Sharyl Atkisson has a great website linking to so much vaccine study information. As I recall, she links to studies showing evidence that vaccines do cause autism.
That first woke me up to the danger of vaccines. I read two corporate media articles and followed all their links to all these studies supposedly proving vaccines don't cause autism. I read each study and they proved no such thing.
Sharyl is great. I got all her Tshirts and wear them all the time. She dares take on the heavyweights with a silken glove, throughout all the scamdemic her site was up and her youtubes stayed. She has an excellent one, about 7 or 8 years old, of how people are fooled and gaslighted. A real must see
As you say, "neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorders, have a complex biological and medical basis involving diverse genetic risk and myriad environmental exposures." That is why the $cience was so confident no one can catch it in the act and attribute, 100%, the blame to the jabs. Until this happened. Not that other stuff doesn't matter and can't cause it too. But it proves that the jabs play an oversized role. Also: https://x.com/CartlandDavid/status/1712751623695425764
Not sure if you're familiar with her, but Catherine Austin Fitts over at solari.com has made mention of this (tho she is primarily interested in finance topics). But it *is* financial as autism creates a lifelong patient with difficulty treating it, let alone "curing" anything. This would run into the millions over one's lifetime, between lost wages for the parents or the person afflicted, and medical costs. The massive increases in incidents of autism should be the argument against it being strictly genetic as we're talking about it being largely unknown in the 1960s to being, what, 1 out of 144 kids nowadays? The shots schedule for kids is so much more than it used to be. I'm glad me and my kids got out unscathed, but far too many are not.
Hello, Andreas. Great information. The ScienceTM is, of course, continually proving itself to be Totally Malicious.
And this post comes as an interesting synchronicity to me. Yesterday I listened to an alternative 'energy' healer, Annie Boerner, for the first time. Her history is interesting in that her 'wake-up' event was the transformation of her 1 year old son from being fully engaged and already learning to speak to severe autistic within 24hrs of receiving the set of CA required vaccines at the time. She *knew* it was the injections. That got her looking at ways to heal her son. In the process she when full tilt alt and eventually did heal her son using frequencies and likely other methodologies. Her learning and the eventual healing of her son took a long time, although she may have quicker results now that her part of the learning journey is at a very highly functional level.
I haven't asked her about sharing this with you (I don't know her), although she is publicly advertising on her web-page:
Obviously the jabs poison and damage the child's body, but I suspect there may be a way to heal it in some cases. As the jabs drop the immune system to the floor, the dormant bacteria and viruses may jump on the occasion. For treating nasty bacteria, berberine could be helpful. Microbiota: ivermectin and fenbendazole. Viruses: ivermectin, fenbendazole, and BHT? Quantum energy? We are all quantum energy. God is quantum energy. But try directing it - easier said than done, IMHO.
I've heard of chelation therapy as well (heavy metal poisoning), maybe Rife machine too. There is also something called Gut And Psychology Syndrome [GAPS]. Apparently a lot of autistics have a leaky gut so there is a GAPS diet to help that, or at least not make it any worse. All of the things you mentioned would be helpful as well, with little risk.
Read Turtles all the Way Down. All of the "scientific" studies are rigged, biased, and using specific methodologies in order to find all of their poisons to be "safe and effective."
We saw the process unfold in front of us with Covid. That's why I, personally, became suspicious, alerted, alarmed, and outraged, in that order, since 2020.

I think it is more accurate to say that vaccines "can" cause autism rather than "do" cause. This is to avoid the argument that many children get vaccinated and they don't all become autistic. At the same time, it's important not to deny at all that vaccines do cause autism in some children; and it's evident from the complete change in behaviour such as your piece described. I've heard parents say it's like blinds come down over their eyes and they no longer make eye contact, etc.
On the other hand, if the vaccines literally obliterate some children, we wonder how much subclinical damage is done to the rest. Like that subclinical myocarditis post Covid jabs that kills a pilot 2 years down the road in mid-flight...
I completely agree with you. I believe vaccines (ie injecting toxic substances directly into one's bloodstream) are harmful to a child or in fact any individual's health and compromises their general immunity on levels that may not be evident immediately. My point was really about how to argue in a more exact way so that we don't get shot down immediately.
"...we wonder how much subclinical damage is done to the rest."
No doubt in my mind that "autism" is on a spectrum. I'm convinced that the majority of Americans suffer from some degree of vaccine injury plus exposure to anthropogenic environmental toxins. How else to explain the shocking amounts of ignorance, hostility, and apathy all around us?
Dr Chris Exley's stack is about aluminum poisoning. He lost funding for research then his job. Maybe someone didn't like his hypothesis or conclusions?
Can't remember the name off the cuff, but there was a Canadian doctor, videos about, who said the infants and children were getting micro clots, causing mild strokes which left cildren with crooked smiles or different eye positions, these afflictions coming from vaxxines. They didn't like what he was saying and he was suicided - fairly young man too. Maybe he was author? :-(
the book I read was by Forrest Maready, but someone remarked indeed, htat he based the book on the work of dr. Andrew Moulden. I have been unable so far to find dr. Mouldens books. I suppose they have been out of print, and since he is dead, did not get reprinted. Shame.
Kirsch did a poll. If other factors cause autism then there would be examples of kids becoming autistic overnight BEFORE vaccination and not just after. It’s not a known phenomenon and he couldn’t find parents or healthcare workers that could attest to such event. There are lots of issues with glyphosate but unvaccinated kids are not known to have measurable rates of autism. The studies being referenced have been carefully dissected by Atty Aaron Siri (CHD) and also in the book, The End of Autism. All the studies are extremely limited and flawed.
With all due respect to Steve Kirsch, no one (most) would vaccinate their child the next day after the child turned autistic- they would be running through specialists 1st? But three siblings turning autistic on the day of the jab - that is incontrovertible, in my eyes. Of course the $cience will dismiss this a well. They are handsomely paid to do that. But the rest of us must take note and come up with conclusions and the corresponding actions. The 1st thing first - stop jabbing your kids with harmful substances and don't swallow BS served to you by your friendly pediatrician - they are not your friends!
Drawing a blank on the Drs last name, first name Paul. Pediatrician who looked at his patient records. His conclusion those that are fully vaxxed are definitely sicker than those not, incl autism.
It isn’t just autism either. My grandson was hitting all the developmental milestones. His birth weight was at the 65th percentile and he was still at the 65th percentile at his first checkup at about 10 weeks.
He got his first round of shots at that checkup.
He is almost 3 now and still has not doubled his weight from the 10 week checkup. His growth rate fell off the charts completely. He is now way below the 5th percentile.
They killed his pituitary gland where all the growth hormones are produced.
He still doesn’t talk at all either, just to ice the cake. There will never be another vax of any kind in our family.
I’d give anything if we could turn back the clock and learn about vaxes just a little earlier.
Within 6 months of his damage, I’d seen enough of the Covid vax corruption to start looking into the childhood vax schedule. I was just a little too late. 😢
People always look back at history and think "ha, ha, what were they doing taking mercury pills?! that's crazy! glad I live in the scientific modern age!" but it turns out we've just kept being crazy.
I was diagnosed with ASD (Aspergers, for the record, before it was put under the larger umbrella, since if you were "high functioning" enough it was technically sort of a separate diagnosis) "late". Meaning as a kid in high school. A while back I used to sniff around autistic support groups or whatever you want to call them, and long story short, it's like they presented the idea that this "conspiracy theory" was an attack on ASD individuals somehow. As if being able to explain why we were the why we were was somehow a bad thing. I didn't stick around specifically autistic "support" groups or anything else or actively seek out discussions with other autistic people because I always hated how hug box-y everything was. What I wanted were ways to have less friction with society despite my setbacks but that wasn't what I found there.
All that to say, I think the strong reaction against the idea there could be a link is two-fold. Vaccines seem to have a special place amongst medical treatments in that you're not "allowed" to question them or not want them. They're ubiquitous. Many ASD/"neurodivergent" people/"communities" are actively in to the idea that ASD is just another way to be "normal" and that anyone trying to get better or find out what's causing it is "bad", "ableist", etc. It's odd. It's like trying to tell someone with only one leg that having only one leg is *just* as good as having two despite that person clearly being aware have both their legs functional is the ideal and that having only one presents challenges and difficulties in their life they otherwise wouldn't.
A lot of people also "self-diagnose" for some strange reason so that could be why the numbers seem inflated. I think another contributing factor is the idea of "being turned socially autistic" which I think is a legit thing. I didn't used to think it was. But I think some people do not legit have a developmental issue but have essentially been "trained" through lack of proper socialization growing up and/or extended toddlerhood (to put it politely) to.
Messy reply, but I hope it adds something. People overlook the medical industry as being, well, an industry. If you can convince people they need something "for their health" or even better "for public health" then there is no end to the demand, all that's left is to profit off of being the supply.
"Many ASD/"neurodivergent" people/"communities" are actively in to the idea that ASD is just another way to be "normal" and that anyone trying to get better or find out what's causing it is "bad", "ableist", etc. "
Sorry that this is a bit off-topic, but Dr. John Campbell, who appeared to have been red-pilled on the COVID shots, just put up a post called "I want this vaccine." It's about some new vaccine. I didn't watch much of it because, as a non-expert, I wasn't sure how to evaluate it. Have you or anyone on this site heard of this and is it possible it's not bogus like all other vaccines (or fake vaccines?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCIJmacFaqs
Yes, Andreas is correct. Most of the other ingredients are designed to cause a strong immune reaction in the body, so that the body will code the intended target (measles, COVID, etc.) as something to be attacked and create pre-emptive antibodies. This is the reason so many people have peanut allergies now--peanut oil is used in a lot of the childhood vaccines, and many kids then become immuno-reactive to it. The problem, obviously, is that some children are never able to detox from all the toxins they were just exposed to, and on top of that, the "pre-emptive antibodies" are no guarantee that they will never get the intended target disease anyway! Whenever we do have measles outbreaks, for example, a bunch of measles-vaxxed people will get it and spread it, too.
Yet the narrative is that the unvaccinated are somehow causing the vaccinated to get sick. Much like Tinkerbell who will die if even a single child fails to clap, a single unvaccinated person can disable the vaccinations of all the rest, or so The Science™ assures us. One can only presume the miraculous god-stuff becomes offended at the very existence of an unvaccinated person and, enraged at the idea of a single person rejecting its inestimable gift, takes its immunity ball and goes home.

Genetic, really? Why would genetics collapse in the last 4 decades? Inbreeding of colossal proportions in America?
Sarcasm!
I think it’s closer to 1 in 50 kids these days, perhaps even 1 in 30.
Jesus Christ.
Maybe even more after/with the childhood Covid jabs.

It has to be something because autism has increased dramatically over the years. What about the Amish? I heard their numbers have not gone up.
Likely they don't use glyphosate or grow GMOs, and they mostly do not quackcinate.

What a gut-wrenching, heartbreaking way to describe what literally happened.
Has any vaccine provider ever been forced to testify as to why these "ingredients" are in their shots?
For added reactogenicity, of course. I.e., to poison you "slightly". "Slightly" for some turns out to much more than some others can ever take.
Yes, Andreas is correct. Most of the other ingredients are designed to cause a strong immune reaction in the body, so that the body will code the intended target (measles, COVID, etc.) as something to be attacked and create pre-emptive antibodies.
