Deep dives

The Link Between Vaccines and Autism

In the late 1990s, concerns about vaccines and autism emerged when a CDC epidemiologist, Thomas Verstraeten, found a significant 1,135% elevated risk for an autism diagnosis among children who received the Hepatitis B vaccine within their first month of life. This led to a secret meeting at the Simpsonwood retreat center where CDC and industry officials discussed how to hide the findings. The explosion in chronic diseases, including autism, is attributed to the expansion of the vaccine schedule in 1989. Despite claims that the increase is due to improved diagnosis, there is evidence that the epidemic is real, and it is not solely due to better recognition. Autism rates continue to rise each year, and there is growing evidence linking vaccines to autism, although this is often dismissed or censored.
