A groundbreaking study published in the Science, Public Health Policy and the Law journal has found that vaccinated children are 170% more likely to suffer from autism and have a 212% higher risk of developing neurodevelopmental disorders. The research analyzed data from 47,155 children in Florida’s Medicaid program from birth to age 9 and concluded that increasing numbers of vaccinations are associated with an increased risk of autism.
The study vindicates the claims of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has been a vocal critic of vaccine safety despite facing ridicule from the media. Kennedy was questioned by Democrats and some Republicans at his confirmation hearings, with social media abuzz about Big Pharma’s alleged lobbying efforts to block his appointment.
The study found that children with 11 or more vaccinations were 340% more likely to contract autism than their unvaccinated counterparts, while those with one vaccination visit were 1.7 times more likely to have been diagnosed with autism. The researchers also discovered a significant link between vaccination and increased risk of bacterial infections, allergies, and learning disabilities.
The CDC has maintained that vaccines are safe and effective in preventing life-threatening diseases, but the study’s findings suggest otherwise. Dr. Karl Jablonowski, senior research scientist and expert in biomedical and health informatics, warned of “willful ignorance” by government officials and a “culprit in chronic disease” in the country.
The prevalence of autism has increased dramatically over the past few decades, with rates increasing more than tenfold during the 1980s. The study’s authors also found that vaccinated children were more likely to develop neurodevelopmental disorders, including ADHD, hyperkinetic syndrome, and epilepsy.
As the scientific evidence mounts against vaccine safety, it remains to be seen whether the government will take action to address these concerns or continue to prioritize corporate interests over public health.
