Does anyone know when vaccines began? We didn't always have them. There would be fewer cases of these illnesses before the cause of them came along....naturally. Perhaps if we compared our vaccine records in a database here at neruotalk [easier said then done - or already been done elsewhere? ] Just thinking out loud. Also indicate whether we are the first generation to have the illness and include all of the above illnesses that have active forums here.

Would something like that yield anything with validity? Our school system might be able to tell us the requirements for when we started school, then we would know what we were given if we have no records or parents are deceased. IF we weren't vaccinated, I would assume we might know that about ourselves?

Adding that control group would be those who were not vaccinated?
