Do Vaccines Cause Asthma ?
« on: 09/10/2022 20:47:23 »
This is a question that has been asked for quite a while and the answer has been confirmed funded by A CDC study.

Here is a brief summary.

Though the study’s authors tried their best to minimize the link, they were unable to sidestep a “positive association” between “vaccine-related aluminum exposure” and “persistent asthma” in children aged 24-59 months. Overall, children in the study who received 3 milligrams (mg) or more of vaccine-related aluminum had a 36 percent higher risk than children who took other vaccines to develop persistent asthma

Note that a true vaccine-free placebo was not used in the study so as to make aluminum appear less damaging than it actually is. Had the study authors compared vaccinated children to unvaccinated children, the health risks associated with aluminum exposure would have been even more striking.

 CDC did not use a true placebo for comparison, and also used the least offensive hazards ratio in the study’s abstract so as to make aluminum appear much less dangerous.

“A true comparison should be [done] between the maximum aluminum exposure at 2 years of age (which is about 4 mg total injected aluminum adjuvant) and a zero-exposure group,” Hooker is quoted as saying.

“In the paper I did with Neil Miller (SAGE Open Medicine, 2020), we saw an odds ratio of 4.49 (statistically significant) for asthma in vaccinated children versus unvaccinated children. This was limited to vaccines in the first year of life. The CDC seems to be confirming my results here.”

How would you know that?

If you want people to take you seriously, you will have to provide meaningful answers to questions.

From that PDF:

Considering the small effect size observed and the limitations described above, particularly related to unmeasured confounding, these findings do not constitute strong evidence for questioning the safety of aluminum in vaccines.
