here is the URL:

In an introductory note, the editor talks about the
derth of real studies as to "Who is healthier...?" and
explains why both the medical establishment and the
pharma-industry have been dragging their feet re
conducting such studies.

He ofers a list of such studies, a blurb for each with
the significant results and the URL that will take you
to the study itself.

I have looked at some of the studies / surveys in all
their meticulous details.  Let's have a glance at some
of the results. 

I am sure theresults don't come as a surprise to most
of the people here.  What's interesting is that they
are so well documented and that the further tact that
the surveys were conducted outside North America.
Keep in mind though that what I am giving you are
summary results only.  The details are in the URLs.

Salzburger Elternstudie (Survey of / by parents) (2001-2005)   Results: Unvaccinated children -- virtually no asthma; vaccinated 1 in 10; and three to five times less Neurodermatis....

Englische Kohortenstudie (1988 - 1999)    Results: Vaccninated children are up to 14 times more likely to have asthma than the unvaccinated and up to nine times more like to have skin problems. http://www.impf-report.de/jahrgang/2005/02.htm#06

Langzeitstudie in Guinea-Bissau    Results The death rate for unvaccinated children is about half that of the vaccinated.  [Ungeimpfte Kinder haben im Vergleich mit geimpften Kindern ein um die Hälfte geringeres Sterberisiko]

Schwedische Studie an Waldorfschulen Results Unvaccinated kids have a lower risk of allergies... [Ungeimpfte Kinder haben im Vergleich zu geimpften Kindern ein geringeres Allergierisiko]. http://www.waldorflibrary.org/journal_articles/rb5103.pdf

WHO-Feldversuch (field trials) in Indien (1968 - 1971) Results Unvaccinated kids are much less likely to get sick. On the basis of this study, stopped recommending the tuberculosis vaccination. 

[Ungeimpfte Personen haben im Vergleich zu Geimpften
ein erheblich geringeres Erkrankungsrisiko (aufgrund
dieser Studie wurde die Empfehlung der
Tuberkuloseimpfung in Deutschland zurückgenommen)]

Neuseeländische Umfrage (survey) (1992)
Unvaccinated kids are five times less likely to have
asthma than the vaccinated, 2.5 times less likely to
have skin problems and 8 times less likely to be
hyperactive.

All this in the April issue of the
"All-about-Vaccination Newsletter
by Parents for Parents." The March issue
<www.impf-report.de/erschienen.php>
contains the detailed vaccination report.

In conclusion, a question to Karaka re her post "What
causes autism...?"  If the Japanese have their share
of autism though the MMRs have been discontinued, can
it
be that Japanese kids get their mercury from sources
other than thimerosol-laced vaccine? From mercury-
laced fish, for instance?  After all, the Japanese
eat much fish.  Remember minamata....
