I shall issue a comprehensive (though unorthodox) topical article (to be titled) “Coming Clean on Cancer” at my website https://ozziethinker.wordpress.com at some point.

“A worldwide increase in the rate of autism diagnoses—likely driven by broadened diagnostic criteria and increased awareness—has fueled concerns that an environmental exposure like vaccines might cause autism.”

It doesn’t take much awareness to notice severely autistic children who are unresponsive to human interaction, who flap and headbang and freak out in response to normal stimuli, who must watch the same children’s cartoon film over and over, even as they are teens and older. And there are endless reports from mothers seeing a child go from normal, healthy, interactive, to being “gone” into this kind of state, losing what language development they had, etc. shortly or immediately after a course of vaccination.

The problem has mushroomed. There would be scores of severely autistic adults of all ages needing round-the-clock care if this were a consistent genetic disorder and not a recent, environmentally-caused condition. They would be everywhere, known and documented through the older generations and before. They just aren’t there. They never were until recently. These sorts of damaged people were basically unheard of until the last few decades. Some places in the US apparently now have separate mall Santas just to deal with the autistic kids.

Also, one of the authors is Paul Offit. You might as well have the #1 PR flack for the tobacco industry conduct a study on the health effects of commercial cigarettes.
