Autism has skyrocketed. Fifty years ago the rate was 1 in 10,000. In the 1980’s rates began to increase to about 1 in 5,000. As of 2020, 1 in every 36 children has autism in the United States. That means there is a 3% chance you child will have autism. Many studies have shown that preterm birth, birth weight and males are all at greater risk. The average cost to support an autistic child over a lifetime is $2.4 million dollars.
Two FDA scientists conducted a study to determine the “changepoint” time frame in which autism really exploded. Determining the “changepoint” could shed light on a possible environmental trigger. Three studies met the needed criteria to enter the study: California, Japan, and Denmark. Not only did the data point to a “changepoint” for each country, but each country had similar results: the late 1980’s. What environmental events occurred to a large number of children in Japan, Denmark and the US (California) in the late 1980’s? link
Approved in 1986, the United States added the Hep B vaccine and the Hib vaccine by 1989, while also recommending a second dose of the MMR (the 70’s and 80’s only had one dose). Denmark introduced the MMR in 1987 and Japan in 1989. In 1989, Merck also changed the mumps formula, increasing the mumps antigen in the vaccine by 4x.
First Vaccine Injected at Birth
This would be the first time in the history of the world, we’d inject newborns- breathing for only a few minutes newborns- with the Hep B aluminum vaccine. This vaccine must have had a safety profile of the highest caliber.
Merck’s Recombivax was approved for the entire United States pediatric population after testing it on 147 children, up to the age of 10 years old, in a 3 dose series, with observation only extending for 5 days after each dose. The vaccine is currently given at birth, 2 mo and 6 months.
You can read more about the safety profile that warns of sleep apnea for babies (aka, SIDS), risks of administration to infants less than 4.5 lbs, and serious delayed side effects like autoimmune diseases. ( See section 4. contraindications, 5 warnings and precautions, 6. adverse reactions 6.2 post marketing experience -symptoms that develop after the 5 days). Details of the clinical trials in section 7, discusses clinical trials of another Hep B. vaccine, Recombinant, that is no longer licensed and had terrible delayed reactions captured in 6.2).
The aluminum Hib vaccine is given at 2, 4, 6 and 12-15 months.
“Vaccines Do Not Cause Autism” – CDC, a conclusion drawn from one ingredient and one vaccine
CDC states that there is no link or association between vaccines and autism. If we look closer at that statement, CDC often sites 27 studies, to prove there is no association between autism and vaccines. If you read the studies, 13 of the studies focus on the ingredient thimerosal/mercury, 10 studies focus on the MMR vaccine, and 4 studies are a meta-analysis of those 23 studies. So, in the end, CDC bases its conclusion off of one ingredient and one vaccine (MMR).
CDC states that “no links have been found between any vaccine ingredients and ASD.” It’s pretty difficult to find a link if studies haven’t been conducted. Below shows the rigorous testing to determine if vaccines are related to autism.
The current vaccines your child will receive before the age of 4 are listed below. Vaccines highlighted in BOLD are the vaccines CDC has studied and based their conclusion that autism is NOT associated with vaccines. Hep B (3 doses), Hib (4 doses), polio (5 doses), MMR (2 doses), rotavirus (3 doses), Pneumococcal PCV13 (4 doses), DTaP (5 doses), chickenpox (2 doses), Hep A (2 doses), flu shot (annual).
The ingredients in vaccines your child will receive intramuscularly are list below. The ingredients CDC has studied and based their conclusion that autism is NOT associated with vaccines are in BOLD. Vaccine ingredients: yeast protein, formaldehyde, potassium aluminum sulfate, aluminum hydroxide, amorphous aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulfate (AAHS), aluminum phosphate, sodium chloride, sodium borate, sodium citrate, sodium phosphate monobasic monohydrate, sodium hydroxide, sodium phosphate dibasic, disodium phosphate dihydrate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate dihydrate, sodium phosphate-buffered isotonic sodium chloride solution, isotonic sodium chloride, sodium phosphate, sodium bicarbonate, calf bovine serum albumin, bovine albumin, fetal bovine serum, bovine calf serum, recombinant human albumin, human albumin, bovine serum albumin, MRC-5 human diploid cells (DNA & protein), WI-38 human diploid lung fibroblasts, DNA from porcine (pig) circoviruses (PCV) 1 and PCV2 , associated with severe sickness in pig], sucrose, lactose, 2-phenoxyethanol, polysorbate 80, polysorbate 20, neomycin, neomycin sulfate, streptomycin, streptomycin sulfate, polymyxin B, polymyxin B sulfate, M-199 medium, L-histidine, sodium borate, the antigens of all the diseases, cell culture media, Dextran, Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium, sorbitol, calcium carbonate, xanthan, CRM197 carrier protein, succinate buffer, phenol, hydrolyzed gelatin, EDTA, formalin, amino acid supplement, phosphate-buffered saline solution, aminoglycoside antibiotic, histidine buffered saline, non-viral protein, potassium phosphate monobasic, potassium chloride, potassium phosphate dibasic, other process chemical residuals, phosphate buffer, borax, thimerosal, glutaraldehyde, glutamate, ammonium thiocyanate, degradation products. Note: some ingredients have changed over the years. Example, the highly toxic preservative, Benzethonium Chloride, has quietly been removed from vaccines sometime after 2017.
From selective studies and lack of data – not from negative correlation – CDC states “vaccines do NOT cause autism”
“Verstraeten Study”
After this study, headlines around the nation captured “vaccines do NOT cause autism.” However, the lack of veracity of the headlines, troubled the author who sent a letter to Pediatrics to set the record straight. “Surprisingly, this study is being interpreted as negative (where “negative” implies no association was shown between thimerosal and autism)… The article does not state we found evidence against an association… the investigators could neither confirm nor exclude an association, and therefore more study is required.” In laymen terms, this study does not prove anything. It’s inconclusive either way. You might say the data proves that vaccines cause autism just as much as it proves vaccines don’t cause autism. But it does not prove that “vaccines do not cause autism”.
Deposition of Dr. Plotkins, Godfather of Vaccines, Funded heavily by Merck
Dr. Plotkins: In the absence of data, my conclusion is that there are no, there’s no proof that causation exists.
Lawyer, Mr Siri: So if there’s no data to show that it causes or doesn’t cause… your supposition is that… it doesn’t cause it?
Dr. Plotkins: There is no proof that it does.
Further discussion based on the Institute of Medicine’s finding that “the evidence is inadequate to accept or reject a causal relationship between diphtheria toxoid-, tetanus toxoid-, or the accelular pertussis- containing vaccine in autism.”
Lawyer, Mr Siri: I’m asking you as a scientist, can you make the statement that vaccines do not cause autism if you don’t know whether DTaP of Tdap cause autism?
Dr Plotkins: As a scientist, I would say that I do not have evidence one way or the other.
Lawyer, Mr Siri: And so for that reason, you’re okay with telling the parent that DTaP/Tdap does not cause autism even though the science isn’t there yet to support that claim?
Dr. Plotkins: Absolutely.
Deposition of Dr. Kelly (Professor of Pediatrics, John Hopkins University, leading expert in mitochondria dysfunction seen in 20-40% of autistic patients)
Lawyer: You are actually arguing for a link between vaccines and autism in this case, aren’t you?
Dr. Kelley: I am.
Lawyer: And that is contrary to the medical literature, isn’t it?
Dr.Kelley: It’s not contrary to the medical literature I read. It is contrary to certain published articles by very authoritative groups who say there is no proven association in large cohort studies.
Lawyer: Your opinion is contrary to, say, the opinion of the CDC, correct?
Dr. Kelley: It is contrary to their conclusion. It is not contrary to their data.
Dr Kelly goes on to say that too many vaccines at once may cause an event that leads to autistic regression. If they were more spaced out, that event might not occur. ” If one gave those vaccines individually over a period of a couple weeks, then it might not have been an event.”
*Note: the government vaccine court has awarded compensation to over 86 cases of children with autism.
*Note: In 2018, Merck received approval for a 6-in-1 vaccine. Similar to GSK Infanrix-hexa. Available in 2021.
Newer studies that CDC does not use to draw their conclusion
There are several studies in different fields the shine light on the autistic problem.
Autistic Brains show Chronic Inflammation
In 2004, a study from John Hopkin University showed that an autistic brain is chronically inflamed. link “The brains of people with autism showed evidence of an ongoing inflammatory process in different regions of the brain…” and produced by cells known as microglia and astroglia,” which is possibly linked to immune activation. A 2013 study also confirms “Microglial Activation in Young Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder.”
Immune Activation of Events of Mother Can Lead to Autism Behaviors in Offspring
2005-2014, Paul Patterson from California’s Institute of Technology showed maternal immune system activation (MIA) has “downstream effects on the fetus” and can lead autism like behaviors in mice. Or said differently, the activation of the brain’s immune system, during critical stages of development, can lead to autism. 2006 article. 2012 study.
The MIND Institute saw the same effects on rhesus moneys. link
This led the scientists to voice concerns about vaccines given during pregnancy.
Immune Activation that is Associated with Autism Can also Occur after Birth
A 2018 study published in Neuropsychopharmacology stated “postnatal immune activation could also produce other symptom clusters that are often seen in ASD and related conditions… Early life immune activation can lead to long-lasting physiological perturbations that resemble medical comorbidities often see in ASD and other neuropsychiatric conditions.” link. This leads to serious concerns about robust vaccination program during critical years of brain development.
Immune Activation is Identified by Cytokine Interleukin-6 (IL-6)
2006 Dr. Patterson and colleagues created a study to test the hypothesis that cytokines released during an infection might be responsible for altering a fetus’s brain during gestation. The study not only proved that theory but identified the type of cytokines, IL-6. link “IL-6 is critical for mediating the behavior and transcriptional changes in the offspring. A single maternal injection of IL-6 on day 12.5 of mouse pregnant causes … deficits in adult offsprings.” In 2012, Xiaochong Li, also confirmed the findings in a study published in Biochimica et Biophysica Acta 1822, “Brain IL-6 Elevation Causes Neural Circuitry Imbalances and Mediates Autism-like Behaviors.”
Toxic Aluminum Adjuvant Causes Motor Deficits, Brain inflammation and More
Dr. Shaw showed that the aluminum adjuvant used in pediatric vaccines, given in two doses equivalent to human body weight ratio, created cognitive and motor deficits in mice. Link. In another published study called “Aluminum Vaccine Adjuvants: Are they Safe?” author Dr. Lucija Tomljenovic states, ” There is also a concerning scarcity of data on toxicology and pharmacokinetics of these compounds. In spite of this, the notion that aluminum in vaccines is safe appears to be widely accepted. Experimental research, however, clearly show that aluminum adjuvants have a potential to induce serious immunological disorders in humans. In particular… a risk for autoimmunity, long term brain inflammation and associated neurological conditions…” link. See aluminum page
Macrophages: The vehicle that takes aluminum to the brain
One year after injecting a mouse with aluminum adjuvant, it ended up in the brain via macrophages. This left French scientist concerned vaccinations. “Continuously escalating doses of this poorly biogradable adjuvant in the population may become insidiously unsafe, especially in the case of over immunization or immature/altered brain barrier.” link
BioPersistence of Aluminum
The same French scientists showed that aluminum is bio persistent and may stay indefinitely in the brain, which can generate a long-term immune response. “alum administration can cause CNS dysfunction and damage, casting doubts on the exact level of alum safety.” link
Small, Consistent Aluminum Doses May Be More Toxic
This study found the lowest dose of aluminum to be the most toxic.The authors called for safety reevaluation of aluminum advance and also critiqued the CDC’s approach that compares aluminum intake through different routes. “Comparing vaccine adjuvant exposure to other non-relevant aluminum exposures, e.g. soluble aluminum and other routes o exposure, many not represent valid approaches.” link
Aluminum Causes Immune Activation in the Brain
In 2015, Middle Eastern scientist were using aluminum to induce Alzhiemers in rats
and did. It also resulted in a IL-6 fourfold increase. Gherardi et al., “Critical Analysis of Referenced Studies.” The same cytokines identified during an immune response event linked to autism in Dr. Patterson studies.
Hep B vaccine induces IL-6
A study in China showed that the Hep B vaccine creates increased levels IL-6 in the brain of mice . A very important aspect of this study showed that effects could have delayed onset. Link. The same group did another study in 2016, focusing on the hep B vaccine. “This work reveals for the first time that early HBV vaccination induces impairments in behavior and hippocampus neurogenesis. This work provides innovative data supporting the long suspected potential association of HBV with certain neuropsychiatric disorders such as autism and multiple sclerosis.” link
High levels of Aluminum are found in Human Brains with Autism
In 2017, Dr. Exley examined brain tissue from subject that had autism. They not only had high levels of aluminum but Dr. Exley showed great concern for the route aluminum was getting into the brain. Macrophages. link Dr. Exley expressed his concern in an email to the director of National Institute of Mental Health, “I have seen the same cells that we will see at an injection site (from vaccination) carrying a cargo of aluminum into the brain tissue of individuals who died with autism.”
Summary
Vaccines are designed to cause an Immune Activation Event and are loaded with aluminum. One could induce from these findings: A long-term immune response in the brain – caused by bio persistent, neurotoxic aluminum that has been carried from the injection site of a vaccination by machrophage cells up to the brain- creates chronic, ongoing inflammation seen in autistic brains.

MMR Immune Activation Event Catalyst
The MMR shot has created great controversy and has been linked by hundreds of parents to their child’s regression to autism. The MMR is a live virus vaccine. It creates a very strong immune response. A strong immune response releases MCP-1 production. MCP-1 production recruits macropaghes. Is it possible that a really strong immune event, like the MMR, activates the aluminum cargo train of macrophages, delivering the aluminum received in early life vaccines up to the brain?
Leading Expert Changes View
Dr. Zimmerman, former director at of medical research of John Hopkins University at Kennedy Krieger Institute has publicly stated that vaccines can trigger autism in some children. Although the VICP once used his expert testimony to deny vaccine injury claims, they stopped communicating with him when they realized he came to a new conclusion about the relationship between vaccines and autism. In 2006 he stated, “Young children who have dysfunctional cellular energy metabolism therefore might be more prone to undergo autistic regression between 18 and 30 months of age if they also have infections or immunizations at the same time.”
Deposition with Dr. Zimmerman
Lawyer: There can be some type of triggering inflammatory response that can cause or lead to regressive autism?
Dr Zimmerman: Correct.
Lawyer: And the science is accepted by people in your field?
Dr Zimmerman: Yes.
Lawyer: Other reputable physicians in your field?
Dr Zimmerman: Right. People who work in the field of autism see, commonly see a relationship between infection, inflammation, and onset of regression.
Lawyer: And vaccines can cause the type of inflammatory response, in fact they’re designed to-to cause the type of inflammatory response that can trigger a regressive autism?
Dr Zimmerman: They’re (vaccines) designed to lead to an immune response, and that may compound the immune response from infection.
Lawyer: So in other words, kids who have this underlying mitochondria disorder who are-have an ongoing infection are at an even higher risk of an injury from the vaccine?
Dr Zimmerman: When combined, yes.
New Evidence and Leading Scientist’s Sound Alarm
The new evidence discovered in the last decade is enough to sound the alarm. Is it possible the heads of the United States Health institutions still don’t know about this information?
Dr. Christopher Shaw, Dr. Romain Gherardi and Dr. Chrisotpher Exley all wrote letters to the directors of CDC, NIH and the FDA in 2017.
“I am an expert in the field of aluminum adjuvants and aluminum toxicity… I have written over 150 peer-reviewed scientific publications on this subject…more research on the role of aluminum adjuvants in vaccines and neurological disorders, including ASD, is essential and urgently required.” – Dr. Exley
“I am an expert in the field of aluminum adjuvants toxicity in humans and animal models… I have written 40 peer-reviewed scientific publications and one book on this subject. I strongly support the contention that aluminum adjuvants in vaccines may have a role in the etiology of autism… My view is founded on significant and burgeoning body of peer reviewed scientific evidence which makes the link between ASD and exposure to aluminum through vaccinations and other sources.”- Dr. Gherardi
“In children, there is growing evidence that aluminum adjuvants may disrupt developmental processes in the central nervous system and therefore contribute to ASD n susceptible children…it is my belief that the CDC’s claim on its website that “Vaccines Do Not Cause Autism” is wholly unsupported.”– Dr. Shaw.
What are the responses of CDC, NIH, and FDA?
Crickets.
The United States gets ready to roll out Merck’s 6-in-1 vaccine shot, available in 2021.
