And what I really hope and implore our field will do is we will come into the 21st century and begin to recognize that there is a cause

of schizophrenia, there is a cause of bipolar symptoms, there is a cause for chronic depression, and that we will begin to look for those causes and we will begin to treat those causes, as opposed to just putting people on antipsychotics or antidepressants or mood stabilizers and telling them, well, we're really sorry. We know these medicines don't cure your illness.

And I don't want to come down on one side that vaccines are 100% safe, there's no question about it, or yes, vaccines cause autism, and that's why we've got skyrocketing rates of autism, because I don't think either of those extreme positions is true.
