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.
You can also watch the full testimony: Dr. Bernard Rimland, Dr. Michael Goldberg & Dr. Mary Megson - Autism & Childhood Vaccines - April 2000.
Here are some more uncomfortable posts on 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.

Baffling, isn't it? Autism is only found in vaccinated Amish kids. I wonder why?

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.

I am willing to wager $1M that vaccines trigger autism onset. To be settled by a jointly agreeable scientific study. This is an EASY way to earn $1M because as we all know, science has proven vaccines DON'T cause autism. So I have to be wrong. Any takers??

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 survey: If you had a child who was developing normally then suddenly had a RAPID regression later diagnosed as autism, when did you FIRST notice the regression?

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.

If you had a child who was developing normally then suddenly had a RAPID regression later diagnosed as autism, how many days after the most recent vaccination did you first notice the regression?

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.
