The before:after odds are even more extraordinary. How can we ignore all this evidence?<\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"header-with-anchor-widget\">Executive summary<\/h3>\n<p>Here\u2019s my favorite short list of evidence that can\u2019t be explained if vaccines don\u2019t cause autism. Does anyone think I\u2019m wrong and can explain the list?<\/p>\n<p>Note that I only claim that vaccines are THE major cause, not the sole cause. There are other things that contribute. But if we could change only one thing, eliminating use of all vaccines is the single best way to reduce the rate of autism in the US.<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line is that for questions like whether vaccines can trigger autism, there is only one answer: it does or it doesn\u2019t. It doesn\u2019t change.<\/p>\n<p>We have 25 years of evidence. It\u2019s all either supportive of Hypothesis A or B.<\/p>\n<p>It is a colossal failure of evidence-based medicine and the medical community that they cannot figure out which bucket all the evidence is consistent with.<\/p>\n<p>The answer is so simple because all the studies cited as the strongest evidence on their side are all deeply flawed and can be easily disproven. It is astonishing to me that so many smart people cannot figure this out.<\/p>\n<p>But they are paid not to look. They always completely ignore the studies that go against the narrative and only focus on studies where the studies are designed to minimize the chance of finding an association.<\/p>\n<p>Making statements such as \u201cyou review all evidence, giving more weight to the quality and quantity of evidence\u201d is science via \u201cexpert opinion.\u201d It is hit or miss.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>If you want scientific certainty, you need to be able to show that\u00a0<strong>every known piece of evidence<\/strong>\u00a0is either consistent or not inconsistent with your hypothesis.<\/p>\n<p>We believe we can do this in this case and that they cannot.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s that simple. This is the key.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s go though all the top evidence, both sides in the same room, and let\u2019s let unbiased experts (with no conflicts of interest) listen to the arguments.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you want a shortcut to the truth, compelling anecdotes or a well done case study are generally powerful tools to reveal the truth. We certainly have this in this case as there are many many anecdotes that they simply cannot explain and they have no anecdotes that we cannot explain.<\/p>\n<p>We can come up with amazing anecdotes, e.g., 40 cases of instant autism within 2 weeks after the vaccine in a medical practice and 0 cases before. Can the other side come up with anything even close to that for 2 weeks before the vaccine?<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s actually simple to disprove the null hypothesis because all we have to show is a single black swan\u2026 if we show a single case where vaccines cause autism, we\u2019re done. Single cases are always hard to prove since someone can argue \u201ccoincidence; it was going to happen anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But triplets in the same family happening to all the triplets at the same time (who were not identical), is statistically impossible\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kirschsubstack.com\/i\/135760531\/our-autism-anecdote-is-also-impossible-if-vaccines-arent-causing-autism\" rel=\" nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">as I point out here<\/a>. It\u2019s only happened once in history that I know of. And here\u2019s the really weird thing: this \u201ccan\u2019t possibly ever happen event\u201d just happened to occur starting 2 hours after a vaccine injection! Do you think that that was just \u201ccoincidence\u201d?<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"header-with-anchor-widget\">Keep this quote in mind as you read this article<\/h3>\n<p>A quote from Michael Crichton, MD: \u201cLet\u2019s be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"header-with-anchor-widget\">Is it \u201csettled science\u201d that vaccines don\u2019t cause autism? No! Here\u2019s the proof<\/h3>\n<p>Michael Simpson claims it is \u201csettled science\u201d that vaccines don\u2019t cause autism. He said it right here:<\/p>\n<div class=\"captioned-image-container\">\n<figure>\n<div class=\"image2-inset\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd21c78cb-e94a-4ef8-9b24-1f5075d1b53d_2489x739.png 424w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd21c78cb-e94a-4ef8-9b24-1f5075d1b53d_2489x739.png 848w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd21c78cb-e94a-4ef8-9b24-1f5075d1b53d_2489x739.png 1272w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd21c78cb-e94a-4ef8-9b24-1f5075d1b53d_2489x739.png 1456w\" type=\"image\/webp\" sizes=\"100vw\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"sizing-normal\" src=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd21c78cb-e94a-4ef8-9b24-1f5075d1b53d_2489x739.png\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd21c78cb-e94a-4ef8-9b24-1f5075d1b53d_2489x739.png 424w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd21c78cb-e94a-4ef8-9b24-1f5075d1b53d_2489x739.png 848w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd21c78cb-e94a-4ef8-9b24-1f5075d1b53d_2489x739.png 1272w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd21c78cb-e94a-4ef8-9b24-1f5075d1b53d_2489x739.png 1456w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1456\" height=\"432\" data-attrs=\"{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/public\/images\/d21c78cb-e94a-4ef8-9b24-1f5075d1b53d_2489x739.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:432,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:811028,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image\/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null}\" \/><\/picture>\n<div class=\"image-link-expand\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Paul Offit says that the medical consensus is that vaccines do not cause autism.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheChiefNerd\/status\/1656447434195709953?s=20\" rel=\" nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Watch this video<\/a>.

To decide whether this paper is true or false requires looking into the claims of one of the co-authors (William Thompson) and examining the evidence he produced. The evidence clearly shows scientific fraud took place: it is required for the authors to publish the race subgroup analysis, but they didn\u2019t even mention it in the paper. Co-author Thompson\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/legislature.vermont.gov\/Documents\/2016\/WorkGroups\/House%20Health%20Care\/Bills\/H.98\/Witness%20Testimony\/H.98~Jennifer%20Stella~William%20Thompson%20Statement~5-6-2015.pdf\" rel=\" nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">admitted this breach of ethics in a press release<\/a>. Even worse, CDC management ordered Thompson to destroy any evidence of that subgroup analysis instead. Yet the journal refused to retract the paper.

This is all we need to prove our case.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kirschsubstack.com\/i\/135760531\/our-autism-anecdote-is-also-impossible-if-vaccines-arent-causing-autism\" rel=\" nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Details here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lack of a single case where a child became \u201covernight autistic\u201d before a vaccination appointment:<\/strong>\u00a0There are thousands of parents who report that their child became \u201covernight autistic\u201d within 24 hours\u00a0<em>after\u00a0<\/em>a vaccine shot.\u00a0<strong>I personally know dozens of these parent\u00a0<\/strong>(and here are\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/airtable.com\/shr76MHvw5Gf15Y7H\" rel=\" nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">some parents who agreed to have their name used publicly<\/a>\u00a0if you want to verify this). So if vaccines don\u2019t cause autism, there must be a roughly comparable number of parents who noticed this within 24 hours\u00a0<em>before\u00a0<\/em>a vaccine appointment (because the number of cases will be comparable on any day you pick). Yet, nobody has ever heard of a single kid who became \u201covernight autistic\u201d even within 2 weeks before a vaccination appointment! All the \u201covernight autism\u201d stories are all after a vaccination appointment, generally within a 2 week window but sometimes as short as just 2 hours after the shot is given. Here\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.deseret.com\/2013\/5\/23\/20452608\/mmr-vaccine-caused-my-son-s-autism\" rel=\" nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">an example of overnight autism<\/a>.

None of the experts I contact had heard of a single \u201cbefore\u201d case. Note that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/stkirsch\/status\/1672412630739456000\" rel=\" nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">I also asked on Twitter for a counter-example, and nobody had one there either.<\/a>\u00a0Here\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/stkirsch\/status\/1673164328722374657?s=20\" rel=\" nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">yet another ask for exceptions<\/a>. If vaccines weren\u2019t causing overnight autism, the anecdotes of this happening pre-vaccine appointment\u00a0<em>would be as easy to find as the anecdotes of it happening post-vaccine appointment<\/em>. Finally, the argument that nobody would remember if their child got overnight autism before their vaccination appointment is silly as this\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/stkirsch\/status\/1675865391846019074?s=20\" rel=\" nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">simple Twitter poll<\/a>\u00a0demonstrated (relating a sudden death of a friend and when the friend was scheduled to be vaccinated).

Secondly, the side declaring \u201csettled science\u201d subsequently refusing to even respond yes or no (with a legitimate reason or counter offer) to a legit debate challenge with experts is a huge red flag that something is seriously wrong.\n<div class=\"captioned-image-container\">\n<figure>\n<div class=\"image2-inset\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdc7c6e3c-dd4d-4f3c-ab1c-398ab9f11f6e_906x1627.png 424w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdc7c6e3c-dd4d-4f3c-ab1c-398ab9f11f6e_906x1627.png 848w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdc7c6e3c-dd4d-4f3c-ab1c-398ab9f11f6e_906x1627.png 1272w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdc7c6e3c-dd4d-4f3c-ab1c-398ab9f11f6e_906x1627.png 1456w\" type=\"image\/webp\" sizes=\"100vw\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"sizing-normal\" src=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdc7c6e3c-dd4d-4f3c-ab1c-398ab9f11f6e_906x1627.png\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdc7c6e3c-dd4d-4f3c-ab1c-398ab9f11f6e_906x1627.png 424w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdc7c6e3c-dd4d-4f3c-ab1c-398ab9f11f6e_906x1627.png 848w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdc7c6e3c-dd4d-4f3c-ab1c-398ab9f11f6e_906x1627.png 1272w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdc7c6e3c-dd4d-4f3c-ab1c-398ab9f11f6e_906x1627.png 1456w\" alt=\"\" width=\"906\" height=\"1627\" data-attrs=\"{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/public\/images\/dc7c6e3c-dd4d-4f3c-ab1c-398ab9f11f6e_906x1627.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1627,&quot;width&quot;:906,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:476296,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image\/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/twitter.com\/stkirsch\/status\/1677207925587329024?s=20&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null}\" \/><\/picture>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>They won\u2019t meet with scientists on our side to discuss all the data on the table to see if we can get a consensus. This is tragic. Kids suffer because their side won\u2019t meet with our side. We are willing, they are not. What does that tell you? Someone is afraid of debate. RFK Jr. has been trying to get a debate on autism for 20 years.<\/li>\n<li>Their argument for why vaccines don\u2019t cause autism is to cherry pick all the studies showing no signal, and completely ignore every study with any signal. That\u2019s dishonest science. An honest scientist would present credible studies and then explain with evidence the other studies that show the opposite to show why those studies not credible. They don\u2019t do that. They avoid the studies that show the linkage like the plague.

How is that possible? Easy. They were all vaccinated at the exact same time in the same pediatrician appointment with just one vaccine shot: the pneumococcal vaccine! Date of vaccination 6\/25\/07. They never held hands again after that day. The girl (Clair) shut completely off just 2 hours after the shot. The first boy, Richie, shut down 4 hours after the shot.

They were all 9 months and 4 days old at the time with no problems. The geneticist that was consulted told the McDowell&#8217;s that it is an IMPOSSIBILITY for this to happen due to GENETICS. It is impossible for three different siblings to genetically get autism on the same day. What they mean by that statement is that the odds of this happening are so rare that you are highly unlikely to see a single case like this in your lifetime if it happened by chance. The article goes on to say, \u201cWe hear about children getting autism ALL THE TIME\u00a0<strong>after<\/strong>\u00a0their vaccinations.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Hannah Poling developed autism within 2 days after her shot.

Start listening at 23:00. The punchline is at 28:33. Basically, the ethylmercury in the thimerosal makes a beeline out of your blood and deposits into your brain (unlike the methylmercury in fish which has a harder time entering your brain so it stays in your blood longer). Offit tried to convince RFK that the mercury gets excreted by referring to a paper. When RFK brought up the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC1280342\/\" rel=\" nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Burbacher study<\/a>, there was dead silence on the line because Offit knew he had been caught in a deception.

But this just affects the mix of my respondents in terms of number of vaccines they give their kids. It\u2019s going to be lower for my followers than a full nationwide survey.<\/p>\n<p>But if the measures are independent of the mix of the respondents, then it simply doesn\u2019t matter that I have a skewed mix of respondents.<\/p>\n<p>If vaccines don\u2019t cause autism, the rate of autism among parents who gave their child 0 shots will be identical to the rate of autism among parents who gave their child any number of shots. So that blue line above should be a horizontal line (slope of 0).<\/p>\n<p>Just to be sure, we found that the rate of birth defects didn\u2019t change no matter how many shots you gave your child since birth defects happen before the shots. It was the control for the survey.<\/p>\n<p>But the rate of autism increases based on the number of shots the child received as the blue line above shows. That\u2019s a huge problem for the narrative because they can\u2019t claim my data is biased or flawed; it won\u2019t work.<\/p>\n<p>This is a dose-response relationship. The higher the dose, the higher the response. That is a \u201csmoking gun\u201d for causality.<\/p>\n<p>The only argument left is that kids who got more shots saw the doctor more and had more chances to be diagnosed with autism. The problems with that explanation:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/childrenshealthdefense.org\/defender\/study-unvaccinated-healthier-vaccinated-kids\/\" rel=\" nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">It was disproved in the Lyons-Weiler study<\/a>; the kids who didn\u2019t get vaccinated were more likely to keep their wellness clinic visits, precisely the opposite of what is claimed. If anything, the kids who got no vaccines should have been diagnosed with autism more because they kept their wellness appointments.<\/li>\n<li>Missing autism in doctor visit is like missing a train wreck. It\u2019s generally not a subtle thing. It\u2019s very binary. You either see it or you don\u2019t.<\/li>\n<li>You can\u2019t get through the kids vaccine schedule in fewer than 7 visits. If diagnosis is simply proportional to vaccination visit frequency, the kids who are fully vaxxed would have at least 7X the rate of autism as the kids who are sparsely vaccinated.<\/li>\n<li>Kids see their pediatrician more times than just the vaccine appointment. The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nationalvanguard.org\/2020\/12\/ten-year-study-unvaccinated-children-far-healthier-than-their-vaccinated-peers\/\" rel=\" nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Paul Thomas study showed the fully vaccinated kids had 25X more healthcare visits than unvaccinated kids<\/a>. So the rate of autism for the fully vaccinated should be 25X higher than rarely vaccinated. It\u2019s not. It\u2019s only around 4X higher.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>And nobody on earth seems to have the courage to do their own survey!!! Isn\u2019t that interesting? Mine took only 24 hours to return results. What is everyone so afraid of?<\/p>\n<p>More importantly, how come in over 25 years, nobody has done the survey I just did? Are scientists afraid of the truth?<\/p>\n<p>My\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/stevekirsch.substack.com\/p\/the-data-is-clear-the-more-vaccines\" rel=\" nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">data is available for anyone to download and analyze just like independent statistician Matt Briggs did<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Would anyone want to fact check my survey and talk to all 10,000 parents directly to validate they were telling the truth? You can do a statistical sample of 100 at random. Please!!! Why won\u2019t anyone fact check this?? I\u2019d jump at the opportunity to have the responses \u201cfact checked.\u201d There is simply no way, even if my followers wanted to support me, they could have gamed the survey. I really want the fact check because it would end the debate. There is no way to explain such a smooth effect.<\/p>\n<p>My survey found the same odds ratio for autism and vaccines as found in the Hooker and Mawson studies. Again, more confirmation that my survey reflected reality rather than distorted view of reality.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"header-with-anchor-widget\">Studies of the vaxxed vs. unvaxxed<\/h3>\n<p>There are numerous studies of the unvaxxed vs. vaxxed which show a statistically significant higher rate of autism and other chronic diseases in the vaccinated.<\/p>\n<p>More importantly, those who argue that this is not the case cannot produce a single study of the\u00a0<strong>fully unvaxxed<\/strong>\u00a0vs.\u00a0<strong>fully vaxxed<\/strong>\u00a0showing that the number of autism cases are comparable in the two groups. In fact, even in the highly acclaimed (but deeply flawed) Madsen study, there was a statistically significant higher incidence of autism in the \u201cgot MMR vax group\u201d vs. \u201cdidn\u2019t get MMR vax group\u201d (p=.01) in the raw data before they made the signal go in the opposite direction by doing undisclosed adjustments (changing the relative risk from 1.45 to .92. The \u201cadjusted\u201d RR value had a confidence interval of .68 to 1.24 which means that even after applying all their \u201cadjustments\u201d they can\u2019t rule out the possibility that the MMR vaccine raises the risk of autism. And this is their best study!! Nobody ever tells you about this\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ugeskriftet.dk\/dmj\/danish-mmr-vaccination-coverage-considerably-higher-reported\" rel=\" nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">paper showing\u00a0<\/a><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ugeskriftet.dk\/dmj\/danish-mmr-vaccination-coverage-considerably-higher-reported\" rel=\" nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">the underlying data they used is flawed<\/a><\/strong>.

Homefirst&#8217;s medical director, Dr. Mayer Eisenstein, told us\u00a0<strong>he is not aware of any cases of autism in never-vaccinated children<\/strong>; the national rate is 1 in 175, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. &#8220;We have a fairly large practice,&#8221; Eisenstein told us. &#8220;<strong>We have about 30,000 or 35,000 children that we&#8217;ve taken care of over the years, and I don&#8217;t think we have a single case of autism in children delivered by us who never received vaccines<\/strong>. &#8220;We do have enough of a sample,&#8221; Eisenstein said. &#8220;The numbers are too large to not see it.

That is impossible if vaccines don\u2019t cause autism.<\/li>\n<li>It turns out that that there is a second peak in autism reports for some vaccines around day 15-30. Strong peaks like this after vaccination are a smoking gun for causality because if it was just coincidence, there would be a peak near the date of the shot and the curve would go down from there. It doesn\u2019t. There is a second peak for several vaccines. I bet you can guess which ones give that second peak, can\u2019t you?

Many parents notice a sudden, dramatic change in their child shortly after vaccination. But the funny thing is, none of them noticed this right before the appointment with the pediatrician to get the shot. It\u2019s simply nearly impossible to achieve a disparity like this if the shots are safe.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t observer bias either. If a child suddenly developed autistic behaviors right before the doctor appointment to get vaccinated, you can bet the first thing out of the parent\u2019s mouth would be telling the doctor before the shot of the sudden change. What pediatrician in the world can recall that ever happening?<\/p>\n<p>Yet we are inundated with stories of parents saying their child got a fever right after the shot, the parent may have given the child Tylenol (which makes everything worse), and within hours, the child is never the same.<\/p>\n<p>These clearly aren\u2019t anti-vaxxer parents who believe Wakefield because if they were, they wouldn\u2019t have vaccinated their child!!! So there is no way to ignore these reports.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Pediatrician Doug Hulstedt statistics:\u00a0<\/strong>He had 150 autism patients, about half where the parents linked the autism to the vaccine. He said there were 44 cases where autism signs developed very quickly. In\u00a0<strong>every single case,<\/strong>\u00a0the regression happened within 2 weeks\u00a0<strong>after\u00a0<\/strong>a vaccine shot rather than in the days or weeks\u00a0<strong>before\u00a0<\/strong>a vaccine appointment.<strong>\u00a0That is statistically impossible if the vaccine is a placebo (<\/strong><code>poisson.cdf(0,44)=7.781132241133785e-20<\/code><strong>).\u00a0<\/strong>But even more devastating is that you cannot find a pediatrician in the world where the before\/after stats are comparable. Why not? If the vaccines are safe, every pediatrician should have comparable before vs. after stats and it would be impossible to find a single Doug Hulstedt.<\/li>\n<li><strong>My survey of parents of 300 autistic kids<\/strong>\u00a0showed a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/stevekirsch.substack.com\/p\/how-can-i-be-so-sure-that-vaccines\" rel=\" nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">0:66 odds for getting autism the month before a vax shot vs. within a month after a shot<\/a>. This is in remarkable agreement with Doug Hulstedt\u2019s numbers. This is impossible if vaccines don\u2019t cause autism. Even if my study is biased because many of my followers joined after their kids got autism, those parents comprise a small fraction of my follower base. How could the same be true for the kids of the vast majority of my followers who follow me for other reasons?\n<div class=\"captioned-image-container\">\n<figure>\n<div class=\"image2-inset\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2e25c35c-aefb-4ce8-b967-205316ff2541_566x406.png 424w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2e25c35c-aefb-4ce8-b967-205316ff2541_566x406.png 848w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2e25c35c-aefb-4ce8-b967-205316ff2541_566x406.png 1272w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2e25c35c-aefb-4ce8-b967-205316ff2541_566x406.png 1456w\" type=\"image\/webp\" sizes=\"100vw\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"sizing-normal\" src=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2e25c35c-aefb-4ce8-b967-205316ff2541_566x406.png\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2e25c35c-aefb-4ce8-b967-205316ff2541_566x406.png 424w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2e25c35c-aefb-4ce8-b967-205316ff2541_566x406.png 848w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2e25c35c-aefb-4ce8-b967-205316ff2541_566x406.png 1272w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2e25c35c-aefb-4ce8-b967-205316ff2541_566x406.png 1456w\" alt=\"\" width=\"566\" height=\"406\" data-attrs=\"{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/public\/images\/2e25c35c-aefb-4ce8-b967-205316ff2541_566x406.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:406,&quot;width&quot;:566,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/stevekirsch.substack.com\/p\/how-can-i-be-so-sure-that-vaccines&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null}\" \/><\/picture>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>The fact that nobody is doing these studies<\/strong>.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/stevekirsch.substack.com\/p\/highly-acclaimed-madsen-study-2002\" rel=\" nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">This article<\/a>\u00a0points out that the most effective way to answer the question about whether vaccines cause autism is to plot the before:after data for each vaccine and each dose.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>What\u2019s interesting and telling is that I can easily name 24 parents whose kids first developed very obvious telltale autistic behaviors within 24 hours after the shot.

Coincidence? The Japan numbers are even more staggering: Annual incidence of ASDs for children born in 1987 was 20-per-10,000, but after MMR was introduced, in 1988, annual incidence\u00a0<em>more than quadrupled<\/em>, to 85.9-per-10,000 for children born in 1990. But then, MMR coverage began to decline dramatically, as concerns over the mumps viral component grew. ASD incidence likewise declined during this period, to 55.8 for children born in 1991 \u2013 representing a drop of 35%. So you add it, the problem increases; you subtract it, the problem decreases. That\u2019s a clear marker of causality.<\/li>\n<li>Autism really took off exponentially in the US in 1986, right after Congress made the vaccine manufacturer not liable for injuries.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cOvernight autism\u201d is unlikely to be triggered by something you eat or is in the environment because all of these would be a very slow effect. So it MUST be something injected. That\u2019s the most likely biologically plausible cause of something so dramatic in your brain. The only thing injected into most people are vaccines. What else could have caused the McDowell triplets to have become overnight autistic within hours of each other?<\/li>\n<li>Autism is brain injury. The only things that could cause such an injury is a pathogen that is either injected, ingested, inhaled, or absorbed by the skin. There may also be a genetic cause. This limits our solution space.<\/li>\n<li>There is not a single cause for autism. If you remove the major causes (e.g., vaccination, use of Tylenol, etc.), autism will still happen, but at a much lower rate.<\/li>\n<li>Tylenol given to a child after vaccination will increase the risk that the child will develop autism. In 2\/3 of the autism cases, the parents gave the child Tylenol in an attempt to reduce the fever post vaccine. Most scientists I know believe that this actually exacerbates the risk rather than reducing it: the body is basically trying to get rid of the pathogen and the Tylenol disarms the body\u2019s ability to do that. Here\u2019s a Twitter survey showing some rough statistics showing vaccine+tylenol is more common than not, but that tylenol doesn\u2019t have to be given for your child to get autism:\n<div class=\"captioned-image-container\">\n<figure>\n<div class=\"image2-inset\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa2ea7611-e547-47c8-a642-e383d7580c9b_888x469.png 424w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa2ea7611-e547-47c8-a642-e383d7580c9b_888x469.png 848w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa2ea7611-e547-47c8-a642-e383d7580c9b_888x469.png 1272w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa2ea7611-e547-47c8-a642-e383d7580c9b_888x469.png 1456w\" type=\"image\/webp\" sizes=\"100vw\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"sizing-normal\" src=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa2ea7611-e547-47c8-a642-e383d7580c9b_888x469.png\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa2ea7611-e547-47c8-a642-e383d7580c9b_888x469.png 424w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa2ea7611-e547-47c8-a642-e383d7580c9b_888x469.png 848w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa2ea7611-e547-47c8-a642-e383d7580c9b_888x469.png 1272w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa2ea7611-e547-47c8-a642-e383d7580c9b_888x469.png 1456w\" alt=\"\" width=\"888\" height=\"469\" data-attrs=\"{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/public\/images\/a2ea7611-e547-47c8-a642-e383d7580c9b_888x469.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:469,&quot;width&quot;:888,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:65259,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image\/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null}\" \/><\/picture>\n<div class=\"image-link-expand\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>Vaccines are much more likely to cause a febrile seizure than a virus would.

In one clinic (Doug Hulstedt), all 44 cases of overnight autism happened within 2 weeks after a vaccine. There are many cases, some very high profile, of kids turning autistic within 24 hours after a vaccine. By contrast, there are no cases in history that anyone is aware of where a child became autistic 24 hours before the child was scheduled to get a vaccine. If vaccines don\u2019t cause autism, the frequency of cases before a vaccine and after a vaccine should be identical.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Autism risk is proportional to dosage.<\/strong>\u00a0Multiple independent surveys (including 3 published in the peer review literature: Mawson, Hooker, and Garner) show clearly that more vaccines lead to higher likelihood of autism (and other auto-immune disorders). Mawson, Hooker, and I all found a 5X odds ratio of autism for vaccinated kids vs. unvaccinated kids.<\/li>\n<li><strong>DeStefano paper corruption<\/strong>: When the CDC looked at the MMR vaccine, they had to have one of the investigators destroy the data showing the link between MMR and autism. This was done before the paper was published so this wasn\u2019t just \u201chousecleaning.\u201d The only data ordered to be destroyed was the data relative to the race analysis which showed a strong signal that could not be obfuscated.
