why there has been no study of vaccinated children vs unvaccinated children?

"I have not seen autism with the Amish," said Dr. Frank Noonan, a family practitioner in Lancaster County, Pa., who has treated thousands of Amish for a quarter-century. "You'll find all the other stuff, but we don't find the autism. We're right in the heart of Amish country and seeing none, and that's just the way it is."

The sharply rising autism prevalence that we documented in our study suggests that:

1.) the search for “the gene for autism” was a total boondoggle; and

2.) the soaring cost of autism will cause the political and economic collapse of the United States in our lifetime (so we should probably do something to stop children from being poisoned in the first place).

Apparently this was embarrassing to the Simons Foundation because it falsified their approach to autism. The Simons Foundation has largely captured the field of autism research and they have hundreds of academics who are dependent on their largesse. Rather than change direction based on new information the Simons Foundation doubled down on their wrongheaded strategy and they put the word out that ‘this article needs to get got.’ Some well-placed hit pieces soon followed from defenders of the status quo. ...

We battled them for two years but the fix was in from the beginning. So over the summer they disappeared our article and attached a digital scarlet letter for eternity, “RETRACTED!” The next day the Simons Foundation put out a hit piece on us just for good measure with an image of a trash can and the caption, “Case closed.” It was all so cartoonish and over the top — these are not serious scholars. ...

The facts remain: autism prevalence has been increasing for fifty years, the costs of autism are astronomical and growing (soon to hit a trillion dollars a year in the U.S.), and the U.S. will collapse in our lifetime if we don’t stop the mass poisoning of our children. ...

I cannot help but reflect on the tragedy of it all. Just imagine how different the world would be today if Bernard Rimland, Sallie Bernard, Mark Blaxill, or Lyn Redwood had been invited to those initial planning meetings in 2003 for the Simons Foundation’s autism research effort. Putting $200 million into political strategies to stop regulatory capture would have stopped the autism epidemic whereas the search for the “autism gene” allowed the epidemic to continue to surge.

It’s beyond infuriating that even as the Simons Foundation retreats from the front lines of the autism conversation they also went to great lengths to try to prevent anyone else (us!) from explaining how to stop the autism epidemic. ...

IV. Lessons learned

1. Retraction has been weaponized. It’s now just a tool for powerful interests to censor evidence they don’t like.

2. Censorship is a confession of guilt.

3. The other side is unable to have a conversation about the cost of autism.

4. Ignoring, suppressing, and denying evidence about rising autism prevalence and cost consigns the growing autism population to a life of misery and early death.

5. It’s not just Pharma that wants to cover up the autism epidemic — the trillion dollar a year Autism Industry wants to cover up what is happening as well.

6. It seems clear to me that Fred Volkmar and many of the so-called academic autism experts are committing research fraud.

7. Because they have committed crimes against humanity, the current gatekeepers will never change their ways. So it’s on us to replace the current system with something better.
