Infant Mortality Rates and Vaccine Doses
Author Information
Author(s): Neil Z Miller, Gary S Goldman
Hypothesis
Is there a biochemical or synergistic toxicity associated with the number of vaccine doses given to infants?
Conclusion
The study found a significant correlation between the number of vaccine doses and higher infant mortality rates in various nations.
Supporting Evidence
- The US requires 26 vaccine doses for infants, the most in the world, yet has a high infant mortality rate.
- 33 nations have better infant mortality rates despite requiring fewer vaccine doses.
- Statistical analysis showed a strong correlation between vaccine doses and infant mortality rates.
Takeaway
The more vaccines babies get, the more likely they are to die, according to this study. It suggests that too many vaccines might be harmful.
Methodology
Linear regression analysis was performed on the immunization schedules and infant mortality rates of 34 nations.
Potential Biases
Potential ecological bias and misclassification of infant deaths may affect the results.
Limitations
The study did not adjust for vaccine composition, national vaccine coverage rates, variations in infant mortality rates among minority races, preterm births, differences in reporting live births, or ecological bias.
Participant Demographics
The study analyzed data from 34 nations with varying infant mortality rates and vaccine schedules.
