As linked to earlier in the thread, the actual trend appears to be:
The lifetime prevalence of diseases preventable by vaccination was markedly higher in unvaccinated than in vaccinated subjects
(this time entirely using KiGGS data, and teasing out the differing groups of vaccinated/unvaccinated kids).
The question is not vaccine preventable diseases.
If you look at the article you linked to,
The lifetime prevalence of at least one atopic disease:
1 - to 5-year-olds was 12.6% (5.0%–28.3%) in unvaccinated children and 15.0% (13.6%–16.4%) in vaccinated children.
6- to 10-yearolds, the prevalence figures were 30.1% (12.9%–55.8%) for unvaccinated children versus 24.4% (22.8%–26.0%) for vaccinated children,
11- to 17-year-olds were 20.3% (10.1%–36.6%) versus 29.9% (28.4%–31.5%).
Unless I am reading that wrong, 1-5 year old and 11-17 year old unvaccinated children have a lower rate of illness then vaccinated children.
Keep in mind, we are talking about non-vaccine preventable conditions and diseases.
~~ EDIT ~~
In the above link, go to page 101 and look at figure 2, except in the 6 - 10 year olds, unvaccinated children had a lower rate of illnesses then vaccinated children.
