False
The few pediatricians who support families that don’t, or minimally, vaccinate their children, have long been aware the radical difference in the health of their unvaccinated, compared to their vaccinated, patients.
The majority of pediatricians, because they routinely vaccinate, have never seen this difference.
In 2020, the CDC was forced to admit that they have no record of any studies comparing the health of vaccinated and unvaccinated children.
Around the same time, the primary author of the most popular textbook on vaccines, Stanley Plotkin, MD, revealed that no childhood vaccine has ever been tested for safety against an inert placebo prior to licensure! He did this first in a 2019 deposition by Aaron Siri, Esq, and later in The New England Journal of Medicine in July, 2024.
This difference in overall health between the vaccinated and unvaccinated has not been fully researched until recently when several small studies produced shocking results:
A) A study of 600 home-schooled children in four US states showed that vaccinated children had:
- chickenpox four times less often,
- whooping cough three times less often, and
- rubella ten times less often than unvaccinated children.
However, while there are only minimal consequences to children contracting chickenpox and rubella, those same vaccinated children, when compared with the unvaccinated, were found to have considerably more other illnesses:
- ear infections four times more often,
- pneumonia six times more often,
- allergic rhinitis 30 times more often,
- allergies and encephalitis 4 times more often,
- eczema 3 times more often,
- learning disabilities 5 times more often,
- neuro-developmental disorders, including ADHD, 4 times more often, and
- some form of chronic illness 2.5 times more often.
These children also visited a doctor due to illness 3 times more often, were hospitalized 1.8 times more often, and used:
- allergy medications 21 times more often,
- fever medications 4.5 times more often,
- ear-drainage tubes 8 times more often and
- antibiotics 2.5 times more often.
B) A second small 2020 study by Hooker and Miller similarly showed that vaccinations were associated with increased odds of developmental delays, asthma, and ear infections.
C) A third study, also in 2020, followed 3,344 children in an integrative pediatric practice comparing the ten-year history of office visits of a highly vaccinated group (orange in the graphs below) with an unvaccinated group (blue in the graphs). While it’s still online, the editors have since marked the paper as “retracted” with no explanation or criticism of any of the findings.
A more recent study vindicated this erroneous retraction.
These graphs show the difference in these populations.

D) Still another pilot study, The Control Group Litigation, was designed specifically for a lawsuit in California that attempted to stop, at a federal level, the nationwide march by many states to copy California in mandating the CDC vaccination schedule for children to attend school. Using a set of infographics, it graphically shows similar results (scroll down to “Our Case Documents” to see them).
In 2022, despite their impressively strong case, the apparently corporate-controlled US Supreme Court refused to hear the case.
A Video Compilation
An video, “Do Vaccines Make Us Healthier?” illustrates the findings from several of the above studies in more detail.
The original version on YouTube had over 50,000 views before it was censored. The above link now access a 2024 22-minute expanded version.
Here is a set of graphics compiling many related studies on different vaccines, which show how complex this issue is.
Addendum
E) This fifth point, only added to this site in October 2025, introduces a much bigger study done in a major medical center by pro-vaccine researchers.
It has been suppressed for 5 years, likely because it revealed similar results to the above studies. It’s described in the documentary, An Inconvenient Study.
Conclusion
Only the US Dept of Health and Human Services has access to a large enough set of data that would be needed for incontrovertible proof that vaccines inprove children’s health.
Since they could have easily shown that vaccinations improve children’s overall health decades ago, why haven’t they done so?
One logical conclusion is that they have actually looked at these data and do not want the findings to be known.
HHS Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, has promised to make such a study public.
