The short answer is: NO
The reason that this information is vitally important for people to comprehend is that the the vast majority of people – INCLUDING DOCTORS- Assume that these safety studies have been done, and Assume that the evaluations between vaccinated and unvaccinated people have been done, and that the outcomes support vaccination. When you research this topic you’ll find an interesting word gets used a lot by Agencies like the CDC and by Pharmaceutical companies: Presumptive Evidence
Definition of presumptive
Thus statements by the CDC like this one, are vital to comprehend:
Since measles is fatal in about 1 in 10,000 cases and results in permanent injury in about 1 in 80,000 cases,3 a few thousand subjects in clinical trials are not enough to prove that the MMR vaccine causes less death and permanent injury than measles
This is an excellent piece of information for people to review, and to give them a basis to doing their own research about the MMR (and all other) vaccines. For my Steemit readers I’m attaching the JPEGs of the pdf, but you can read and download the pdf for your self from “Physicians for Informed Consent”
