Dr. Beau Pierce 11-21-16… “The Results From the First Ever Study Comparing Vaccinated vs. Unvaccinated Children Are In…”
I’m not exactly sure who Dr. Beau is, but the report he shares is most unveiling. Apparently after publishing the report, the website received complaints, and it was taken down.
The document images below of the report were also placed on the Kp blog, Part A, Part B.
“One is left to draw their own conclusions as to the why this study was taken down. According to RetractionWatch.com the abstract — published online in Frontiers in Public Health after being accepted November 21 — reported findings from anonymous online questionnaires completed by 415 mothers of home-schooled children 6-12 years old. Nearly 40 percent of children had not been vaccinated, and those that had were three times more likely to be diagnosed with neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism, the study found.
“The Conclusions are Chilling: The Vaccinated had a Higher rate of Allergies and Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and/or a learning disability (NDD) than the Unvaccinated.
[from the report abstract] “Conclusions: In this study based on mothers’ reports, the vaccinated had a higher rate of allergies
and NDD than the unvaccinated. Vaccination, but not preterm birth, remained significantly associated with NDD after controlling for other factors.”

Editors’ Note Appended 11/28/16: The survey mentioned below was taken directly from the Frontiers in Public Health website. The published abstract was recently deleted from their website. Below are the cached images of the survey.

After receiving criticism on Twitter, Frontiers released a public statement, noting that the study was only “provisionally accepted but not published,” and is being re-reviewed. When asked for a comment, a Frontiers spokesperson referred us to the statement.
The following other websites picked up on this story as well: Science Blogs, True Viral News, and VaccinationNews

A first of its kind groundbreaking study of over 650 children comparing vaccinated vs. unvaccinated has been completed and the results are in. Published in Frontiers in Public Health (link no longer goes to page, as it was taken down) this survey of over 400 mothers compared their vaccinated and unvaccinated children on a broad range of health outcomes to determine whether an association found between vaccination and neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD), if any, remains significant after adjustment for other measured factors.
The Conclusions are Chilling: The Vaccinated had a Higher rate of Allergies and Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and/or a learning disability (NDD) than the Unvaccinated.
Knowing this information as a parent what are your thoughts on this? If you are currently vaccinating your child, does this make you stop and question your decision to vaccinate your child moving forward? Or, have you vaccinated your child and immediately noticed changes in your child that you believe are NDD specific?
Below is the abstract from the study
Vaccination and Health Outcomes: A Survey of 6- to 12-year-old Vaccinated and Unvaccinated Children based on Mothers’ Reports
ABSTRACT
Background: Vaccinations have prevented millions of infectious illnesses, hospitalizations and deaths among US children. Yet the long-term health outcomes of the routine vaccination program remain unknown. Studies have been recommended by the Institute of Medicine to address this question.
Specific Aims: To compare vaccinated and unvaccinated children on a broad range of health outcomes, and to determine whether an association found between vaccination and neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD), if any, remains significant after adjustment for other measured factors.
Design: A cross-sectional survey of mothers of children educated at home.
Methods: Homeschool organizations in four states (Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Oregon) were asked to forward an email to their members, requesting mothers to complete an anonymous online questionnaire on the vaccination status and health outcomes of their biological children ages 6 to 12.
Results: A total of 415 mothers provided data on 666 children, of which 261 (39%) were unvaccinated. Vaccinated children were significantly less likely than the unvaccinated to have been diagnosed with chickenpox and pertussis, but significantly more likely to have been diagnosed with pneumonia, otitis media, allergies and NDDs (defined as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and/or a learning disability). After adjustment, the factors that remained significantly associated with NDD were vaccination (OR 3.1, 95% CI: 1.4, 6.8), male gender (OR 2.3, 95% CI: 1.2, 4.3), and preterm birth (OR 5.0, 95% CI: 2.3, 11.6). In a final adjusted model, vaccination but not preterm birth remained associated with NDD, while the interaction of preterm birth and vaccination was associated with a 6.6-fold increased odds of NDD (95% CI: 2.8, 15.5).
Conclusions: In this study based on mothers’ reports, the vaccinated had a higher rate of allergies and NDD than the unvaccinated. Vaccination, but not preterm birth, remained significantly associated with NDD after controlling for other factors. However, preterm birth combined with vaccination was associated with an apparent synergistic increase in the odds of NDD. Further research involving larger, independent samples is needed to verify and understand these unexpected findings in order to optimize the impact of vaccines on children’s health.
