The problem with that study is that it's a retrospective cohort epidemiological study. And the biggest critique that I have of that type of research is that the researchers decide what they control for and what they don't control for.

But the existing research right now, as published and as designed, suggests that if you don't get a vaccine, you're more likely to develop autism than if you do get a vaccine. And how would I understand that? I just talked about it. Infections themselves can cause neurodevelopmental disorders. So if a child gets measles...

they're not only at risk of dying of measles, they're also at risk of impacting their mitochondrial function and developing a neurodevelopmental disorder as a result of getting a severe infection.

I mean, the science that I just laid out is true. It's clear. And again, we've got decades of research to support most of what I've just said, all of what I've just said, I think. If you understand the biology... When a child begins to show symptoms of a neurodevelopmental disorder, instead of assigning a label, this is autism. It's a life sentence. Good luck. We should be intervening.

And what could we do to intervene? What you just said in terms of prevention strategies, absolutely. Let's make sure that even before you're going to the doctor, even before you're exposing yourself to any of these vaccines, that you're healthy. Why? Because we want you to be healthy. Why wouldn't you want to be healthy? So let's just be healthy.

But I would actually go much further and say as soon as a child begins to show signs or symptoms, especially when it's an abrupt change, when they were developing in a neurotypical way and then all of a sudden they got an infection or they got a vaccine or something happened and now they are falling off the trajectory of And that's what we hear from these parents who are saying, no, this is real.

That's why they believe vaccines cause it. Do I think it was just the vaccine on its own? I suspect a lot of them have had other hits. They probably had other vulnerabilities going into that vaccination. And that the vaccination, if we even entertain the possibility that that vaccine did contribute to their autism, I'm doubtful that it was the sole only cause.
