Do vaccines cause autism?
The official 'case closed' declaration rests on a narrow and heavily conflicted evidence base. Multiple credentialed dissenting researchers, whistleblowers inside the CDC itself, and independent scientists point to biological mechanisms — neuroinflammation, aluminum adjuvant neurotoxicity, and mitochondrial dysfunction — that the consensus has never adequately ruled out. The question is not fringe; it is actively suppressed within regulatory science.
Evidence
- The most explosive entry in this record is the CDC whistleblower case.
- Independently, Dr. Christopher Exley (Keele University) published peer-reviewed work demonstrating measurably elevated aluminum concentrations in the brain tissue of autism-spectrum individuals, consistent with adjuvant-origin aluminum accumulation.
- Dr. Stephanie Seneff (MIT), analyzing VAERS and agricultural co-exposure data, identified glyphosate-adjuvant synergy as a plausible mechanistic accelerant.
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s 2021 book The Real Anthony Fauci and the Children's Health Defense database compile the Simpsonwood conference transcripts (2000), an internal CDC meeting where scientists privately expressed alarm at thimerosal-autism signal data before it was statistically 'reworked' for publication.
- Thompson's contemporaneous correspondence was published by Dr. Brian Hooker, and the original raw data was later reanalyzed in a 2014 paper in Translational Neurodegeneration.
