Boys who have been vaccinated have a 155 percent greater chance of having a neurological disorder, such as ADD, ADHD, Asperger's, PDD-NOS or autism, according to a survey of over 17,000 children commissioned by Generation Rescue.

The survey was conducted because childhood neurological disorders have increased steadily with the rise of vaccinations. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now recommends 36 vaccines for children up to the age of 5, up from 10 vaccines in 1983.

Meanwhile, today one in 13 U.S. children has been diagnosed with ADHD and one in 150 has been diagnosed with autism. In the 1980s, ADHD was almost unheard of and autism was estimated to affect just one in 10,000 children.     

The survey found that vaccinated boys, when compared to unvaccinated boys:

• Were 155 percent more likely to have a neurological disorder
• Were 224 percent more likely to have ADHD
• Were 61 percent more likely to have autism
  

Among boys between the ages of 11-17, vaccinated boys were 158 percent more likely to have a neurological disorder, 317 percent more likely to have ADHD and 112 percent more likely to have autism.

While no differences were noted in girls, Generation Rescue believes it may be due to the fact that boys represent about 80 percent of total cases of neurological disorders.

It seems that the potential dangers of vaccinations are beginning to sink in, as increasing numbers of parents are refusing to get their kids vaccinated. I encourage you to do your homework on this important topic before you make the decision of whether or not to have your children vaccinated.
