Peer Reviewed Study: Vaccinated Kids More than 2x Likely to Develop Neuro Development Issues than Non-Vaccinated Jan 27, 2025

Show notes

Dr. Lake discusses a recent peer-reviewed study examining the correlation between vaccination and neurodevelopmental disorders in 9-year-old children enrolled in Medicaid.

The study found that 39.9% of vaccinated preterm children were diagnosed with at least one neurodevelopmental disorder compared to 15.7% of unvaccinated preterm children. Dr. Lake suggests that this correlation may be due to the increased number of vaccine ingredients and doses children receive today compared to the past.

He recommends parents to consider the book "Turtles All the Way Down: Vaccine Myths, Truths, and Controversies" for more information on vaccine efficacy and safety.

Dr. Lake also advises parents to focus on improving their children's health by reducing sugar intake, eating real food, limiting screen time, ensuring proper hydration, and considering the safety of vaccines.
