Senate Hearing Unveils Study: Vaccinated Children More Likely to Develop Autoimmune and Chronic Disorders

Senator Ron Johnson chaired a Senate hearing today that included new details from a “robust, retrospective vaccinated vs. unvaccinated comparative study” that shows better health outcomes for the unvaccinated cohort. The study was conducted in 2020, but hasn’t been officially released or shared until today. Aaron Siri, Esq., lead attorney for the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN), testified at the Senate hearing and presented the study’s findings, revealing that the vaccinated cohort had more than 3 times the rate of chronic illness compared to the unvaccinated cohort.

The study was conducted by Dr. Marcus Zervos, who agreed to do the study after speaking with Siri and ICAN CEO Del Bigtree, who convinced the doctor that conducting the study would be a way to “shut the anti-vaxxers up,” Siri explained during his Senate testimony. Siri shared some of the key results of the study showing the vaccinated groups had 5.53 times higher rate of neurodevelopmental disorders and 5.96 times higher rate of autoimmune disorders compared to the unvaccinated group. The vaccinated group was also three times more likely to have atopic disease and more than four times more likely to have asthma. All of the findings were statistically significant.

After 10 years, 17% of the unvaccinated group had a chronic health condition compared to 57% of the vaccinated group, who had at least one chronic health condition, but often had multiple, according to Siri’s testimony.

“The only real problem with this study and why it didn’t get submitted for publication is that its findings did not fit the belief and the policy that vaccines are safe,” Siri said. “Had it found that vaccinated children were healthier, it no doubt would have been published immediately. But because it found the opposite, it was shoved in a drawer.”

The study included 16,000 kids in the vaccinated group and 2,000 kids in the unvaccinated group. Siri explained that the relative rates were calculated in the findings he presented. In addition to higher rates of autoimmune disorders and neurodevelopmental disorders, Siri said there were several other conditions that had numerous cases in the vaccinated group and zero in the unvaccinated group. This includes brain dysfunction, ADHD, learning disability, intellectual disability, and ticks.

Two other expert witnesses testified at the hearing, including Toby Rogers, PhD and Jake Scott, MD. Scott refuted the validity of the study, alleging there was selection bias. Scott suggested that vaccinated children are more likely to seek medical care, so conditions are more likely to be undiagnosed in the unvaccinated group.

Siri refuted Scott’s point about the validity of the study and said the selection bias that Dr. Scott alleges is refuted by the design of the study’s authors, who were attempting to prove the safety of the childhood vaccination schedule. Siri said the vaccinated group sought medical care an average of seven times in the calendar year compared to two times per year in the unvaccinated group.

Siri explained that the unvaccinated group is healthier and doesn’t have to seek medical care nearly as often. He said the 17% of the unvaccinated group that had a chronic health condition sought medical care an average of five times. Siri also explained that the medical conditions evaluated in the study are serious medical conditions. “If your child has a serious medical condition, you’re going to a doctor. That’s what these study authors pointed out,” Siri said.

Senator Johnson asked Siri about Dr. Scott’s claim that the Henry Ford study was “flawed by design.” Siri said, “It was actually designed to reach a conclusion on safety. That’s what makes it flawed.” Siri began to explain the flaws of the aluminum study that Dr. Scott called “rigorous” when Senator Johnson brought it back to the “scientific gem” that vaccines have saved 154 million lives.

Siri said the study conducted by the WHO was a marketing tactic that is not based on real data and has no confidence interval. “It actually is the epitome of corruption in science,” Siri said. “While the Henry Ford study is based on actual data, medical records, immunization registry – this study is just based on guesswork and assumptions.”

Siri read from the WHO study that claims vaccines saved 154 million lives. He read, “It cannot put bounds around the veracity of the estimates. Any bounds are arbitrary. It should not be interpreted as a claim to where the edges of valid estimates possibly lie.”

“What that means is it could be equally true that 200 million lives were lost because of the vaccine program,” Siri explained. “It’s an unbounded estimate. That is the corruption of science. It gets worse from there. When you actually look at the hard data, the number makes no sense. Almost the entirety of the 154 million lives saved comes down to two vaccines. DTP and measles vaccine. The studies that look at DTP vaccine show that it causes far more mortality than lives saved. The seminal studies showed that the kids who got DTP died at 10x the rate than kids who did not get that vaccine.”

Siri then began to explain that the study authors attributed 40% of the decline in measles mortality to the vaccine, but referenced CDC data and UK data that 99% of the measles mortality drop occurred before the first vaccine was available in 1963. Siri said, when you use that number and account for the deaths caused by the DTP vaccine, “you’re upside down.”

Siri also explained that people who don’t get the measles and mumps are twice as likely to die after 20 years from heart disease. “That’s not me saying that. I’m just a lawyer, as Senator Blumenthal pointed out. That’s what the studies show,” Siri said. “They’re an inconvenient truth. When you lay out that data as well, it’s really upside down.”

A documentary on this study titled “An Inconvenient Study” will be released on Friday October 3 by ICAN.
