One of the most challenging things for me throughout my time in the medical field has been watching children become neurologically damaged by vaccines, and the widespread blindness of the medical profession to this issue. Unfortunately, because so much money has been spent to engineer the societal belief that vaccines do not cause autism, anyone who asserts otherwise is immediately subject to widespread ridicule, to the point it’s mostly a lost cause to convince medical professionals vaccines aren’t always safe. Sadly, in many cases, the only thing that can open their eyes is their own child being severely injured.
Since one of the central reasons the autism-vaccine link has always been dismissed is that there’s no established mechanism to explain how vaccines could cause autism, this article will focus on that question and why there has been so much resistance to understanding what is behind the autism epidemic.
Note: this is a significantly revised and updated version of a previously published article.
Direct to Consumer Advertising
I believe much of the blindness to the toxicity of vaccines was a result of Clinton’s 1997 decision to have the FTC allow direct pharmaceutical advertising to consumers. There are a lot of issues with this practice (the USA and New Zealand are essentially the only countries that allow it), and one effect it had was putting financial pressure on networks not to air stories critical of pharmaceuticals once they had become dependent on their advertising revenue.
Prior to this shift, news programs that were critical of vaccination would periodically be aired and were pivotal in awakening the public to the dangers of vaccination. Consider, for example, this 1978 program that was aired about a rushed experimental vaccine that ended up injuring a significant number of participants (and never would be aired today):
