Status Updates From Autism's False Prophets: Ba...

I cannot wait to finish this book I have so many thoughts for my review… I will say they are definitely influenced by me being an autistic person who also almost died from pertussis despite vaccination because some nitwit at my school decided to not vaccinate their child.

i hope RFK jr also knows where he is going. Offit is doing a great job of line by line refuting the nonsense a lot of the individuals in this book spew.

I hope Andrew Wakefield knows where he’s going

The research on this one is phenomenal. What's striking so far is the amount of people who do not understand that research in the field of autism continues to increase awareness and diagnoses. Even as vaccination rates continue to drop due to a sadly successful misinformation campaign, autism rates continue to go up *because* of more awareness, which completely contradicts the causation theory.

ALTHOUGH SOME PARENTS HAVE BEEN SKEPTICAL OF THE SCIENTISTS and public health officials who failed to find that vaccines caused autism, questioning their motives and occasionally threatening them, they haven’t been similarly skeptical of the vast array of autism therapies, all of which are claimed to work and all of which are based on theories that are ill-founded, poorly conceived, contradictory, or disproved.
