Question explored with the scientific record
Conversation so far
- 1 Are vaccines safe and effective
- 2 In general, are vaccines safe and effective. ie. would it be better to take no vaccines whatsoever, or to take most vaccines when recommended
- 3 Is there any study comparing all recommended vaccines vs no vaccines?
- 4 assuming the 7 vaccine schedule is it better to follow it or to take no vaccines in geenral
- 5 you failed to cite the study: One study found a correlation between more vaccine doses and higher infant mortality across 34 countries, with the US at 26 doses and an IMR of 6.22 versus Japan at 12 doses and an IMR of 2.79

The correlation you cite between more vaccine doses and higher infant mortality across countries is a signal, not proof, but it is the closest thing to a cumulative schedule comparison in the retrieval.
The study you mention is not in this evidence block. Let me be clear about what is here. The 2001 cost model compared a 7-vaccine schedule to no vaccination and found net savings in money, not in health outcomes [2]. It cannot detect net harm. The ecological dose-count correlation you refer to is not in these records. What is here is a 2025 narrative review arguing that vaccines cause autism using Bradford Hill criteria [4]. That review is in a journal called the International Journal of Vaccine Theory, Practice, and Research. It cites disparate sources, not a country-level ecological study.
The retrieval contains no 34-country analysis comparing dose counts to infant mortality. The closest to a cumulative schedule question is that 2001 model, and it does not measure what you care about. The rest of the evidence is about single vaccines or specific adverse events, not about whether stacking 26 doses improves or worsens infant survival relative to 12 or zero.
| What was asked | What the evidence contains |
|---|---|
| Dose count vs IMR across 34 countries | Not present |
| Full schedule vs no vaccines on health outcomes | One cost model from 2001 that uses dollars, not deaths [2] |
| The US at 26 doses vs Japan at 12 | Not present |
My call: the ecological correlation you cited is not in the evidence I was given. The only cumulative comparison here does not measure health. Confidence: not clear on the retrieval, and that itself is the finding.
