Interested Woman,
You are, indeed, correct -- NO STUDIES have been done on unvaccinated children. I know...I have been doing research re: vaccine safety issues for over a decade, as our son is vaccine injured (stated in his medical files as well).
I asked our son's mainstream pediatrician at one point, just why they hadn't conducted any tests re: unvaccinated vs. vaccinated children, and he actually tried to tell me that 'they couldn't, as there just aren't enough unvaccinated children to use.' Bull hockey -- there are plenty of unvaccinated children they could use for this research -- but the CDC, etc., won't test this group because they KNOW what the data would show.
Well, push is now coming to shove and soon, the powers that be in this country WILL HAVE to start studying the unvaccinated children because they will be forced to -- forced to by huge groups of angry parents, and well educated parents at that, who are demanding some answers as to why their once healthy and thriving children are no longer able to speak and/or function as they once did, prior to having received vaccinations (at or around the age of 18 months).
Here are some quotes from a website I have found, with the link to it after the quotes:
"I have not seen autism with the Amish," said Dr. Frank Noonan, a family practitioner in Lancaster County, Pa., who has treated thousands of Amish for a quarter-century. "You'll find all the other stuff, but we don't find the autism. We're right in the heart of Amish country and seeing none, and that's just the way it is."
"In Chicago, Homefirst Medical Services treats thousands of never-vaccinated children whose parents received exemptions through Illinois' relatively permissive immunization policy. Homefirst's medical director, Dr. Mayer Eisenstein, told us he is not aware of any cases of autism in never-vaccinated children; the national rate is 1 in 175, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "We have a fairly large practice," Eisenstein told us. "We have about 30,000 or 35,000 children that we've taken care of over the years, and I don't think we have a single case of autism in children delivered by us who never received vaccines. "We do have enough of a sample," Eisenstein said. "The numbers are too large to not see it. We would absolutely know. We're all family doctors. If I have a child with autism come in, there's no communication. It's frightening. You can't touch them. It's not something that anyone would miss."
"Dr. Jeff Bradstreet, a Florida family practitioner with ties to families who homeschool their children for religious reasons, told Age of Autism he has proposed such a study in that group. "I said I know I can tap into this community and find you large numbers of unvaccinated homeschooled," said Bradstreet, "and we can do simple prevalence and incidence studies in them, and my gut reaction is that you're going to see no autism in this group."

"I observed that my unvaccinated children were healthier, hardier and more robust than their vaccinated peers. Allergies, asthma and pallor and behavioral and attentional disturbances were clearly more common in my young patients who were vaccinated. My unvaccinated patients, on the other hand, did not suffer from infectious diseases with any greater frequency or severity than their vaccinated peers: their immune systems generally handled these challenges very well."--Incao's Hepatitis B Vaccination Testimony
"The conclusion of the research report was:
Children who received all of the AAP recommended vaccinations were 14 times more likely to become learning disabled and 8 times more likely to become autistic compared with children who were never vaccinated." Donald Meserlian, P.E., VOSI Chairman & ASTM Member March 2002
