Growing Autism Epidemic

David Brownstein, M.D. By Tuesday, 12 June 2018 04:33 PM EDT Current | Bio | Archive

In past generations, autism was not a major illness. But the rate has skyrocketed in recent years.

From 1940 to 1990, the rate of autism was 1 in 10,000. But suddenly, in 1998, it jumped to 1 in 500. By 2014, it had increased to 1 in 68. Clearly, something is happening.

This epidemic growth of autism is going too fast to be caused by genetics alone. There must be something our entire population is being exposed to. Vaccines may well be the cause.

Sadly, the CDC has stated that no further vaccine/ autism studies are needed. How they can say this and sleep at night, I don’t know.

Until we find the answer, parents deserve the right to question whether or not vaccinations are safe. What parent would knowingly allow his or her child to be injected with a toxic substance? Not one.

Yet the media, healthcare providers, and the powers that be continually vilify parents who are uncomfortable vaccinating their children.
