I'm 76, and reading this I am remembering the young couples I knew well whose babies died of "crib death" shortly after the first "shots." And the dramatic rise in Autism over my lifetime, and the high fever my youngest grandchild had the night of the DPT shot that his reluctant mother agreed to when a doctor threatened her with CPS if she didn't. He is speech-impaired and OCD from ASD.

Dear Diana, there used to be time when we communicated to each other in plain English, and being 76 yrs you can probably remember. What are the meanings of DPT, CPS, OCD, ASD?
This is a key point. Correlation MAY be an indicator, it may not. It's the first step. There are dozens of correlations that can be created, most, or all will be wrong.

Think the abbreviations refer to the following:
DTP = Diphtheria, Tetanus & Pertussis vaccine.
CPS = Child Protective Services.
