And we know that a lot of the, you know, people talk about early intervention with autism as though early intervention is going to save the day. I don't mean to bash the people doing that work.

So those strategies are just not working. They're not working for prevention. They're not working to improve long-term outcomes. They're not, I mean, we have a lot of work to do, so.

I don't disagree. And I've actually talked to some former NIMH directors about this and some other leading people in this field. And... There's no doubt that this topic has been brought up multiple times at the NIH. So there's this interagency coordinating committee on autism among all of the NIH kind of centers and institutes. It's existed for decades. They have...

looked into this issue i've talked to some autism advocates who've said like i was hoping that vaccines might be the cause like i was really hoping to see that vaccines are the cause because that would then give us a cause and it would lead us to interventions um to make vaccines safer or whatever um and she said but it's just not there it's just not there and this

former NIMH director that I spoke with, it's just not there. Chris, it's not there. We looked. We looked high and low. Again, I'm not sure that everybody looked with the same degree of scrutiny. Again, the study that I saw looked at people who are unvaccinated by choice.

So these are rebellious people who are defying state laws, who are risking not getting their children into schools because they're not getting vaccinations. That's the cohort of unvaccinated people. And then they're comparing them to the cohort of vaccinated people. And they only controlled for like two or three variables. They did not control for obesity. They didn't control for diabetes.
