Why have we not seen studies that compare the health of non-vaccinated children with vaccinated children?

The studies I have read are all one-sided and written poorly. I would like to know the effects of not vaccinating children.

Lots of dead, disfiguered, and crippled children. The "control group" is in graves dated 19th century and prior.

People can believe what they wish, but you can't ignore history.

I have one daughter (21) who had all of her vaccines and one son(19) who had only a few. My daughter catches EVERYTHING and takes a lot longer to recover. Her immune system is not nearly as effective as my son's.

They have both been involved with large groups of children their entire lifes. They have been exposed to most illnesses.

You don't need studies when you have history. Comparing vaccinated vs. non-vaccinated today is meaningless because a handful of non-vaccinated children living in an almost totally vaccinated world are protected by default. If you want to compare look at the whole population of non-vaccinated children throughout history and compare the hundreds of thousands of deaths to the minuscule morbidity and mortality rates of today "caused" by vaccine.

People who want to opt out because of the boogieman of bad vaccines are fools.

I have a cousin, age 60, who would give just about ANYTHING to have been vaccinated when she was a child. She's 90% disabled on one side of her body from polio. It totally changed her life.

Do parents who don't vaccinate their kids love them? I think not.

First of all,you need to grow up. Second, if you haven't seen the reputable studies it's because you have deliberately avoided facing reality...for god knows what perverted reason.

Why don't you start with: smallpox; polio; dyphtheria; pertussis; after you've read the REAL public health literature, in about ten years, get back to us; and maybe then you will be prepared for a serious discussion.
