Oh huh.

I thought that that graph was misleading because the number of patients was different between the two groups, but nope, this is after adjusting for that.

Figure 5. Analysis 5. Cumulative office visits in the vaccinated (orange) vs. unvaccinated (blue) patients born into the practice: the clarity of the age-specific differences in the health fates of individuals who are vaccinated (2763) compared to the 561 unvaccinated in patients born into the practice over ten years is most strikingly clear in this comparison of the cumulative numbers of diagnoses in the two patient groups. The number of office visits for the unvaccinated is adjusted by a sample size multiplier factor (4.9) to the expected value as if the number of unvaccinated in the study was the same as the number of vaccinated.

(emp. added)

One thing that is missing from said graphs that would be interesting is, well, the intended targets. Namely, the same graphs for the specific diseases that the vaccines in question were targeted for.

I'd still say the difference is likely because a person who avoids vaccination is less likely to go to a doctor for any reason, especially not conditions that lack physical symptoms like adhd

That is an interesting and plausible cofounder.

Any ideas how to compensate for that? (Barring e.g. life expectancy... which given DOB >2008 will take quite a while to become apparent.)

I don't think there is a surefire way to account for that.

Unfortunately, I suspect you are correct.

Twin studies are the classic response there, but even they have issues.
