Vaccine Beat 3: Why Won’t CDC Do the Study?

September 16, 2014, 8 Comments

There is a vaccine safety study the public has been clamoring for for decades, but which has never been done: a proper study comparing the health outcomes of vaccinated and unvaccinated children. Parents have literally been asking for this study for decades and public health officials have merely dragged their feet or turned a deaf ear to them. If you are surprised to learn this simple study has never been done, you’re not alone, and like most people you are probably wondering why not.

Watch the video below and ask yourself, is this is the best we can expect from our nation’s health officials?

The fact that this study has never been done is not only sad and frustrating, it is also unscientific, as this study might answer once and for all whether vaccines improve our children’s health, or harm it.

Although there is already a growing body of research (see our Catalogue of Science)  linking vaccines to learning and developmental disabilities, behavioral problems, brain damage, seizures, allergies, asthma, gut issues, autoimmune diseases, obesity, chronic infections, and yes autism, this study could provide definitive answers to the question of vaccinations’ impact on health. It is worth noting that several surveys have already been conducted and the findings are startling: vaccinated kids are less healthy than their unvaccinated peers. See here.

In making The Greater Good  we asked CDC‘s top vaccine official, Dr. Melinda Wharton, Director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases why CDC wouldn’t just do the study and put all the questions and worries to rest. Dr. Wharton’s answer may surprise you and leave you wondering whether the problem is truly the difficulty of the study, or perhaps something more frightening, like the answer they might find.

With 54% of American school kids suffering from a chronic illness or developmental disability which science already links to vaccines, isn’t it time we did the study to determine the impact of vaccines on our children’s health? Don’t we want to know?

    There is a very recent study but for the life of me, I cannot find the results nor who the study was conducted by. I remember reading about 2 or 3 months ago, an article warning people to be catious about the results as they were from a biased source. The results were supposed to be out shortly but now I can neither find the results nor who was conducting the study.

    Why ever would they want to do a study, they already know the a swear! Big Pharma will milk every last dime they can from the vaccines……….that is until people smarten up and finally take responsibility for their own health and that of their children! In fact a study such as this could be considered unethical, if it weren’t for the fact that the vaccinators will vaccinate anyway…….. That is until it hits too close to home!!!

    Organic broccoli? Are you serious? One more thing: Why do you make these amateurish videos? It looks like an elementary school theatre play. Make something more serious and stop advertising “organic broccoli” as a replacement for medical treatment, and you would perhaps be taken more seriously.

    If the medical industries have become cynical, you also have to remember that they will use any means necessary to make a mockery out of any critics. This means that before making any critical voice, you must be 100% sure of what you are doing and do it in a more adult manner. Scientific debate is not elementary school play

      We don’t think you realize that the mockery is that CDC actually says that broccoli is the reason they can’t do the study. That our top health agencies say they can’t study the health outcomes of vaccinated children compared to unvaccinated children because they don’t eat the same broccoli is the true farce. There is plenty of science on our website (over 200 papers in our Catalogue of Science under the Learn More tab) documenting and exploring adverse reactions such as allergies, brain damage and death after vaccines. The science is clear,vaccines harm many of those who receive them, but the powers that be don’t want the public to know so they pretend there is a debate.

    Today, I found you, the web site I have been looking for. I agree 100% with the need to do the study on vaccinated vs unvaccinated children. The CDC’s arguments against such a study are ridiculous. Consumption of pesticide covered broccoli or any other confounding variable can be included in the study..

    Holy cow! I am reading notes from an FDA meeting in 2012 regarding using cancerous tumors for vaccines. OMG! When I saw this clip of Dr. Wharton’s inability to speak sanely, I got really scared. THIS IS OUR GOVT. IN ACTION!!! time to find a new country.

      Amazingly, some folks are so conditioned to not think critically, they accept what she is saying at face value. We agree, if this is the best our federal government can do, we have some serious problems.

Reviews

THE GREATER GOOD documentary provides real insights about the polarizing vaccine debate. The one size fits all, cradle to grave approach regarding vaccines is a short sighted crusade coordinated by the government and pharmaceutical companies. If we have learned anything regarding medical treatments, it’s that informed consent be the only mandatory requirement.
Dr. Joe Mercola
There are severe consequences due to our current vaccine policy and schedule, many of which are simply dismissed as coincidence or diagnosed improperly. These damages cannot be swept under the rug, and THE GREATER GOOD documentary highlights several powerful personal stories of vaccine tragedies to bring increased awareness to this important issue.
Dr. Joe Mercola
Vaccines: It is such an interesting topic, I’ve never experienced such a polarizing force in conversations or relationships.
Tony Edwards
THE GREATER GOOD may be the most important vaccine film ever made. Finally, we hear the stories of families adversely affected by vaccines told in a compelling and compassionate way. Using film as a medium for social change, THE GREATER GOOD informs, educates and calls to action. It is documentary film at its finest.
Peggy O'Mara
There are many physicians who are witnessing an increasing number of children with complex inflammatory & autoimmune conditions, and are beginning to suspect that vaccines may be playing more of a contributing role in the development of these conditions, than what they were previously led to believe. Nonetheless, these physicians don’t have a safe forum in which they can discuss their concerns. This film, “THE GREATER GOOD,” may be the appropriate medium through which physicians can begin to open up the next phase of dialogue about their growing concerns of vaccine safety & efficacy.
Dr. Larry Palevsky
THE GREATER GOOD is a truly important film, one that finally addresses the nuances of the great vaccine debate of our times. It is a moving and inspiring work that should be required viewing for health care practitioners and families interested in open and honest dialogue about immunizations and public health.
Dr. Larry Rosen
This film captures the essence of the vaccine debate: The benefits of vaccines for individuals as well as for society versus the very small but very real risks of a severe vaccine reaction. Everyone involved in the vaccine issue, from doctors and policymakers to every new parent, must see THE GREATER GOOD
Dr. Bob Sears
Wow. I was so riveted. The family stories were so heart wrenching. It was so well done. I hope this film is watched by many parents.
Dr. Bob Sears
Electrifying.
Jessica
