It's now the turn of Toby Rogers of the Brownstone Institute to weigh in on the autism issue with his story of discovery of the likely relevance of vaccines as a cause of autism.
He is giving evidence to the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations within the US Senate.
"According to a study by the EPA, sometime around 1987 the autism rate in the US began to skyrocket (McDonald and Paul, 2010)"
"The most recent report from the CDC showed that 1 in 31 eight-year-old children in the US in 2022 were on the autism spectrum (Shaw et al., 2025)"
"That’s a 32,158% increase in the last 52 years"
"The critical missing piece in autism research is vaccinated vs. unvaccinated studies. Thankfully there are now six good studies that we can rely on."
