Do vaccines increase or decrease the number of children who die in the first year of life? Two researchers set out to answer this question. You'll never guess what happened next.

Great stuff!
As a nerd spectator, I love it when "my" nerd team lands an odds ratio blow to the goolies. That's basically what the entire "Turtles all the way down" book is about.
IMO, the knockout blow is not in the deaths, but in the injuries. It is hard for most people to care about dead babies, especially if their own kids survived the jab Russian Roulette. Yet somehow they can manage to care about test scores and behavioural problems. (https://childrenshealthdefense.org/wp-content/uploads/Vaxxed-Unvaxxed-Parts-I-XII.pdf)
Thanks for a great article, I find the work of Christine Stabell Benn fascinating, she could hardly be called an anti vaxxer but her research indicates that most vaccines increase all cause mortality
Christine Stabell Benn is a physician, a professor at the University of Southern Denmark, and a vaccine researcher with almost thirty years of experience in the field. The focus of her research is non-specific vaccine effects, i.e. all those other effects, both positive and negative, that vaccines have on our immune systems and overall health, beyond their very specific ability to protect against one infectious disease.
What she's found over the course of her research is that the overall effect on mortality varies greatly depending on whether a vaccine is "live" (i.e. contains a weakened but still complete version of the pathogen) or "non-live" (i.e. only contains a small part of the pathogen it's supposed to protect against).
Live vaccines tend to be associated with a reduction in overall mortality that goes far beyond the protection they offer against the specific pathogen. Non-live vaccines, on the other hand, actually seem to increase overall mortality, so that whatever benefit they provide against a specific pathogen is outweighed by their negative overall health effects. This matters, because there has been a trend over the last few decades to replace live vaccines with non-live vaccines.
Unfortunately, when randomized trials of vaccines are run, they usually only look at the ability to protect against a specific pathogen, and thus fail to answer whether the vaccine provides an overall health benefit or not. Vaccine trials are also usually too short, because non-specific vaccine effects can last for years or in some cases even decades.
Ah, Pearson's r and p values - takes me back to the stats modules of my Psych degree. Not to forget the Spearman rho and multiple analysis of variance and the glorious chi-square test which I tried to use for everything because tit was the easiest - and I have lived to tell the tale of my close encounters with statistical testing.
Just like I appear to have survived my close encounters with the then childhood vaccination schedule in the mid 1950s when, although my memory is a bit fuzzy, it was basically the DPT, measles and mumps and polio shots that were the only ones on the list. Now, I have even given up my loyalty to the annual flu jab, too, thanks to the 'Covid' nonsense.

If vaccines were good there would be no need for mandates, propaganda, censorship of dissenting views and legal immunity to manufacturers.

awesome , easy to follow article Robyn. !! shared widely already.
Brilliant article, can't wait for the knockout punch, get rid of all the toxic shots!

Many thanks for the article.
Thank you for the excellent extremely thorough article!
