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

Well, there's also the "free rider" problem.

It's actually perfectly safe to not vaccinate your kids, as long as everyone else DOES vaccinate THEIR kids.

We don't quite have a big enough "critical mass" of idiots that don't vaccinate their kids in the US for a real epidemic of one of these old childhood diseases to break out and sustain itself.

We will eventually, though, I suspect.
