With all due respect, we don't need Unreported Truths to lead the way on this question. Children's Health Defense - and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. - are doing that for us. Granted, this focus didn't make Mr. Kennedy too popular in the group that believes we should never challenge the "settled science."

... "Something" made autism sky-rocket in my lifetime. And this is no trivial subject if 1-in-34 kids/adults (and growing) now suffer from this disorder.

RFK, Jr.'s uncle - President Kennedy - actually became better known when he published the best-selling book "Profiles in Courage." It's ironic to me that his nephew - who embodies real courage in his effort to challenge Big Pharma and his quest to highlight the autism epidemic - would never be considered a candidate to receive one of those "Profile in Courage" awards given out in his uncle's name.

Most members of his own family want to silence (or are embarrased by) a man who is displaying true courage.

What is real courage? You do something even though you know your activities could cause you great harm (or, cause your own family to disown you).

Agreed. Thanks to him (who I dismissed as a blah, blah before the Fauci book), not much bandwidth is now required to diss out the truth.

Good for you, Bro. Rice! My sense is that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is uniquely courageous because the value of his professional research eclipses the value of the works performed by JFK, WJC, and BHO combined. Oh, and HRC.

I make that point too. He's actually done more of significance than any of his other famous politician relatives, including his late father and two uncles. For his efforts, he's been smeared and made to seem like a villain or conspiracy kook.

Methinks it's the "shots at the basket". The sheer numbers and combinations allow that when there are so many vaccines available.

Remember when we were growing up and you only had 5 shots at the basket with vaccines that had a long track record in order to go to school?

Now I think it's close to seventy and many of them don't have a long track record and provide no benefit to the children and no net benefit to society.

Do the math. It ain't "linear". You can do the calculations for 5 vaxxes in your head. You'd need Isaac Newton now.

How many people who send their kids to school today even know that?...or know they're NOT mandated by schools...just presented that way...cuz...wait for it....the influence of the CDC and Big Pharma....

But autism was rearing its ugly head long before all the vaccines on the schedule today. It was beginning to be noticed and studied in the 1970’s—so perhaps there is a certain vaccine or vax combo that is involved?

Yeah, the discussion below made me think twice about that too. Apparently the 70's marked a change in building materials, specifically including use of antifungals in paint and drywall that led to a change in the microbial ecology of homes and now some estimates say that possibly over half of homes harbor novelty strains of molds that can trigger all kinds of immune dysfunction... Anyway it's a deep rabbit hole that I just started into but this is worth a listen:

Unreal

Honestly, it's frightening. Doctors will often administer more than 2 shots in a visit. I've argued with my daughter over the vaccination of their children. The HepB shot was created for prostitutes and sex workers. But, they're not taking the shots and the pharma companies lobbied to have it added to the list of childhood vaccines. Unless the children were born to mothers who are sex workers, it's a completely unnecessary shot. My daughter only took 30 or so vaccines on her first several years of life. Children today can have that many in a year. This is beyond unconscionable. A pox on all of their houses.

Approaching 4% as the rate climbs. Males are three times more likely to acquire it than females. "Something made it skyrocket". Some scientists say the rapid increase proves it is not genetically caused. I have a 5 year old grandson with autism. His three year old brother does not have it and is very verbal and sharp mentally. My son contends that his wife was given a heavy antibiotic before giving birth to the older grandson. The three year old came so quickly no antibiotic could be given the mother. No proof but something that needs to be investigated. Our three sons were born without my wife being given any antibiotic. None are autistic. Small sample but worthy of investigative research by uncompromised scientists (Probably in Europe).

That's a key question - where do we find "uncompromised" scientists these days?

Ike warned us about government capturing "science."

First of all political science is an oxymoron. There is nothing scientific about it. PM should be substituted for the term political science. It stands for, among other things, People Manipulation and/or Probably Malarkey. Any "scientist" on Fed Gov grant or working directly or indirectly for a pharmaceutical company and/or any part of the U. S. medical community should be considered compromised. That leaves most researchers out. Finding one could be as hard as finding hen's teeth. A research scientist who is independent and associated with those doctors who have opposed the FDA and CDC would be a place to start. Otherwise Europe would be the next decent option.

Interesting. All potential medical treatments during pregnancies should be considered as possible sources. After the "safe and effective" declarations we received on the gene therapies sold as vaccines, it is hard to believe anything told by the medical establishment.

I completely agree about RFK Jr being a tremendous source of valuable information on the vaccine debate. Particularly the childhood vaccine immunization schedule. I have been studying this since 2012. I was shocked and traumatized by what I discovered. Fortunately, I was able to gather data, studies, documentaries, and the like in time to save my three grandchildren from being immunized. The twins are 4 1/2 and incredibly healthy now, as is our 18 month old. I contribute generously and annually to CHD. I only wish others would wake up. Including Alex, who I have followed from the second he came on the scene.

Kennedy's work has no doubt saved many lives and kept many people who might have later become ill or suffered from a vaccine injury to not suffer this fate.

I still think "The Real Anthony Fauci" will go down as one of the most important non-fiction books of the last 50 to 100 years. That book isn't just about Covid lies. It's about corrupt Science and how one industry - Big Pharma - basically took over the world - and is killing large numbers of people on our planet.

You are absolutely right about the Fauci book. I read it the second it came out. And, surprisingly, for many, many years I knew Tony Fauci personally and liked him. I just never knew.

I'm sure he can ingratiate himself to people when he needs or wants to - especially powerful people in government and influential people in media.

Sharyl Attkisson interviewed a scientist of some sort, a man who actually testified for the government, years before COVID , on the subject of vaccine safety and the connection to autism. That man spoke too much truth and the government disowned him. Apologies for not being able to provide a link, but some writer here at Substack alluded to Sharyl’s original article, apologies for not being able to recall who it was, maybe John Leake. I think the link to the autism is the adjuvants like aluminum and mercury.

What you don't understand is that each patient has to go through a surgical procedure to have a tissue sample taken to determine whether it's what you have. When a parent dies you test that parent to see if which parent is the carrier of the gene. Understood

I think the larger lesson to be learned from vaccines is they create a trade-off. Whether autism is a side effect or not, I’d bet millions of dollars that peanut allergies are a side effect of one of our vaccines. The point being nothing is free and no matter how much we try to mitigate disease there will be trade-offs when we eliminate one virus another problem will be there to take its place.

Expand full comment

Mark, you are 100% right. If a disease came along with a 50% mortality rate and the vaccine had a 5% mortality rate, I’d take the vaccine. The achilles heel of the current vaccine schedule is that it’s very unlikely the benefits exceed the risks. More granularly, there are massive risk-benefit differences between EACH vaccine. It simply makes no sense to give a baby the Hep B vaccine if the mother isn’t Hep B positive, whereas a parent may find the risk-benefit for the polio vaccine (that doesn’t contain aluminum) worth it. FWIW, I think Hep B is likely the most brain destructuve vaccine on the schedule, with the lowest utility to health. JB

Here’s a crazy idea that might rock a couple feathers:

1) the diseases that we attribute to viruses may be caused by other factors, ie, EMFs, stress and immunological pathogens, etc. this information is widely known within the manufacturing companies: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/lies-not-discussed-within-the-truth

2) if we examine these pathogens, we could find other remedies to these pathogens outside of vaccines that could still be therapeutic w/o the side effects. I explore this as well with the weight loos crazy we’re seeing: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/the-hidden-struggle-in-health-care

3) long story short, this is a topic that needs investigation and if people chose not to look into it, that’s fair. Others, like myself, are looking into and see that there are other therapies with less side effects. Ex: multiple studies show unvaccinated or even delayed vaccinated kids are healthier than scheduled vaccines.

So there are plenty of resources (ie Steve Kirsh) looking into this, so resources are there if people are interested

I’m starting to suspect Psoriasis is also a trade off. Has anyone noticed the number of Pharma commercials for Psoriasis therapeutics? My wife had pristine skin. At age 69 she started to get micro patches which were diagnosed as Psoriasis. It has continued to spread for the last 4 years. She (we) never got jabbed. She never got a flu vaccine or pneumococcal “vaccine “. I am subscribing to this being jabs administered in childhood.

Exactly

C’mon Alex. No true control is used in “random control trial” testing of any vaccines on the childhood vaccine schedule. This revelation is provided in the book “Turtles All The Way Down”. Many historical documents are shown from the CDC and FDA on this point. The “control” is always a non inert/saline solution. It’s always an older vaccine which was never itself tested against any true control. That’s pretty damning - because all non-inert substances have significant safety side effects which largely cancel out when comparing two active pharmacological substances.

"People want me to write about climate change; about the 2020 election; some even want me to write more John Wells."

Right now your audience likely knows a lot more about 2020 elections than you do so you'd have to show evidence that you've actually researched the issue (from a neutral perspective) or that will end badly. The same might be true for climate change.

My 2 cents is to stick with vaccines or something still related to the medical cartel in general. Instead of autism specific content, maybe write more broadly about the childhood vaccine schedule. Almost everyone should be interested in that because they have children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews etc that have to suffer the consequences of getting that wrong. That could include autism related content at times but it doesn't have to.

What's the incidence of autism in the (non-vaccinated) Amish community compared to the population at large?

Expand full comment

The Amish also have many other lifestyle differences compared to the general population. What are their rates of obesity? Do they follow the standard western diet, or one that is low sugar, mostly protein and no processed food? Exposure to the outdoors? How young the gestating mothers are? All of these can have a significant effect.

Expand full comment

True ... but they also don't get the jabs that the non-Amish all get.

Expand full comment

So run a comparative study with the Amish and another population with an equivalent lifestyle that does vax, and compare the autism rates.

Comparing the Amish with the unhealthy genpop is not good science.

Expand full comment

Somehow, I think the Science Establishment knows they can't do any study with the Amish as a control or placebo group. That would be setting a dangerous precedent there.

... I can't think of another "placebo" group in America that has NOT gotten dozens of vaccines. The Covid vaccine researchers eliminated the "placebo" group after 40 days in those "safety trials."

Expand full comment

BS. When you're trying to solve a complex problem, the more datapoints the better. Consider: What if Amish rates of autism closely tracked those of non-Amish? That would certainly be interesting. Or, what if the reverse was true?

Also interesting. And running a study with Amish does not preclude running any other studies. So.

The rise of autism is dismissed as “ better diagnositics.”

Nonetheless it remains the issue of our times. Not polio, not smallpox.

I have three sons, and all their friends are so relieved when their kids are not autistic. Many families are affected. Kids “ on the spectrum “ is an everyday appellation rather than a rarity.

We need a “ March of Dimes” like campaign to find out why and then to prevent it for the future.

I don’t buy that better diagnostics argument. I’m 72, i had a friend in grade school whose younger brother had Down Syndrome.... the first time I heard autism was in college, a guy friend had a younger brother who was autistic. That’s it.

Agreed. Kids had Down’s or CP, there were always a few kids who would be today called on the spectrum but never heard of autism until the past 30 years. Now, it is an epidemic.

Both of my children are autistic and one of them was diagnosed before getting a single dose of MMR (she had received others though). I’m also hesitant to believe in a connection there, but I am more intrigued/curious whether my own childhood vaccines affected my pregnancies and therefore triggered autism in my children. (There is probably a hereditary aspect as well). I haven’t seen that studied.

And sadly you won’t. I’m DES in utero exposed. The FDA has never acknowledged the infertility and cancers it caused. They stopped dispensing it to pregnant women in 1970... I had to explain to my doctor its history....

The DES and cancer link is well recognized. The “ link” is standard fodder for exams.

I cannot agree with that. Perhaps more so by gynecologists, but 35 -40 years ago I was involved in “support groups” where some women were dealing with cervical and uterine cancers, others with infertility issues, inverted uteruses, misshapen cervixes, third trimester miscarriages... the doctors were not very insightful or acknowledging that DES was responsible. DES is an another perfect example where the dispensed like candy, well, actually it was in pre natal vitamins.... and the damage did not begin to be recognized until these daughters were in their child bearing years. Testicular cancer was also higher in DES exposed males.

My mom was given DES when pregnant with me when she thought she was miscarrying, she swears what she thought was a lump of fetal tissue came out, but then still pregnant so she thought she miscarried maybe a twin. At 16, before I even started having sex, my GYN said my cervix was malformed and the uterine lining was coming out. He said you will get cervical cancer, you have to be vigilant about Pap smears. Between my first baby, completely natural delivery no drugs and second labor I did get cervical cancer, I had a tumor on my cervix but no one knew and the OB kept telling me all labors are different when I insisted something was wrong when the cervix never opened past 3cm. Emergency c-section, then two months later went in for a radical hysterectomy to get the cancer. They blamed the herpes virus which neither I or my husband ever had, had been tested and always negative, but they said that was the cause not the DES my mom was given.

Alex, I appreciate your response and understand the bandwidth question. I respect the skillset you bring to the discussions around the topics you have chosen to focus on. What I do think is important is for more people, that means all of us, to be clearer on what we know to be true based on substantive investigation and personal experience, and what we simply believe based on sound bites and a popular narrative, and the difference between the two. In order to undo the polarizing energy that MSM has created and encourages, I feel strongly that allowing space for all the unknowns that we are currently living with and not feeling like we have to 'pick a side' is of vital importance. Medical history is replete with examples where the general consensus was locked down in one way of looking at something and it took brave people willing to dissent who brought new information to the table and ultimately changed how we do things. I had two dogs vaccinated for leptospirosis about 15 years ago at the urging of my vet, to prevent a disease spread by wild animal urine that causes kidney failure. One lived to be almost 14 years old and the other one died 6 weeks from the booster shot from....kidney failure. I began looking into the world of accepted vaccine science and there are plenty of legitimate concerns. As you appropriately make note of, we are swimming in all kinds of things that can negatively affect our health and ALL of them deserve to be looked at with an open mind as potential suspects. Doing robust risk/benefit analysis shouldn't be such a hot topic. There's so much we don't know and questioning the status quo is critical. We currently have the unhealthiest generation of children the world has ever seen. Is it pesticides, is it other toxic exposures through our air and water, is it the increase of vaccines doses from 6 in the 60's to upwards of 72 now. What are the adjuvants and other ingredients that could create harm? How do we find answers if we aren't willing to look at all the issues and ask questions?

Alex, thanks for your post. We are all entitled to choose how we spend our time. Your response is a strong signal that you’ve only taken a casual dive into this topic, which is a surprise given how close the topic is to the one you have become an expert on: mRNA vaccines. It’s because of the credibility you have generated with our community that you disappoint us, if that makes any sense. I think you’re the reporter covering gang violence in Cairo (a small scale topic), while the war in Gaza rages just across the border (a potentially World War 3 creating conflict). I’m certainly saddened by the destruction mRNA vaccines have caused, but it doesn’t even hold a candle to how many children’s lives have been ruined by the bloated and untested childhood vaccine schedule, which was radically expanded at the very same moment all these chronic illnesses in children skyrockted. We will agree to disagree, JB

Correct. There are already excellent sources on the vaccine autism connection. RFK Jr. with his CHD organization has that ground covered. The key element that relates to your work has to do with the government suppression of factual data. In other words, in parallel with your Twitter censorship we have the misinformation put out by the medical industry. And this relates to Congress in their enabling of corruption in the healthcare field. You might be best to spend your time looking at how we stop the Congressional corruption that turns the pharmaceutical industry loose to do harm with no fear of consequences.

Alex's fight against censorship does go directly to the problem ... and the possible solutions ... or even "cures." Nobody is going to solve the autism epidemic (and it is an epidemic) if people can't even question if vaccines might have something to do with this.
