Executive summary
Watch this US House Government Reform Committee video to hear Dr. Bernard Rimland explain the time shift of peak autism after the MMR shots rolled out. It was a dramatic shift that happened rapidly. Rimland died 6 years after his testimony.
Rimland, who was highly respected for his extensive research, regarded vaccines as the principal suspected trigger for the modern increase in regressive autism.
In his April 3, 2000 House testimony, Rimland argued that:
Earlier “classical” autism was generally apparent from birth or during the first year.
After the mid-1980s, he believed there had been a sharp increase in children developing normally and then regressing at approximately 18 months.
He associated that change with the period when MMR came into widespread use.
He reported that a majority of the parents contacting his institute said their children had been normal until receiving MMR.
When asked whether vaccines were contributing to the autism increase, he answered that there was an “extremely high likelihood.” (official House-hearing transcript)
The age shift happened nearly 20 years before Andrew Wakefield published his MMR paper in The Lancet in February 1998.
So this rules out genetics because genes simply can’t change that fast.
So we’re now down to the vaccine as the only remaining plausible explanation.
And the trolls on X want to change the subject because this is too uncomfortable to talk about.

Here are some more uncomfortable posts on autism.
330 years later, nobody has EVER identified a single unvaccinated Amish child with autism
If there was such a child, the child would have a name.
There is no such child. The gaslighting on this one is amazing.
Every single Amish kid with autism was vaccinated. The trolls fail to notice that “subtle” distinction.
I offered $1M to anyone who thinks vaccines don’t trigger autism. No takers!!!
It is soooooo hard to give away $1M nowadays. I looked through all the responses and nobody wants to take my $1 million even though “science” says I’m absolutely wrong.
My favorite survey: autism rates before vs. after a wellness visit
It shows kids are 60:1 more likely to turn autistic 1 week AFTER a shot than 1 week before a shot.
This is statistically IMPOSSIBLE if vaccines don’t cause autism.
Here is the link to the poll:
Autism peaks right after the shots are given
Over half of the regressions happens in the first 5 days. It should be less than 8% if it was by chance and kids are being vaccinated every 60 days.
Here is the link:
In mixed families, the unvaccinated are healthier in nearly all families I asked (25:1)
The lack of data from the pro-vaccine people
Funny how you will never see these kinds of surveys done by any of the pro-vax supporters.
I guess they don’t want to make me look bad.
Please sign the petition!
We, the undersigned, call on Congress to repeal the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, which grants vaccine manufacturers broad immunity from civil liability, even in cases of negligence or serious injury.
No product that is truly safe should require blanket legal immunity. Shielding manufacturers from accountability removes a fundamental incentive for rigorous safety testing and denies injured individuals their basic right to seek justice through the courts.
Americans deserve the same legal protections for vaccines that apply to other medical products. Restoring civil liability will strengthen public trust, improve safety standards, and reaffirm the principle that no corporation is above the law.
We urge Congress to act now to repeal this immunity and to restore transparency, accountability, and equal justice under the law.
