So another issue is changing the vaccine schedule for children. Now public schools use it to keep kiddos out that aren't fully vaccinated and we know it is overkill and not all are necessary. Has anyone compared schedules from other countries.

Thank you, Steve! Please don't ever give up revealing the truth about autism. These families need the truth and some validation and especially apologies.

Wouldn't that prove the vaccine causes it?

This is a study group in Milwaukee that does studies on the brain. I’m sure they would be very interested.

I’m in a study now for Covid study on an unvaxxed patient. It includes vaxxed/unvaxxed. It’s exactly who you need to do the study. Let us know who you choose.

Hello Steve

You are phenomenal and your love for humanity shines so bright thank you for being you!

it would be great to do some research in the UK which has now become one of the most censored countries in the world - I wonder why that is?

Much love and gratitude

So glad to see that you found someone to do the survey! I think the quick answers that Kennedy promised are likely going to be AI analysis of existing data that HHS already has, but that has been hidden from the public.

Surveys are the parents experience, intuition or opinion, I'm not saying they aren't valuable to the equation but are they really going to advance or contribute to this cause?

Steve, as I age & grow more disillusioned with institutions, individuals like you shine forth as bright beacons in our "technological dark age." Keep charging.

1. Coming from & dealing with family of "neurodivergent" individuals I offer these observations that might aid controlling sensitivity to pleioteopic epigenetic modifications (expressed genetic risk) that can result in mental distempers:

• maternal diet

• breastfeeding vs infant formula

• sunlight

• diet (strict control of sugar, fructose, seed oils & alcohol with focus on meat, eggs, dairy & seafood.)

• movement

• sleep

• family support (love)

2. That being said, Factors that influence autism: fever during pregnancy • maternal immune system disorders • prenatal pesticide/herbicide exposure • advanced parental age • oxygen deprivation from birth complications • maternal obesity • maternal diabetes • gestational diabetes• childhood injections • environmental influences • epigenetic gene activation • very low birth weight • extreme prematurity • infant formula • brain nerve cell dysfunction from low maternal vitamin D3 & folate levels • autism risk genes • genetic disorders • social determinants • fragile x syndrome • prenatal air pollution exposure • rett syndrome • hormonal birth control

3. Lastly, looking back in time, 41,000 homo sapiens survived & thrived whilst Neanderthals shrivelled during the Laschamp excursion. Have we inadvertently flipped too many switches disrupting deeply seated Circadian rhythms & metabolic processes?

Wow, very complicated stuff there captain! More study needed, genetic analysis, money money money with no end in sight. No Occam’s razor type stuff like what Steve proposed but more endless high tech navel gazing while kids and families suffer.

Good start to showing the whole chain of events that may contribute to a growing trend. Add to this the general health and diet of mothers pre-pregnancy, the nutrition and diet and supplement, or lack thereof during pregnancy, the vastly increased rate over the last 20 years of caesarian sections (34% now in BC, Canada vs national average of 28%), treatment of these babies after caesarian section and detailed hospital protocols at every step of the way, then the nutrition fed to baby and mother in first 6 months and first year of life etc etc. We need highly experienced doctors doing critical debate of this entire process.

Academic research on this topic clearly needs updating but here is a good start:

March 2023 study:

Planned hospital birth compared with planned home birth for pregnant women at low risk of complications

Background: Observational studies of increasingly better quality and in different settings suggest that planned hospital birth in many places does not reduce mortality and morbidity but increases the frequency of interventions and complications. Euro-Peristat (part of the European Union's Health Monitoring Programme) has raised concerns about iatrogenic effects of obstetric interventions, and the World Health Organization (WHO) has raised concern that the increasing medicalisation of childbirth tends to undermine women's own capability to give birth and negatively impacts their childbirth experience. This is an update of a Cochrane Review first published in 1998, and previously updated in 2012.

Midwives collaboratively conclude that there is strong evidence that out-of-hospital birth supported by a registered midwife is safe, equipoise may no longer exist, and randomised trials may now thus be considered unethical or hardly feasible.

100% on target!!

Although there are cases when birthing a baby requires medical intervention in a hospital, this should be an extreme measure, the normal delivery should require a lot less potentially iatrogenic interventions (ah, but the maternal obesity, gestational diabetes, poor diets with low folate & vitamin D [sunshine], ...). Humans are a robust species with adaptation to climatic & geographic extremes, that genes predisposing to autism are being activated is probably multicausal, but when I was born this aggressive injection schedule did not exist:

«Protect your baby by providing immunity early in life. Starting at 1 to 2 months of age, your baby receives the following vaccines to develop immunity from potentially harmful diseases. [ https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/by-age/index.html ]

• DTaP vaccine, 1st dose of 5, A DTaP vaccine is the best protection from three serious diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough (pertussis). All three of these diseases can be deadly for people of any age, and whooping cough is especially dangerous for babies.

• Hib vaccine, 1st dose of 3 or 4, Hib disease is a serious illness caused by the bacteria Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib). Babies and children younger than 5 years old are most at risk for Hib disease. It can cause lifelong disability and be deadly. Doctors recommend that your child get three or four doses of the Hib vaccine (depending on the brand).

• Hepatitis B vaccine, 2nd dose of 3, Hepatitis B is an infectious and potentially serious disease that can cause liver damage and liver cancer. If babies are infected at birth, hepatitis B can be a lifelong, chronic infection. There is no cure for hepatitis B, but the hepatitis B vaccine is the best way to prevent it.

• IPV, 1st dose of 4, Polio is a disabling and life-threatening disease caused by poliovirus, which can infect the spinal cord and cause paralysis. It most often sickens children younger than 5 years old. Polio was eliminated in the United States with vaccination, and continued use of polio vaccine has kept this country polio-free.

• PCV, 1st dose of 4, Pneumococcal disease can cause potentially serious and even deadly infections. The pneumococcal conjugate vaccine protects against the bacteria that cause pneumococcal disease.

• Rotavirus vaccine. 1st dose of 2 or 3, Rotavirus can be very dangerous, even deadly for babies and young children. Doctors recommend that your child get two or three doses of the rotavirus vaccine (depending on the brand).»

Is the low risk of these rare illnesses really worth increasing the low, but 𝙪𝙣𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙥𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 risk of autism from the injections?

Doctors ARE the problem. How bout we encourage home births and doulas instead?

Indeed your correct as proven by this 2018 study which showed much more health problems in children born from C-sections which they knowingly do to routinely for convenience of the health system vs focusing on health of child and mother.

Title: The effect of medical and operative birth interventions on child health outcomes in the first 28 days and up to 5 years of age: A linked data population‐based cohort study

Study conclusion: Children born by spontaneous vaginal birth had fewer short‐ and longer‐term health problems, compared with those born after birth interventions.

Results:

Our analyses included 491 590 women and their children; of those 38% experienced a spontaneous vaginal birth. Infants who experienced an instrumental birth after induction or augmentation had the highest risk of jaundice, adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 2.75 (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.61‐2.91) compared with spontaneous vaginal birth. Children born by cesarean delivery were particularly at statistically significantly increased risk for infections, eczema, and metabolic disorder, compared with spontaneous vaginal birth. Children born by emergency cesarean delivery showed the highest association for metabolic disorder, aOR 2.63 (95% CI 2.26‐3.07).

Or in simple english:

after studying almost 500,000 women and their children

C-section babies faced higher risks of infections, eczema, and metabolic problems (like blood sugar issues) compared to natural births.

Emergency C-sections had the strongest link to metabolic disorders, with risks over 2.5 times higher than natural births.

Maybe there are some research facilities among the Amish or Christian Science communities, although they would likely not be unbiased.

the premise that these vaxxxxes are to prevent a “virus” from infecting another person (aka contagion) is false, so these shots can only be 100% downside risk!

May I respectfully suggest Stephanie Seneff of MIT and Greg Nigh, to set the initial standard with an initial budget and then use her study to challenge larger institutional researchers with more traditional resumes to try to meet her report quality. I believe you already know her and her theory that autism may be linked to glyphosate so now you just have to convince her to extend her theory to see if other toxins are involved in the mix individually or compound effect of all. You are well aware she has the courage to write on this topic along with Greg Nigh.

https://www.csail.mit.edu/person/stephanie-seneff

Since 2011, she has published over 30 papers, together with colleagues, in various peer-reviewed medical and heath-related journals on topics such as modern day diseases (e.g., Alzheimer, autism, cardiovascular diseases), analysis and search of databases of drug side effects using NLP techniques, and the impact of nutritional deficiencies and environmental toxins on human health.

Her Sep/2024 paper on Autism:

Is autism a PIN1 deficiency syndrome? A proposed etiological role for glyphosate

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38808598/

Her 2012 paper is here:

Might cholesterol sulfate deficiency contribute to the development of autistic spectrum disorder?

Maybe it's both quackzines AND glyphosate. Maybe the cause of autism is just toxic load. Poisoning.

Vaccines have always been about murderous population control, right back to the puss from cattle with cow pox supposedly to Vaccine against smallpox . Far more than a 100 years ago, before the eugenics of crime families like the Rockefeller's has been going on; probably even before the City of London was a centre of Evil on the Earth.

I got fewer jabs than most, as a child in the 1960s, specifically because my father's brother was killed an infection caused by the TB jab.

How far back are you going? Vaccines? I'm 77 and (my wife & I found recently, so are we part of the " epidemic ") am autistic. A profound relief which explained my life actions (my mother called me her strange son) My(2nd) wife, also her daughter,& a grandson. A family I know, the grandfather, (architect), (would be 90), mother, 2 daughters (at least) all autistic. All very intelligent, but strange to neuro typicals. I don't think Cov. vacc. was a factor in any case . Heredity, yes. My wife's forbears have psychopaths, " witches", 'village ' wise women" etc in their past - all people who are " different" to the locals.

Any research needs to be very careful and encompassing, not knee jerk, jump on the bandwagon, total vaccine condemnation.

I agree, or it won't hold any weight. Part of the problem is the spectrum they created to diagnose. Too many fit that spectrum, there may be more than one cause or trigger as well as some conditions diagnosed as autism being something else entirely.

I do so wish I could be that hopeful Jer, but it's ultimately, ALL about where the research funding comes from.........

1970's when studying breastmilk Vs formula, I learnt from an insider, that infant formula companies, had unpublished research on breastmilk that they were keeping a lid on - to enable a potential market edge somewhere down the track, and to not reveal the magic of human milk for baby humans. Apparently they were p*ssed as all hell, they cannot come anywhere near the exquisite synergy of compilation of either colostrum nor breastmilk. Friend told me ne learnt quickly to ask "Tell me who or what funds this PROPOSED research, and I'll tell you the outcome right now......... blah, blah, blah....

There. Done. Boom. Just saved you a million dollars...... what else?......"

Quite eye opening back in the day.......

It made for interesting conversations during team conferences -- we had some great banter with aaha moments for some 😆🤓
