Senator Durbin has been for DECADES at the forefront of the attempts to destroy alternative medicine and supplements in the USA. TOP OF THE LIST. You have a really bad and bought out evil political representing you. Not much you can do here considering the ignorance of your BLUE BLUE state, similar to mine.

Typo. Thank you Doug. My bet is that the UNVAXXED will have less morbidity and mortality.

Thank you again.

There is no doubt that studies that compare all health outcomes of the vaccinated compared with the unvaccinated will answer the question once and for all. James Lyons-

Weiler and I published that very study of real-world data (every one of my patients born into my practice over a 10-year period). https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/17/22/8674/pdf

Adjusted for sample size, so we were comparing apples to apples here is what we found:

5-8X (500 - 800%) more eczema, asthma, and allergic rhinitis in the vaccinated

6X (600%) more behavioral issues in the vaccinated.

Infinitely more ADHD (none was found in the unvaccinated)

2 - 3X (200-300%) more ear infections, respiratory infections, eye infections, all infections in the vaccinated. That's right... the more vaccinated you are the more infections you get!

More autism in the vaccinated.

Every major health system is sitting on the data. All they need to do is find all the unvaccinated in their population and compare them to the age matched vaccinated and look at all health outcomes.

Thank you for putting that here. I remember this report coming out and wa heartbroken when it was taken down.

Your study was great! I remember going through it closely. Some thoughts:

1) Any idea why autism rate was lower in your practice? Maybe people who go to an integrative clinic are less likely to go places where they would pick up an autism diagnosis? Or would have the person needing to have diagnosed them been yourself? And if so, do you think you had a lower propensity to diagnose than others?

2) A suggestion to reduce bias if you ever rehash your data: Only analyze oldest children - assuming there are enough. In younger siblings, parents have already observed issues with the older siblings that the younger siblings would be likely to also have, which could lead to more healthy user bias.

3) Perhaps such observations could even be a cause of enrolling younger sibliigs in your practice? But in that case we might have expected higher (not lower) autism prevalence. As a test of this bias, I'd be very curious to simply know the rate of having an older sibling in each of the two groups.

4) Your paper doesn't seem to discuss preterm children. I would love to know hte overall prevalence, some rough subgroup analysis if there are enough children - however sparse the data may be, and also if parents are concentrating preterm children in the unvaccinated group (i.e. another possible sign of healthy user bias). Also I wonder what study could be done to see if vaccinations during pregnancy cause preterm birth. If memory serves, existing studies on that question say no, but they don't have your unique patient population.

5) I would love to hear your general anecdotal experience of how often parents expressed vaccine concerns based on negative vaccine or health experiences with their older siblings. And conversely, did parents ever express concerns about choosing the unvaccinated route based on negative experiences of an older sibling having been unvaccinated? I would also love to know what kind of vaccine attitudes parents anecdotally expressed when their child was preterm. And also if parents ever anecdotally expressed concern that vaccination during pregnancy harmed their child or caused preterm birth.

Just a wish list!

Once again, the voice crying out in the wilderness can get you beheaded which in essence you have gone through figuratively, albeit in more modern times. In my 80 years, I have never seen so many willing to decieve for the sake of enriching themselves with money and power.

take courage, your voice has not gone unheard by those seeking health and truth.

Dr. Rowan, with regard to your bet, I believe there was a typo:

"I openly offer a bet here giving 4:1 odds on $10,000 that such a study would show that the vaccinated have LESS overall deaths over 10 years, AND less overall morbidity (which includes medical issues like allergy, asthma, eczema, arthritis, NDD, sudden deaths, possibly transgenderism, and more)."

I believe you meant to type "the UNvaccinated" here, correct?

I'm just trying to save you $10k...

I have just received a letter from IL Senator in replay to my request to support RFK Jr.’ nomination. I appreciate his response but it does not look good for RFK Jr. or IL residents who want medical freedom. Here is his response if your are interested:

Dear Ms. Dabrowska:

Thank you for contacting me about President Trump’s nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to serve as Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). I appreciate hearing from you.

The role of HHS Secretary is among the most consequential appointments a president can make, as the position entails directing 13 federal agencies, including the National Institutes of Health, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Food and Drug Administration. These agencies uphold our nation’s health care system, regulate food and prescription drug safety, protect the public from infectious disease outbreaks, and conduct biomedical research on diseases and conditions affecting families across the world.

Mr. Kennedy is the founder and chair of Children’s Health Defense, a non-profit organization that has faced criticism for sharing misleading health information related to the safety and efficacy of vaccines, and undermining life-saving public health measures. With no formal training in medicine, Mr. Kennedy has leveraged Children’s Health Defense to promote his own vision for public health, which diverges from well-established science, undermines long-standing safety regulations, and sidelines decades of research and evidence.

I am deeply concerned by some of the irresponsible views he has expressed, which lack scientific evidence, such as calling for removing fluoride from water and casting doubt on the importance of life-saving vaccines for children. He would bring a prejudice and bias to the position of HHS Secretary and has set his sights on antagonizing and dismantling our health agencies, with plans to terminate hundreds of employees and halt scientific research currently underway. This would be unprecedented and have devastating and potentially deadly repercussions for the American public, particularly children.

While I may agree with Mr. Kennedy’s views in some areas, that does not make him qualified for a cabinet position with such responsibility. And under the guise of concern for the health of young children and adults, many of his solutions for legitimate issues are nothing more than quack science. Spreading false and misleading health information should be considered disqualifying for this position.

On January 29, 2025, the Senate Committee on Finance is scheduled to hold a hearing to consider Mr. Kennedy's nomination. On January 30, 2025, the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions is scheduled to hold a hearing to consider Mr. Kennedy's nomination. I am not a member of these committees, but I will be watching these hearings closely.

Mr. Kennedy is entirely unqualified to lead our federal health programs. This position has life and death consequences, and the American people deserve a Secretary with stances rooted in fact. I will keep your views in mind should his nomination reach the Senate Floor.

Thank you again for contacting me. Please feel free to keep in touch.

Sincerely,

Richard J. Durbin

United States Senator

Mark this senator as another big pharma shill. As are (undoubtedly) the two senators in California.

Tar and feathers. Burning at the stake. The guillotine. Need I say more?

The other day I saw I think it was on a local NBC affiliate news program in Miami, they were talking about the upcoming Cabinet nominations and when they mentioned RFK Jr. the female newscaster said he has espoused vaccine conspiracies. Not even skepticism, nor that he was a whistleblower, but conspiracies. I think they are subconsciously editorializing based on their biases.
