"We have no idea WHAT causes Autism but we know that it is absolutely NOT the vaccine."

Anyone who cannot read between the lines and doesn't know a load of bullshit when they hear it... is going to have a VERY VERY difficult life as we enter The Island of Truth Tellers and Liars.

Dr. Offit is a LIAR.

There was no autism in the 1930s..and it really started rising, after vaccines were promoted regularly in the 1950s. Injecting hazardous waste into the body couldn't possibly have anything to do with brain damage...Could it? Didn't doctor's know that aluminum and mercury caused brain damage, back in the 1950s? I knew it! I just didn't know my children were being injected with it.

This is a documentary that Bobby Kennedy talks about; quite interesting:

My perspective is that it may be less about a particular vaccine with the exception of mRNA's like C19 vaxx, and more about WHEN and HOW MUCH at a given time. Also another questions of do they even do anything? Change the schedule stretching it out over a longer period of time with less BOLUS, start later in life after nervous system maturity and for God sakes get the VU (vaxx-unvaxx) studies already!

Did you know that injecting arsenic into the bloodstream was once considered murder??? What do you think injecting toxic items into the bloodstream, such as, graphene hydroxide, nanoparticles, polysorbate80, etc. does? .For the last 70 years. children have received injections containing: aluminum, mercury, fluoride, formaldehyde, animal cells, animal viruses. (and more)..to prevent disease ..or create more business for the doctors? Doctors didn't study nutrition so they may not have been aware that the only thing that belongs in the bloodstream are nutrients from natural unprocessed, pesticide-free food. Anything else DAMAGES every cell and organ in the body...and wipes out the glands in the brain, which create the ability to think.

Hence the need for VU studies

Expensive Studies designed to make sure a product is marketable....70 years of absolute lies...and people still trust the "Science"?

He also never met or spoke to the thousands of parents who can name the day their toddler stopped smiling, interacting, or developing. Criminal!

Actually, you will notice that the rhetoric has changed slightly. They used to say that vaccines don't cause autism and we don't really know what does.

Now they list several things that "probably" cause autism. They don't offer scientific, definitive proof and they never suggesting any ways to deal with those "causes". This takes away the ability of people to say that if they don't know what causes it, how do they know vaccines don't cause it? It's basically a new talking point so that the media can write narrative propaganda articles to keep hold of people who still want to believe in vaccines.

So, people like Offit need to be pressed when they give a list of what does cause it to show proof and to show that the CDC and NIH is taking action based on that proof. It's smoke and mirrors obviously. They don't have causation studies and the CDC and NIH are doing nothing to deal with it.

VERY good point.

I noticed it when a recent acquaintance posted an article on how vaccines don't cause autism. It also listed all the other things that probably cause it just like Offit just listed them off. Very similar list. I noticed it because I was anxious to read the studies that these assertions were based on and they weren't there. I thought, wow, sneaky. The pharmaceutical industry is very good at PSY-OPs and narrative making.

I saw a different but similarly intended article about why the hep B vaccine given at 0 days old is justified. It makes me sick to my stomach. And I can't believe it works on people after covid but here we are, still injecting 100% of newborns with vaccines intended to stop sexually transmitted diseases. Hopefully that changes soon.

How does anyone of scientific credibility even say that sentence out loud? Seriously? Thats like saying we don't know what causes back pain but it is absolutely not disc degeneration? WTF?

Dr. Offit is a Big Pharma Shill and he should be arrested.

I knew this years ago...he would not let parents with vax-injured children have any say ....and chased them out of his office. He is the lowest form of humanity...

I think prison would be more appropriate, he took money from big pharma and shot up American's with what everyone on the planet after the first year knew was deadly. To add insult to injury, he is still spewing his lies in the hopes of exonerating himself.

She didn’t give Calley the chance to respond to the claim that vaccines do not cause autism. Calley should have brought up how on earth could we know if no vaccine has ever been tested against a true placebo

In the 50's we all had measles when we were kids. We acquired much more robust immune systems because of it.

I also had measles but in the 70s when it made the rounds after chicken pox. All of this ‘sky is falling’ mentality over the new measles cases, which are ironically likely caused by exposure to the MMR vaccines, is utterly ridiculous.

Offit keeps saying “vaccines are safe” while Means repeatedly points out vaccines he approved were removed because of adverse events like death. Offit means the profits are safe.

The US doesn't have a health care problem; it has a sick care problem.

We don't feed patients plenty of drugs because they're healthy; we do that when they are sick. We are also finding that not all these drugs get people back to health.

The CDC was recommending adults get a third booster, I believe, and Offit decided not to take it. "Shots for thee (and lots of shots for thy children) but none for me"

CNN should be asking Offit why he doesn't trust the CDC recommendations and why he thinks parents should.

what is fricking deal about measles? I had them in the '50s, and everyone I know had measles. why in gods name have we turned measles into the end of the world? and for that matter, the climate changing. 12 years of school and people dont know that glaciers a mile and a half thick used to cover the northern half of the planet? that the sahara has rhinoceros fossils? apparently every penny spent on public education might as well be thrown into a wishing well.
