ER Editor: A reminder that autism here equates to symptoms of BRAIN DAMAGE. Autism is a polite, euphemistic word.
Given the current rates of American children with this condition (1 in 31 children, diagnosed by the age of 8), when is the penny going to drop that insane levels of childhood vaccination for American children has been an ACT OF SABOTAGE against the nation? This is the CDC Childhood Vaccine Schedule, which few if any other countries follow. Babies don’t have immune systems until around age 2, so why vaccinate before then? Why are so many toxic and/or metallic adjuvants in them? Why are babies vaccinated against Hep B, a sexually transmitted liver disease? The list of questions is endless.

RFK Jr. Exposes a Chilling New Autism Reality
And this by We The Patriots USA – RECOMMENDED —
RFK Jr. Holds Presser on Autism: “The Epidemic is Real.” And it’s time we stopped denying it.
As the parent of one of those children living with autism, I couldn’t agree more. I have personally witnessed the throngs of children living with this condition in the schools – both public and private – that my son has attended over the last several years. When I was growing up four decades ago, you would have been hard-pressed to find just one or two children in an entire school with the symptoms of autism. Today, special education programs are overflowing with these children, so much so that their budgets are stretched beyond their limits, leading administrators and staff to search for ways to deny services to children in IEP meetings (or, “Individualized Education Plan” meetings, where programming and services for special education students are discussed and determined). And that’s not mere conjecture. I have sat in numerous IEP meetings, in varying roles: as a parent, as legal counsel for another parent, and as staff (in my former career as an educator). But I’ve also had a special education director and a special education teacher confirm to me that their school districts pressured them to find ways to deny services as a cost-saving measure. That same special education teacher also confided in me that when she first began working as a special education teacher some 30 years ago, nearly all of her students were children with Down’s Syndrome, and now, they are virtually all children with autism.
What the symptoms can look like (same source) —
While there are certainly some cases that are mild, allowing people to live independently or with few supports, there are also millions of people with profound, or severe, autism, left unable to care for themselves, or even speak. Some need to wear helmets to protect against self-harm, as they continually bang their heads into walls. Others cannot sit still for more than a few moments, continually pacing, which might also be accompanied by persistent toe-walking and arm-flapping. Still others erupt into violent outbursts without warning, requiring their care-takers (usually family members) to live 24 hours, seven days a week on high alert. The truth is, even for individuals with profound autism who are not prone to violence, their caretakers must remain on high alert, to guard against dangerous behaviors like walking into traffic or elopement. Suicide and accidents are leading causes of deathin persons with autism. …
There is a scarcity of facilities or homes that are available to care for these individuals when their parents pass away, or can no longer care for them. What then? How are we as a nation, as a society, going to support them and care for them? If we can’t, where will all of them go?
This is why I said that the “acceptance” of ASD as another shade of normal is disgusting, as is the denial of the epidemic itself. …
Daily Mail — “The Autism Epidemic Is Running Rampant” – RFK Jr Addresses Latest CDC Report

“The Autism Epidemic Is Running Rampant” – RFK Jr Addresses Latest CDC Report Showing 1-In-20 Boys Diagnosed
A report released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on April 15 showed that 1 in 31 children in America has autism.
The figures, which mark another jump in a long line of increases, stem from the CDC’s latest Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network survey published in the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
The report prompted Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to say that “the autism epidemic is running rampant.”
“That’s up significantly from two years earlier and nearly five times higher than when the CDC first started running autism surveys in children born in 1992,” Kennedy said in an April 15 statement.
“Prevalence for boys is an astounding 1 in 20 and in California, it’s 1 in 12.5.”
“We need to move away from this ideology that the prevalence of autism increases are simply from better diagnosis, better recognition, or changing diagnostic criteria,” RFK Jr began his address this morning.
“This epidemic denial has become a feature in the mainstream media, and it’s based on an industry canard.”
“There are people who don’t want us to look at environmental exposures.”
“Doctors and therapists in the past were not stupid.”
“They weren’t missing all these cases.”

As Jeff Louderback reportsa for The Epoch Times, the previous ADDM report released in 2023 discovered that 1 in 36 8-year-old American children had autism in 2020. The April 15 survey reflects a 16.1 percent increase in two years.
The new ADDM report was conducted in 2022 across 16 sites in 14 states and surveyed 8-year-old children born in 2014.
The new autism prevalence is also 4.8 times higher than in the first ADDM survey 22 years ago, when 1 in 150 children had autism.
“The autism epidemic has now reached a scale unprecedented in human history because it affects the young,” Kennedy said in his April 15 statement.
“The risks and costs of this crisis are a thousand times more threatening to our country than COVID-19. Autism is preventable and it is unforgivable that we have not yet identified the underlying causes. We should have had these answers 20 years ago,” Kennedy added.
Autism Society of America spokeswoman Kristyn Roth told the Associated Press that more research is needed to find what causes autism, but she is alarmed about Kennedy’s approach.
“There is a deep concern that we are going backward and evaluating debunked theories,” Roth said.
Autism, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech, and nonverbal communication, according to Autism Speaks.
“There are many different factors that have been identified that may make a child more likely to have ASD, including environmental, biologic, and genetic factors,” the HHS website reads.
The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 established the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), a no-fault system for compensating individuals injured by certain vaccines.
This eliminated the potential financial liability of vaccine manufacturers due to vaccine injury claims.

In the early 1990s, just 1 in 10,000 children were diagnosed with autism. In the first decade of this century, the estimate rose to 1 in 150. In 2018, it was 1 in 44 before reaching 1 in 36 in 2020.
Last December, President Donald Trump said that he would also give Kennedy the freedom to investigate the potential link between vaccines and autism.
“When you look at some of the problems, when you look at what’s going on with disease and sickness in our country, something’s wrong,” Trump said in December.
“I think somebody has to find out. If you go back 25 years ago, you had very little autism.”
Kennedy has said for years that autism is likely tied to childhood vaccines.
The NIH supports and funds research into autism, as well as potential new vaccines.
Kennedy told The Epoch Times in September that he would revamp the NIH to focus on the causes of autism, autoimmune diseases, and neurodevelopmental diseases instead of developing drugs and serving as an incubator for pharmaceutical products.
In February, after the Senate confirmed Kennedy as health secretary, Trump established the Make America Healthy Again Commission, which the White House stated would investigate the “root causes of America’s escalating health crisis.”
At Trump’s April 10 cabinet meeting, Kennedy announced that HHS has “launched a massive testing and research effort that’s going to involve hundreds of scientists from around the world” to determine what has caused autism rates to spike in recent years.
“By September, we will know what has caused the autism epidemic, and we’ll be able to eliminate those exposures,” he noted.
For parents and vaccine safety advocates such as Scott Shoemaker and MaryJo Perry, extensively studying potential links between childhood vaccines and autism is long overdue.
Shoemaker told The Epoch Times that his son was diagnosed with autism at the age of 15 months.
“The bottom line is we want the truth,” said Shoemaker, who is president of Health Freedom Ohio.
“We want safe products for our kids. We don’t want big pharma to just say vaccines are safe and effective.”
According to Children’s Health Defense, there has not been a double-blind placebo-controlled safety study on infant vaccines.
“That needs to happen,” Perry told The Epoch Times. “There is no liability and no accountability for pharmaceutical companies. That needs to change.”
Perry, who is president of Mississippi Parents for Vaccine Rights, said that all vaccines should undergo extensive safety studies and results should be “accurate and transparent.”
“If it’s good and safe, parents will use it,” she said. “You won’t have to coerce parents if it’s good and safe.”
Hard not to get emotional. We’ve got somebody who isn’t going to silence or shame mothers that don’t understand how their healthy child all of a sudden wasn’t anymore. Science is about following the facts and not ignoring inconvenient evidence that might disadvantage big…
