A note to commentators: If you feel the need to leave nasty anti-Jewish or anti-Israel sentiments in the comments, you will no longer be welcome to participate in this discussion. I'd like to respectfully suggest that we all try to remember that ad hominem attacks, and blanket statements against groups of people, do not move the conversation forward. I'd also like to point out, as others have, that "autism" is an umbrella term. Neurodiversity is something to celebrate, not stop. However, severe autism, categorized by being unable to communicate, read, participate in this discussion, toilet oneself, or live independently, confers a life expectancy of half the national average. Perhaps we need a separate term for environmentally induced brain damage. As Dr. Jonathan Rose, father of two young adult children with autism, points out in this article, severe autism is very different from neurodiversity. https://jennifermargulis.substack.com/p/its-time-to-change-the-public-discourse
As you said, there should be a clear delineation between disabling autism and neurodivergence that, in some cases, elevates people if provided with the right learning and social environmental training.
There used to be, but people stopped wanting to call Aspberger's by its name because of who its named after.
Please correct me if I am wrong, that most cases of neurodiversity are due to neurological injury caused by childhood vaccines. If that is true, then why is that something to "celebrate"?
There is not a single cause of anything, and every person with a diagnosis actually has a unique condition. Our medical model acknowledges neither of these facts which apply to every supposedly distinct disease brand.
The rapid rise in autism seems to parallel the rise of metabolic syndrome in many countries. One wonders if cytokines and other inflammatory products associated with this cross the placental affecting neuronal development contributing to increases rates of autism.
We have many factors combining, but clearly the poisons injected under the guise of medicine contribute greatly, and even more clearly: our federal agencies exist to cover up for industry.
Obesity(and particularly the modern form of gross obesity) is associated with autoimmunity, which is a known maternal risk factor for autism. These things are clearly related.
Low 25-hydroxyvitamin D in pregnancy raise the risk for autism, ADHD etc. in the offspring as well as pre-eclampsia, low birthweight and pre-term birth. See the research cited and discussed at: https://vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/#3.2
James Lyons-Weiler mentioned these and some other articles regarding paracetamol / acetominophen in a book he wrote, and a letter he sent to 100 dens of schools of medicine in the USA: https://popularrationalism.substack.com/p/three-years-later-after- ipak-alerted. He also cited research regarding vaccines and fever:
found that 71% of kids with regressive autism had an episode of fever > 101°F In 33% of these cases, the fever occurred right after vaccination – and none showed regression unless fever had occurred." His whole Substack article is well worth reading. None of these 100 deans replied.
Recent research along these lines confirms the elevated risk, at least for ADHD. Baker et al. 2025 "Associations of maternal blood biomarkers of prenatal APAP exposure with placental gene expression and child attention deficit hyperactivity disorder", Nature Mental Health https://www.nature.com/articles/s44220-025-00387-6 (Paywalled.)
Abstract:
Despite evidence linking prenatal acetaminophen (APAP) exposure and adverse neurodevelopment in humans and animals, over half of pregnant women in most populations use APAP. Prior studies could be biased by inaccurate self-reported APAP use, and the molecular mechanisms linking prenatal APAP with adverse neurodevelopment are unknown. Here we estimated associations between maternal plasma biomarkers of APAP exposure, child attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and placental gene expression in 307 African American mother–child pairs. Overall, detection of APAP in second trimester plasma was associated with higher odds for child ADHD diagnosis (odds ratio of 3.15 (95% confidence interval 1.20 to 8.29)). Prenatal APAP exposure and ADHD were associated with placental upregulation of immune system pathways in females and downregulation of oxidative phosphorylation in both sexes. In females only, prenatal APAP was associated with 5.22% higher odds (0.0456–13.1%) of ADHD statistically, mediated through increased immunoglobulin heavy constant gamma 1 (IGHG1) expression. These results highlight placental molecular mechanisms that may underlie developmental toxicity of prenatal APAP exposure.
Simply put I am in a continual state of cold anger this is just another example of the strangulation hold big Pharma has on everyone if it’s not hiding the data it’s the marketing of their products as Jack Kruse aptly stated “Marketing is legalized lying.” I remember when doctors were hesitant to give children and pregnant women any kind of medication. How far we have come from the BS if safe and effective. The criminals must pay when will people rise up and say enough is enough!
I remember interviewing Lyn Redwood, an RN married to an MD (her husband, Tommy Redwood, is one of the best emergency room doctors in the state of Georgia) and she said this too, Dory. She said that when she was first practicing nursing, the very clear instructions were to try very hard to NOT give pregnant women any over-the-counter or prescription medications and **no** vaccines. Now we are basically forcing (or terrifying women into getting) 2 flu shots, 2 COVID vaccines, and a TdaP on pregnant women. Hoping that will change soon as the new head of HHS starts re-implementing the precautionary principle.
Thank you for your response Jennifer. It is surreal to me what has happened to nurses and doctors loss of common sense. Much less knowledge and oath to do no harm. Women comply to the no alcohol no sushi blah blah blah but they will roll their sleeve op or open the mouth and swallow big Pharma candy no questions asked ? I have concerns about the new head of HHS I was more hopeful a couple of months ago but I fear Big Pharma has a vice grip on Kennedy’s neck. Rumor has it they have dirt on him he doesn’t want revealed. Have you seen the latest interview with Mike Yeadon? It is an Odyssey Film it’s excellent I have been listening to Yeadon since the Scamdemic reared its tyrannical head. He has been a voice of reason in a grossly unreasonable sea of propaganda. Thank you for all you do to educate, inspire and knock on the doors of the minds of critical thinkers. Keep up the good work. Dory
RFK Jr.'s life has been an open book for decades and his 40 years actively working the 12 steps has oriented him to truth telling. So I wouldn't buy into the rumors about him being extorted into betraying his mission.
Bobby is a careful, meticulous lawyer and knows the facts will carry the day much better than an argument. He is moving at what feels like a snails pace to the many who had (unrealistic) expectations that he would go into HHS and go scorched earth, but he is laying the groundwork.
His plan, which he stated clearly for anyone listening, is to do the science that will expose the fraud and end it once and for all. If he can get to the compelling truth, the question of Pharma corruption becomes a blatant fact rather than a political argument, and it will change the tide of public opinion and thus of law-makers, who stand to be exposed as Pharma tools.
So everyone needs to take a breath and be patient. He is also under attack from all sides, Pharma and its big money cronies especially, so if MAGA can keep the faith and hold the line I think it would help hugely to take the pressure off him at least from our side. Let's give him some grace.
Big pharma is all out to destroy him. They have thousands even hundreds of thousands of bots all over the internet with fake AI generated negative messages about RFK. Try to ignore the fake news. Ignore the media. Listen and watch what he says and does. He is 100% on our side!
I've been surprised at the food companies' immediate action on food dyes. To me, it says that they have known all along about the dangers yet decided to keep being greedy by using cheap petroleum based dyes/flavorings in our food. They had the ability to change course years ago and they did for foreign counties purchasing their "food" products. Shameful!
Perfectly stated. Thank you. I’m constantly stunned at how quickly some people can turn and eat their own when the timeframe of action doesn’t fit their own.
Bobby truly is shouting at the tsunami from all sides. You are correct in saying he will march on with the facts rather than argue. The facts will expose the rotten underbelly once they are well and firmly
With you on that 100% Leah. And frankly I think he’s operating in an extremely constraining environment of very darkened and dangerous conditions. I want everyone to pray Light dispels the darkness and make America healthy again prevail.
As for the doubters,
Straighten up and fly right people… use your imagination ffs After all we have seen of the willful maiming and killing what kind of territory do you think RFK is traveling in?? The man is our first and best chance for the sake of the children and the country which Autism alone will de$troy by 2035. That’s just a fact and you should NOT be surprised if you have NOT heard it on the fake news
Bobby is absolutely not a careful, meticulous lawyer. Recently heard him present a favorable appellate court decision as though it was a trial decision. They’re too different arenas. He’s either incredibly sloppy or is ok with misleading a listener.
Don’t forget that he says that not a single vaccine has been through a double blind placebo clinical trial and thus “not proven safe and effective”. Yet, he had all of his children and family vaccinated. And thinks people should be able to “choose”.
But ibuprofen is OTC and didn't show evidence of harm. And yes, you can blame big Pharma because you rarely get a choice if you are hospitalized. You get Tylenol.
When did we begin to believe that taking anything during pregnancy was safe? I refused to take even an aspirin (my children were born in 1984 & 1987) - did not drink coffee or alcohol. And would not get near anything that smelled like a toxic fume.
Seems like common sense, doesn't it Judy, to avoid chemicals and noxious fumes and any medicine that is not a real food (or derived from real foods) during pregnancy? It's amazing how direct-to-consumer advertising coupled with doctor's office endorsements can derail common sense and throw the precautionary principle out the window.
The Media is at fault for spreading the Pharmaceutical Propaganda, and both parties are profiting and the expense of our lives. There were not TV advertisements for pharmaceutical products when I grew up, now we are constantly bombarded with Prescription and OTC ads which brainwash us into thinking they are safe…even with the disclaimer. Capitalism is definitely a two edged sword. Don’t get me wrong, my husband takes Calquence for CLL and it has worked great. But we all have a unique chemical and genetic makeup; infants exposed, in vitro or after birth, are much more vulnerable than adults.
Common sense - the operative word .........where did it go?! or did it just get replaced with indoctrination? hmmmm........did you notice the "doc" in there? thanks again for a wonderful piece ....certainly something to think about ....
Something for everyone to ponder: Autoimmune disease has skyrocketed along with vax rates. Since there are cells from aborted babies in every vax, those are parts of a BODY. Autoimmune is when the body attacks the body. HOW is an infant’s BODY to know to mount a defense against polio (or whatever) yet NOT mount a defense against its own BODY? If there are HEK (Human Embryonic Kidney) cells in that vial, HOW does the body know not to attack the kidneys or the entire body?
I’m no biologist. I do flowers and manage a few horses. I used to be a teacher years ago. I just need an explanation as to how the body is supposed to know not to attack itself when body parts are present. And if there are peanut cells, or some of the latex from the vial
lid gets onto the needle, HOW does the body not always mount a defense to nuts/latex?
I also hopes he looks into vaccines as a cause for autism. It might turn out to be "multiple" causes but it sure would be nice if we could find out if a vaccinated child ALSO received Tylenol or if the mom ever had Tylenol when she was pregnant. Could it be the combination of both Tylenol and Vaccines?
I asked him about vaccines during the interview, and vaccine-induced autism is a topic Dr. William Parker and I have also discussed at length. In order for acetaminophen to do damage, there has to be oxidative stress. Vaccines CAUSE oxidative stress. As do wild illnesses. This, to me, strongly suggests that vaccines are an important piece of the puzzle. As we discuss in the book, "The Vaccine-Friendly Plan," Tylenol + vaccines + glyphosate = autism, over and over and over again... Also, if you give NO vaccines then chances are your child is much much less likely to need Tylenol...
It literally lists ASD as a potential side effect on virtually ALL vax inserts. The insert ones that are difficult to get a hold of now.
Oxidative stress from the toxic poisonous adjuvants and aborted foetal cells are a recipe for a myriad of immune decimating disorders which we’re seeing an explosion of today.
The paracetamols (and also antibiotic) overuse are implicated for sure.
low glutathione also worsens asthma making the link you provided a good tool for fighting asthma. also my suspicion is that asthma is caused by vaccines, possibly via anaphylaxis or …?
It's heartbreaking ~ tiny innocents coming into a world where even the adults who love them are *blind* to the simple common sense (that seemingly extinct human faculty again!) fact that Tylenol + vaccines + glyphosate is an absolutely in-your-face example of Bad Idea + Second Bad Idea + Third Bad Idea. Sucharit Bhakti is right, we have lost our ability to even think.
I have a daughter with profound autism, ID and epilepsy, I never took Tylenol or any medications during pregnancy, and even though the pediatrician recommended Tylenol following vaccinations, I never once gave it. This was late 1990s when I did not know how much thimerosal she was being injected with. So in our case, Tylenol had zero to do with it.
Did your daughter get prenatal ultrasound? How many did she have? I have studied this extensively, and I see a strong correlation. The cases of autism exploded in the early 1990’s. To find a cause for autism we need to find something which wasn’t used much before then. Tylenol can’t be the culprit, not by itself.
The allowed energy levels of prenatal ultrasounds were substantially increased in 1992.
Before 1992, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had limits for ultrasound output, with fetal applications limited to 94 mW/cm². In 1992, at the request of manufacturers and users, the FDA changed this limit to 720 mW/cm² for most applications, including fetal scanning. This represented an almost eight-fold increase in the allowed intensity for fetal examinations. The accepted frequency of doing ultrasounds also increased for one per pregnancy to at least 3.
Patients are told ultrasound is harmless, but it isn’t. It can be used to treat brain tumors, because it destroys brain cells, although a much higher dose is used.
Afi Koman (I think this is a pen name? I like it!), I'm very interested in this as well. I devoted a chapter of my book, "Your Baby, Your Way," to the dangers of routine ultrasounds. There are many reasons NOT to get any ultrasounds, including the very real possibility that they are a contributing factor to abnormal neurodevelopment.
I am an MD PhD, retired cancer researcher with time on my hands. I did a thorough AI aided research to find causative factors related to the increased autism epidemic. I used increasing incidence starting in the early 90’s as a screening tool. This eliminated many of the usual suspects, like thimerosol, and eliminated most but not all vaccines. The factor that jumped out at me was increased use of more powerful ultrasound machines. The timeline is right, there is an animal model of autism that can be triggered by prenatal ultrasound, there is solid science showing ultrasound damages brain tissue but at much higher doses than prenatal ultrasound. My problem is I need access to direct clinical data, like how many ultrasounds did autistic children get versus non autistic children. If you can give me a solution to this, we can be coauthors. And Afi Koman is not my name. (My hospital staff limit what a doctor can say in public without institutional permission, so as not to embarrass the place,or get it involved in litigation. )
Late 90s so both my girls only got one ultrasound. Btw, 15 months apart, my first daughter did not get 4 thimerosal DTP/HIb and no autism, second did, same schedule, different shots and manufacturers. Same environment, same full term normal healthy pregnancies I had no medical conditions, I was normal weight. No c-section. Both went home from hospital in 24 hours, perfect Apgar scores. Nothing different except the vaccines they got.
Thanks for responding, your experience is very helpful. You make a strong case for a vaccine link, specifically the multi dose Hemophilus influenza B (HIB) regimen. Thimerosal itself is not the answer, its use in pediatric vaccines was stopped in 2001, yet autism continued. But the 2,4,6 month Hib vaccine dosing started in 1990- 1991. Autism diagnosis started to increase dramatically after that. My own research shows a link between increased strength and frequency of prenatal ultrasounds and autism, which also increased around that time. To determine the cause we need to ask, what changed in that time period.
Those are the kind of stories we need. I don't believe that everyone that had their child vaccinated, gave Tylenol but we need these stories to put the pieces together! Thanks for sharing...
I agree with you, Elle. And it's also more than possible that parents who did not give their children Tylenol have children who were exposed to it -- by a babysitter, a well-meaning grandparent, a daycare provider. It's so ubiquitous that it's hard to know. Will just one dose "cause" autism? Some researchers say yes. I think that may be a way of looking the other way about vaccine-induced autism, but it's something to keep in mind. Another story that might resonate with you, Elle: https://jennifermargulis.net/vaccines-tylenol-cause-autism/
Don't know if your daughter got the DTP or the DTaP, but the DTP had an undisclosed ingredient--amorphous aluminium hydroxyphosphate sulfate--in addition to thimerosal. I believe it was Levi Quackenbush, who wrote an article regarding AAHS in the DTP back in 2017.
In the Simpson Wood transcript, one of the attendees specifically mentioned the huge science-data safety unknown is the synergy between thimerosal and aluminum which is likely additive, meaning the two together are more toxic than each by themselves.
Levi Quakenbush published an excellent newsletter. Levi took leave from writing to work on the Kennedy campaign. I don't know if Levi still works on Kennedy things or is publishing. Jennifer might know.
Approx 20 percent of autism is caused by single gene variants and syndromes that are purely genetic. The other 80 percent is of unknown origin but appears to be highly heritable. In twin studies, identical twins with identical genes do not always both have autism. Results are varied in the studies but they range from 60-90 percent that I have seen. This means that some outside environmental trigger is likely acting in this 80 percent cohort. Dr Parker and Goldberg make a compelling case that acetaminophen is the trigger in children with the genetic setup to be poor metabolizers of acetaminophen.
If genetics are the primary driver of autism why are the parents of severe non verbal children able to talk, hold jobs, drive cars, get married, and raise children of their own?
"Well, The autistic kid had a weird uncle." Does not fly.
If the primary driver were genetics then even weird dads would beget weird children. But they wouldn't be having children who couldn't function in society, or even keep themselves alive in adulthood, on their own.
If the primary driver was genetic, the severe cases would reach terminus. Because they do not procreate and have children.
We have mapped the human genome. Most of the research money in the last 30 years has gone to genetic research on autism. Yet we have no autism gene, we have no evidence of a recessive gene that is causing this. Most genetic differences in these children are De Novo, and not passed down by the parents. And even those findings only cover about 5% of autism cases.
Critics of the vaccine theory postulated that Hannah Poling had a genetic link that her mother gave her, but her mother pointed out that she was a lawyer and a nurse, highly functional, and did not have autism. They had no answer for her.
There is no autism gene.
There is no such thing as genetic epidemic. @AlexBerenson offers no science on his unsupported thesis that the vaccine industry has been pushing for decades. 20 years ago when my son was diagnosed I read every genetics article I could find. All of them ended with some version of saying that soon they would know the genetic causes and how to address it. They still end every paper on autism genetics the same way. Because there is no autism gene, they don't have anywhere else to look for an autism gene.
My understanding is that approx 20 percent of autism is tied to known monogenic or syndromic causes (fragile x, rett, scn1a). When there is id and epilepsy, higher likelihood that it fits into this 20 percent. The remaining approx 80 percent is essentially of unknown origin, and this 80 percent is believed by Dr Parker and Goldberg to be induced by acetaminophen toxicity in genetically predisposed children.
If you’re interested in the link between vaccines and autism, look up aluminum being used as an adjuvant in vaccines. There is a very strong link. The good news is the aluminum can be removed safely from the body by drinking silica rich mineral water. The number of aluminum containing vaccines has increased significantly over the past few decades.
Look up the various writings of Chris Exley, on his silica detox protocol. He is arguably the world’s leading expert on aluminium. He has also helped thousands of young people injured by the Gardasil vaccine to clear the injurious aluminium so they can begin to recover. https://drchristopherexley.substack.com/p/frequently-answered-questions
Dr. Christopher Exley discusses this in his book, "Imagine You Are an Aluminum Atom: Discussions With Mr. Aluminum." Here's a referred link to Amazon to read more about it. And entire books have been written about silica-rich water as well: https://amzn.to/4eELxVa
The form of silica found in mineral water is orthostatic acid (OSA). KKB has mentioned Chris Exley, who writes on sub stack has done a great deal of research in this regard. Here is a link to my husband‘s and my website. You will find a list of silica waters that have enough silica to remove aluminum. You will also find information on autism and aluminum. https://prevent-alzheimers-autism-stroke.com/
It's the combination of Tylenol and vaccines. Studies have found that when kids are given Tylenol before or after vaccination they are significantly more likely to develop autism than if they are given another painkiller or none at all. Tylenol depletes glutathione, which impairs detoxification from the vaccines.
I'm guessing we looked at the same studies -- I didn't check out your sources while I read. Sorry I don't have time to reread right now but did you look into the class action lawsuit against Tylenol?
I didn't say they couldn't. I just said Tylenol significantly increases the risk of an adverse reaction to vaccinations. There's tons of other factors, including, apparently, "hot lots" of certain vaccines that are more dangerous. Nutrition is also huge -- low Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and glutathione will all increase the risk of vaccine injury. Tylenol depletes glutathione, which impairs detoxification and immune response.
"40 years ago when I started my practice, only 1 in 10,000 children had autism. Today it's 1 in 100. What is the only difference we have seen? The inordinate number of vaccines that are being given to children today. My partners and I have over 35,000 patients who have never been vaccinated. You know how many cases of autism we have seen? ZERO, ZERO. I have made this statement for over 40 years: ' NO VACCINES, NO AUTISM'. "
In Ireland they're saying it is now 1 in 20 school-aged children have this diagnosis. Put differently, approximately 5% of school children in Ireland have autism. These numbers are mindbogglingly high. And the mainstream media wants us to be afraid of chickenpox...
With over three decades of teaching experience, I can anecdotally tell you that that number is not truly representational. The first decade I taught, I had one. The second decade, I had a dozen. The final years before I walked away, it was far more rare for a kid NOT to be on the spectrum. My last year of teaching was limited to my private studio of 28. Only two were not. Did I become more aware? Sure. But, the awareness is nothing to being slapped in the face with a truckload of kids who cannot meet your eyes, rock when flustered, and don’t pick up on social cues. I love every kid. It is heart-breaking to watch what is being done to them.
Also, for the record, virtually every kid in my studio was given the Covid “vaccine”…even those who had already had Covid. I know because they told me. The most severe cases of ASD were from the same kids who came in once a year and complained about their arm hurting from the flu vaccine. They, incidentally, were the only ones who got the flu.
Anecdotal, to be sure. Then again, science begins with observation and pattern recognition. It is not science if one is not allowed to question or notice patterns.
With respect, sir. I don’t object to your concern about the vaccine schedule. But I push back on the notion that it’s the “only difference we have seen”.
We live in a world that is far more toxic on multiple levels. There are innumerable contributors to oxidative stress which could be part of the problem. Let’s remember that biology is multifactorial across systems. Koch’s postulate of “one disease, one cause…” is rarely relevant in chronic illness.
Maybe you missed the part about "ZERO". Just in case you missed it.... "ZERO" out of 35,000 patients. Maybe Dr Eisenstein was a liar though. Makes you wonder what is in these untested and unproven injections.

(From the book, "What The Pharmaceutical Companies Don't Want You To Know About Vaccines" - By Dr Todd M. Elsner)
"For over 20 years, the federal government has publicly denied a vaccine/autism link while at the same time, it's Vaccine Injury Compensation Program has been awarding damages for vaccine injury to children with brain damage, seizures, and autism." Vaccines cause autism. Don't take my word for it. The Vaccine Court has ruled this to be the case for almost a hundred families despite everything the Department of Health and Human Services could do to prevent those cases from winning."
Because it was use so heavily since the mid-50s, acetaminophen by itself does not explain the massive increase in autism rates since 1986 and, more so, over the last ten-fifteen years. While the combo may increase the negative efficacy of vaccines, I suggest vaccines are the primary cause.
You have hit the nail on the head. Autism rates exploded in the early 90’s. We need to ask what changed then. When looking at cause and effect, start with the timeline. This applies to both law and medicine. You can’t accuse someone of a murder that happened before the accused was born. Likewise if I give my patient a new drug, and they get a rash a few days later, it was probably from the drug. The timeline of autism increase is where we should first look for answers.
One in 3 prematurely born babies eventually receive an autism diagnosis. My son(autistic) & grandson (not autistic) were both preemies. Because of this statistic (that had been 1 in 4), the big HMO created a special program to follow every prematurely born child for the first 2 years to monitor for autism and provide therapies. Those in charge were aware of toxins, triggers, inflammation etc. Is Tylenol causing UGR, placenta previa, miscarried twin, midline defects & other types of problems connected to prematurely born children? These problems can happen to moms who don't detox readily.. Tylenol could be a factor for some but I can't see it as a main 🐢 all the way down.
Excellent question and observation, Anna B. I hope Dr. Goldberg or Dr. Parker will have time to reply to this. I think we have a huge problem with over-exposure to toxins. Acetaminophen is one. Antibiotics are another. And, of course, the toxins in vaccines, which include aluminum. The meningitis B vaccine contains: aluminum hydroxide, sodium chloride, histidine, sucrose, kanamycin. Some of these ingredients, including sucrose (because it's not organic and likely contains glyphosate) are extremely concerning...
Clearly they are only focusing on severe autism, as ASD is often not truly diagnosable until later developmental milestones are not met and they cannot meet those particular developmental milestones until they are to that point in development.
I'm so sorry. Wondering, also, if they ever did genetic testing. When you have the MTHFR mutations you are much more susceptible to toxins like acetaminophen and the ingredients (especially aluminum) in the vaccines...
Again, a knockout article, Jennifer! How can the MD's keep a straight face any more? They just do no care at all. Okay, not all of them. Only about 99%.
Has he done an observational study of his own practice by having his pregnant women not use acetaminophen/paracetamol and monitoring the rate of autism in the children after that
I don't know but I will ask Dr. Goldberg, or he may be chime in here. It would have to be retrospective. One idea is that he counsel women before they become pregnant about the dangers and monitor them while pregnant to make sure they take no Tylenol and then compare X number of these outcomes to women from his practice who took Tylenol. I also don't know if the N will be large enough to be statistically significant.
Of course not. But he would still need to do the hard work of comparing his statistics with those of the general population, and I doubt he had. Speculation is easier.
It is clear to anyone who does a modicum of research that the cause of autism is environmental. I don't think it is accurate, though, to say paracetamol is THE cause if autism. Just as AIDS is a condition that can be caused by a number and combination of various environmental factors, so to is autism. I think, ultimately. we will find that there are many different causative agents that lead to an immune system dysregulation affecting brain development.
I started writing about paracetamol ( acetaminophen) ain the1990s, and much of that is on Beyond conformity, including the Pfizer incident with me in 2005, when I publicly pointed out that if children with meningitis were given acetaminophen, they had more serious outcomes…. Because Pfizer manufacture “PAMOL” in this country (The NZ version of Tylenol, or acetaminophen), and it was considered a HERITAGE drug ( GRAS) they decided to initiate legal proceedings against me, which didn’t go quite as they thought it would so they hurriedly flipped PAMOL on to Johnson & Johnson.
Parents in New Zealand have myopically used paracetamol for everything, since the 60’s. “Mother’s little helper” used after accidents, to put babies to sleep, or even if they are behaving badly.
Tylenol / PAMOL / acetaminophen, shuts kids up. And parents consider it as safe as water.
There are many media articles admonishing NZ parents over the decades, for the abuse of acetaminophen, and I have many website posts on my website discussed the dangers of acetaminophen in all its aspects, particularly regarding the immune system
The Bexsero protocol is just the latest one.
The New Zealand MoH has always advocated acetaminophen before and after vaccines lonnnnggggg before that. It became standard practice, because the old whole cell pertussis vaccine could throw huge fevers and discomfort.
The Israeli doctor says it’s not the vaccines that cause autism. . Just acetaminophen. Really? Does it not occur to him that there could be SOMETHING about the combination of a vaccine, and acetaminophen, - which down regulates an arm of the immune system, which in some children TURNS the vaccine into an immunological bullet?
If autism was solely caused by tylenol / acetaminophen, then --- because parents have used acetaminophen for so many things all the time, in the past, quite apart from vaccines, we would see random initiation of autism.
We wouldn't see the numbers of parents saying, "My child was fine until you gave him that vaccine."
Tylenol is the money making holy grail of drug manufacturers, so of course they will go for him for daring to question a 75 year old profitable substance. Now, if he ever did finger vaccines, imagine how much worse it would be for him.
The irony is, that he fingered acetaminophen to try to sanctify vaccines, and didn’t expect to be gas lit about acetaminophen. Perhaps this will result in a real wake up call for him. Either that, or he will be “Thompsoned”.
I recently was 'cautioned' at work about causing distress to clients by telling them this as well as other information about acetaminophen. The brainwashing is deeply effective unfortunately.
I still believe “vaccines” are the cause of all kinds of issues children are coming up with that children didn’t have when I was a child 45-50 years ago. The “vaccine” schedule for children is a ludicrous number of unnecessary injections and risks. The “vaccine” schedule today compared to the schedule 40 years ago is staggeringly different and if you guessed it is because of money you would be correct. Thankfully, there is some talk about reducing the number of “vaccinations” but I’m fairly certain it’s not going to go anywhere when so much money changing hands with doctors and Big Pharma.
Tylenol and the generic are definitely bad things. It is a toxin which should be banned. For evidence of this see Dr. Yoho’s article about just that:
This is dangerous misinformation. You shouldn’t call yourself a science writer. Association doesn’t prove causation. That’s basic. This article is inflammatory and based on shaky ‘science’. Autism and ADHD rates have increased due to increased awareness and diagnoses.
Thanks for the ad hominem attack. I'll stop calling myself a science writer. I'll return all the awards I've received over the years. Maybe we can get the publications I've written for (including the cover of Smithsonian Magazine) to retract all of my articles. That will take care of everything. I find those to contribute greatly to open discussions about controversial issues. You're repeating a big Pharma PR talking point. The scientific literature strongly suggests that autism rates are not due to better diagnosis. To say nothing of common sense. We went from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 20 due to increased awareness? I do have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn. If you care about these issues, please consider printing out and reading this scientific study that actually systematically unpacks what percentage is better diagnosis (spoiler: only 20 to 25 percent): https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4177682/
I congratulate you on your credentials. My point is that a critical part of science is debate, testing ideas against evidence, peer review, being open to other possible explanations. In turn, as a science writer, I’m sure you know that you hold great responsibility to convey scientific data to wide audiences in a responsible manner. You are blessed with an ability to understand complex scientific information and simplify it to help others to understand that information. With that comes a duty to show balance. I am not taking away from your point of view, I’m pointing out that you (should, in my opinion) present the information in an open and fair way.
In terms of the reasons for Autism diagnoses – thank you for sharing the NIH article. In contrast to your article’s argument, multiple sources state that the apparent rise in diagnoses is primarily due to a broader definition of autism, increased awareness, and improved diagnostic practices, rather than a significant increase in actual prevalence:
In terms of the robustness of the link between prenatal acetaminophen/paracetamol use and a rise in autism diagnoses, there is an argument that a lot of this data is from observational studies that have inherent limitations. Conversely, a sibling control study was published in 2024 that better controlled for genetic and shared environmental factors, which found no such link:
A note to commentators: If you feel the need to leave nasty anti-Jewish or anti-Israel sentiments in the comments, you will no longer be welcome to participate in this discussion. I'd like to respectfully suggest that we all try to remember that ad hominem attacks, and blanket statements against groups of people, do not move the conversation forward. I'd also like to point out, as others have, that "autism" is an umbrella term. Neurodiversity is something to celebrate, not stop. However, severe autism, categorized by being unable to communicate, read, participate in this discussion, toilet oneself, or live independently, confers a life expectancy of half the national average. Perhaps we need a separate term for environmentally induced brain damage. As Dr. Jonathan Rose, father of two young adult children with autism, points out in this article, severe autism is very different from neurodiversity. https://jennifermargulis.substack.com/p/its-time-to-change-the-public-discourse
As you said, there should be a clear delineation between disabling autism and neurodivergence that, in some cases, elevates people if provided with the right learning and social environmental training.
There used to be, but people stopped wanting to call Aspberger's by its name because of who its named after.
Please correct me if I am wrong, that most cases of neurodiversity are due to neurological injury caused by childhood vaccines. If that is true, then why is that something to "celebrate"?
There is not a single cause of autism. We should be doing studies that estimate objectively % liability, in the statistical sense, not the legal sense. See https://www.longdom.org/open-access-pdfs/autism-is-an-acquired-cellular-detoxification-deficiency-syndrome-with-heterogeneous-genetic-predisposition-2165-7890-1000224.pdf and https://ipaknowledge.org/ASD-Causality-Model.php
Thank you for this link, Dr. Lyons-Weiler.
There is not a single cause of anything, and every person with a diagnosis actually has a unique condition. Our medical model acknowledges neither of these facts which apply to every supposedly distinct disease brand.
If you believe the current paradigm that bacteria and viruses can causes diseases that isn't true though?
Believe and current the most operative words 😜
The rapid rise in autism seems to parallel the rise of metabolic syndrome in many countries. One wonders if cytokines and other inflammatory products associated with this cross the placental affecting neuronal development contributing to increases rates of autism.
We have many factors combining, but clearly the poisons injected under the guise of medicine contribute greatly, and even more clearly: our federal agencies exist to cover up for industry.
Obesity(and particularly the modern form of gross obesity) is associated with autoimmunity, which is a known maternal risk factor for autism. These things are clearly related.
That’s what I was taught years ago as an ob/ gyn doctor
As an Ob-gyn, what do you think about the idea that acetaminophen is causing or catalyzing autism?
As an OB-GYN, this person is trained to not make such connections between medical products and bad outcomes.
Low 25-hydroxyvitamin D in pregnancy raise the risk for autism, ADHD etc. in the offspring as well as pre-eclampsia, low birthweight and pre-term birth. See the research cited and discussed at: https://vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/#3.2
James Lyons-Weiler mentioned these and some other articles regarding paracetamol / acetominophen in a book he wrote, and a letter he sent to 100 dens of schools of medicine in the USA: https://popularrationalism.substack.com/p/three-years-later-after- ipak-alerted. He also cited research regarding vaccines and fever:
"In 2010, Shoffner et al., https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0883073809342128
found that 71% of kids with regressive autism had an episode of fever > 101°F In 33% of these cases, the fever occurred right after vaccination – and none showed regression unless fever had occurred." His whole Substack article is well worth reading. None of these 100 deans replied.
Recent research along these lines confirms the elevated risk, at least for ADHD. Baker et al. 2025 "Associations of maternal blood biomarkers of prenatal APAP exposure with placental gene expression and child attention deficit hyperactivity disorder", Nature Mental Health https://www.nature.com/articles/s44220-025-00387-6 (Paywalled.)
Abstract:
Despite evidence linking prenatal acetaminophen (APAP) exposure and adverse neurodevelopment in humans and animals, over half of pregnant women in most populations use APAP. Prior studies could be biased by inaccurate self-reported APAP use, and the molecular mechanisms linking prenatal APAP with adverse neurodevelopment are unknown. Here we estimated associations between maternal plasma biomarkers of APAP exposure, child attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and placental gene expression in 307 African American mother–child pairs. Overall, detection of APAP in second trimester plasma was associated with higher odds for child ADHD diagnosis (odds ratio of 3.15 (95% confidence interval 1.20 to 8.29)). Prenatal APAP exposure and ADHD were associated with placental upregulation of immune system pathways in females and downregulation of oxidative phosphorylation in both sexes. In females only, prenatal APAP was associated with 5.22% higher odds (0.0456–13.1%) of ADHD statistically, mediated through increased immunoglobulin heavy constant gamma 1 (IGHG1) expression. These results highlight placental molecular mechanisms that may underlie developmental toxicity of prenatal APAP exposure.
Lol
Finally, a mature comment on this subject.
Simply put I am in a continual state of cold anger this is just another example of the strangulation hold big Pharma has on everyone if it’s not hiding the data it’s the marketing of their products as Jack Kruse aptly stated “Marketing is legalized lying.” I remember when doctors were hesitant to give children and pregnant women any kind of medication. How far we have come from the BS if safe and effective. The criminals must pay when will people rise up and say enough is enough!
I remember interviewing Lyn Redwood, an RN married to an MD (her husband, Tommy Redwood, is one of the best emergency room doctors in the state of Georgia) and she said this too, Dory. She said that when she was first practicing nursing, the very clear instructions were to try very hard to NOT give pregnant women any over-the-counter or prescription medications and **no** vaccines. Now we are basically forcing (or terrifying women into getting) 2 flu shots, 2 COVID vaccines, and a TdaP on pregnant women. Hoping that will change soon as the new head of HHS starts re-implementing the precautionary principle.
Thank you for your response Jennifer. It is surreal to me what has happened to nurses and doctors loss of common sense. Much less knowledge and oath to do no harm. Women comply to the no alcohol no sushi blah blah blah but they will roll their sleeve op or open the mouth and swallow big Pharma candy no questions asked ? I have concerns about the new head of HHS I was more hopeful a couple of months ago but I fear Big Pharma has a vice grip on Kennedy’s neck. Rumor has it they have dirt on him he doesn’t want revealed. Have you seen the latest interview with Mike Yeadon? It is an Odyssey Film it’s excellent I have been listening to Yeadon since the Scamdemic reared its tyrannical head. He has been a voice of reason in a grossly unreasonable sea of propaganda. Thank you for all you do to educate, inspire and knock on the doors of the minds of critical thinkers. Keep up the good work. Dory
RFK Jr.'s life has been an open book for decades and his 40 years actively working the 12 steps has oriented him to truth telling. So I wouldn't buy into the rumors about him being extorted into betraying his mission.
Bobby is a careful, meticulous lawyer and knows the facts will carry the day much better than an argument. He is moving at what feels like a snails pace to the many who had (unrealistic) expectations that he would go into HHS and go scorched earth, but he is laying the groundwork.
His plan, which he stated clearly for anyone listening, is to do the science that will expose the fraud and end it once and for all. If he can get to the compelling truth, the question of Pharma corruption becomes a blatant fact rather than a political argument, and it will change the tide of public opinion and thus of law-makers, who stand to be exposed as Pharma tools.
So everyone needs to take a breath and be patient. He is also under attack from all sides, Pharma and its big money cronies especially, so if MAGA can keep the faith and hold the line I think it would help hugely to take the pressure off him at least from our side. Let's give him some grace.
Big pharma is all out to destroy him. They have thousands even hundreds of thousands of bots all over the internet with fake AI generated negative messages about RFK. Try to ignore the fake news. Ignore the media. Listen and watch what he says and does. He is 100% on our side!
I've been surprised at the food companies' immediate action on food dyes. To me, it says that they have known all along about the dangers yet decided to keep being greedy by using cheap petroleum based dyes/flavorings in our food. They had the ability to change course years ago and they did for foreign counties purchasing their "food" products. Shameful!
Perfectly stated. Thank you. I’m constantly stunned at how quickly some people can turn and eat their own when the timeframe of action doesn’t fit their own.
Bobby truly is shouting at the tsunami from all sides. You are correct in saying he will march on with the facts rather than argue. The facts will expose the rotten underbelly once they are well and firmly
established.
With you on that 100% Leah. And frankly I think he’s operating in an extremely constraining environment of very darkened and dangerous conditions. I want everyone to pray Light dispels the darkness and make America healthy again prevail.
As for the doubters,
Straighten up and fly right people… use your imagination ffs After all we have seen of the willful maiming and killing what kind of territory do you think RFK is traveling in?? The man is our first and best chance for the sake of the children and the country which Autism alone will de$troy by 2035. That’s just a fact and you should NOT be surprised if you have NOT heard it on the fake news
Bobby is absolutely not a careful, meticulous lawyer. Recently heard him present a favorable appellate court decision as though it was a trial decision. They’re too different arenas. He’s either incredibly sloppy or is ok with misleading a listener.
Don’t forget that he says that not a single vaccine has been through a double blind placebo clinical trial and thus “not proven safe and effective”. Yet, he had all of his children and family vaccinated. And thinks people should be able to “choose”.
Wouldn’t trust him at all.
I agree
🎯
Um, Acetaminophen is OTC. Can’t blame pharma on this one…fraid it lands squarely on the medical estab.
It was a prescription drug in 1950 and eventually became OTC but that doesn’t exclude it from being a pharmaceutical product.
But ibuprofen is OTC and didn't show evidence of harm. And yes, you can blame big Pharma because you rarely get a choice if you are hospitalized. You get Tylenol.
Pharma makes OTC drugs too.
Bad ones, like Tums which is associated with the Macular Degeneration upswing.
Jennifer - kinda confirms my belief that this is intentional for the purposes of depopulation.
I am very hopeful that Bobby will implement much needed changes. 🙏🙏🙏
Get help.
If you don't believe that there *IS* a so-called "depopulation agenda", then you're beyond help....
When did we begin to believe that taking anything during pregnancy was safe? I refused to take even an aspirin (my children were born in 1984 & 1987) - did not drink coffee or alcohol. And would not get near anything that smelled like a toxic fume.
Seems like common sense, doesn't it Judy, to avoid chemicals and noxious fumes and any medicine that is not a real food (or derived from real foods) during pregnancy? It's amazing how direct-to-consumer advertising coupled with doctor's office endorsements can derail common sense and throw the precautionary principle out the window.
The Media is at fault for spreading the Pharmaceutical Propaganda, and both parties are profiting and the expense of our lives. There were not TV advertisements for pharmaceutical products when I grew up, now we are constantly bombarded with Prescription and OTC ads which brainwash us into thinking they are safe…even with the disclaimer. Capitalism is definitely a two edged sword. Don’t get me wrong, my husband takes Calquence for CLL and it has worked great. But we all have a unique chemical and genetic makeup; infants exposed, in vitro or after birth, are much more vulnerable than adults.
Common sense - the operative word .........where did it go?! or did it just get replaced with indoctrination? hmmmm........did you notice the "doc" in there? thanks again for a wonderful piece ....certainly something to think about ....
Something for everyone to ponder: Autoimmune disease has skyrocketed along with vax rates. Since there are cells from aborted babies in every vax, those are parts of a BODY. Autoimmune is when the body attacks the body. HOW is an infant’s BODY to know to mount a defense against polio (or whatever) yet NOT mount a defense against its own BODY? If there are HEK (Human Embryonic Kidney) cells in that vial, HOW does the body know not to attack the kidneys or the entire body?
I’m no biologist. I do flowers and manage a few horses. I used to be a teacher years ago. I just need an explanation as to how the body is supposed to know not to attack itself when body parts are present. And if there are peanut cells, or some of the latex from the vial
lid gets onto the needle, HOW does the body not always mount a defense to nuts/latex?
I also hopes he looks into vaccines as a cause for autism. It might turn out to be "multiple" causes but it sure would be nice if we could find out if a vaccinated child ALSO received Tylenol or if the mom ever had Tylenol when she was pregnant. Could it be the combination of both Tylenol and Vaccines?
I asked him about vaccines during the interview, and vaccine-induced autism is a topic Dr. William Parker and I have also discussed at length. In order for acetaminophen to do damage, there has to be oxidative stress. Vaccines CAUSE oxidative stress. As do wild illnesses. This, to me, strongly suggests that vaccines are an important piece of the puzzle. As we discuss in the book, "The Vaccine-Friendly Plan," Tylenol + vaccines + glyphosate = autism, over and over and over again... Also, if you give NO vaccines then chances are your child is much much less likely to need Tylenol...
It literally lists ASD as a potential side effect on virtually ALL vax inserts. The insert ones that are difficult to get a hold of now.
Oxidative stress from the toxic poisonous adjuvants and aborted foetal cells are a recipe for a myriad of immune decimating disorders which we’re seeing an explosion of today.
The paracetamols (and also antibiotic) overuse are implicated for sure.
Tylenol depletes glutathione in the liver…here is an article on that and what it means!
https://drgreenmom.com/taking-tylenol-the-glutathione-liver/
I was talking to a friend on the phone in the 80s and she was drinking an after-work glass of wine and took a Tylenol too.
Crash! Had to get an ambulance to her.
She had to go to hospital because that is not a happy combination.
The number one reason for acute liver failure at the emergency rooms is inadvertent overdosing on Tylenol or what the scientific literature calls "acetaminophen toxicity." Just taking one double dose can lead to liver failure. It sounds like that may be what happened to your friend. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK441917/#:~:text=Acetaminophen%20toxicity%20is%20the%20second,annually%20in%20the%20United%20States.
low glutathione also worsens asthma making the link you provided a good tool for fighting asthma. also my suspicion is that asthma is caused by vaccines, possibly via anaphylaxis or …?
excellent point. I was loathe to use Tylenol because too much can damage the liver.
Even more so now.
It's heartbreaking ~ tiny innocents coming into a world where even the adults who love them are *blind* to the simple common sense (that seemingly extinct human faculty again!) fact that Tylenol + vaccines + glyphosate is an absolutely in-your-face example of Bad Idea + Second Bad Idea + Third Bad Idea. Sucharit Bhakti is right, we have lost our ability to even think.
I have a daughter with profound autism, ID and epilepsy, I never took Tylenol or any medications during pregnancy, and even though the pediatrician recommended Tylenol following vaccinations, I never once gave it. This was late 1990s when I did not know how much thimerosal she was being injected with. So in our case, Tylenol had zero to do with it.
Did your daughter get prenatal ultrasound? How many did she have? I have studied this extensively, and I see a strong correlation. The cases of autism exploded in the early 1990’s. To find a cause for autism we need to find something which wasn’t used much before then. Tylenol can’t be the culprit, not by itself.
The allowed energy levels of prenatal ultrasounds were substantially increased in 1992.
Before 1992, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had limits for ultrasound output, with fetal applications limited to 94 mW/cm². In 1992, at the request of manufacturers and users, the FDA changed this limit to 720 mW/cm² for most applications, including fetal scanning. This represented an almost eight-fold increase in the allowed intensity for fetal examinations. The accepted frequency of doing ultrasounds also increased for one per pregnancy to at least 3.
Patients are told ultrasound is harmless, but it isn’t. It can be used to treat brain tumors, because it destroys brain cells, although a much higher dose is used.
Afi Koman (I think this is a pen name? I like it!), I'm very interested in this as well. I devoted a chapter of my book, "Your Baby, Your Way," to the dangers of routine ultrasounds. There are many reasons NOT to get any ultrasounds, including the very real possibility that they are a contributing factor to abnormal neurodevelopment.
I am an MD PhD, retired cancer researcher with time on my hands. I did a thorough AI aided research to find causative factors related to the increased autism epidemic. I used increasing incidence starting in the early 90’s as a screening tool. This eliminated many of the usual suspects, like thimerosol, and eliminated most but not all vaccines. The factor that jumped out at me was increased use of more powerful ultrasound machines. The timeline is right, there is an animal model of autism that can be triggered by prenatal ultrasound, there is solid science showing ultrasound damages brain tissue but at much higher doses than prenatal ultrasound. My problem is I need access to direct clinical data, like how many ultrasounds did autistic children get versus non autistic children. If you can give me a solution to this, we can be coauthors. And Afi Koman is not my name. (My hospital staff limit what a doctor can say in public without institutional permission, so as not to embarrass the place,or get it involved in litigation. )
Late 90s so both my girls only got one ultrasound. Btw, 15 months apart, my first daughter did not get 4 thimerosal DTP/HIb and no autism, second did, same schedule, different shots and manufacturers. Same environment, same full term normal healthy pregnancies I had no medical conditions, I was normal weight. No c-section. Both went home from hospital in 24 hours, perfect Apgar scores. Nothing different except the vaccines they got.
Thanks for responding, your experience is very helpful. You make a strong case for a vaccine link, specifically the multi dose Hemophilus influenza B (HIB) regimen. Thimerosal itself is not the answer, its use in pediatric vaccines was stopped in 2001, yet autism continued. But the 2,4,6 month Hib vaccine dosing started in 1990- 1991. Autism diagnosis started to increase dramatically after that. My own research shows a link between increased strength and frequency of prenatal ultrasounds and autism, which also increased around that time. To determine the cause we need to ask, what changed in that time period.
Those are the kind of stories we need. I don't believe that everyone that had their child vaccinated, gave Tylenol but we need these stories to put the pieces together! Thanks for sharing...
I agree with you, Elle. And it's also more than possible that parents who did not give their children Tylenol have children who were exposed to it -- by a babysitter, a well-meaning grandparent, a daycare provider. It's so ubiquitous that it's hard to know. Will just one dose "cause" autism? Some researchers say yes. I think that may be a way of looking the other way about vaccine-induced autism, but it's something to keep in mind. Another story that might resonate with you, Elle: https://jennifermargulis.net/vaccines-tylenol-cause-autism/
Don't know if your daughter got the DTP or the DTaP, but the DTP had an undisclosed ingredient--amorphous aluminium hydroxyphosphate sulfate--in addition to thimerosal. I believe it was Levi Quackenbush, who wrote an article regarding AAHS in the DTP back in 2017.
From today’s CHD TV. here's new things happening right now. THIMEROSAL in vaccines may contribute to autism
00:11:50 - 00:11:56
severity. This is a new analysis, the first peer reviewed study to systematically track trends in
00:11:56 - 00:12:03
the rates of intellectual disability, defined as an IQ of less than 70among children with autism.
00:12:03 - 00:12:09
Found that those rates have risen and fallen in association with the presence of thimerosal
00:12:09 - 00:12:15
vaccines recommended to children and pregnant women. Polly, it takes a minute to study this graph
00:12:15 - 00:12:22
that Dr. Cindy Nevison put together, but this is a devastating graph and what it really shows is
00:12:22 - 00:12:29
when they did take thimerosal out of all childhood vaccines in the early 2000s, and they didn't have
00:12:29 - 00:12:37
it in the flu shots, there was a marked decline in intellectual disability among children who had
00:12:37 - 00:12:46
autism. Then, for reasons that are unclear, in 2004, the CDC decides to recommend flu shots to
00:12:46 - 00:12:53
pregnant women that had thimerosal and to recommend them to babies at 6 months. And most of those in
00:12:53 - 00:13:00
the early 2000s contained thimerosal. So then what you see is this incline of the children with
00:13:00 - 00:13:06
autism with intellectual disability. And I want to read you. Nevison said, you know, when she really
00:13:06 - 00:13:11
looked at this, she was just stunned. And one of the saddest things about this is back before 2000,
00:13:11 - 00:13:18
it was a minority of black and Hispanic kids who had intellectual disability. But a lot of those
00:13:18 - 00:13:23
kids are on Medicaid, and so the rate among them has increased substantially. But I want to read
00:13:23 - 00:13:28
this quote from our senior scientist, Carl Yablonowski, because I think it's so good. He said, our
00:13:28 - 00:13:33
struggles with thimerosal are a testament to how much we've lost our sensibility when it comes to
00:13:33 - 00:13:39
vaccines and their ingredients. We were crazy to include it, crazy to defend its inclusion and crazy
00:13:39 - 00:13:46
to recognize the hazard and remove it from only some. And that is so true. It's like, what were they
00:13:46 - 00:13:52
thinking, Polly? And to me, it's very, very frankly suspicious and incriminating that they took it
00:13:52 - 00:13:59
out of routine shots and then they put it to flu shots and recommended them to children. That is
00:13:59 - 00:14:05
very, very suspicious. And the graph that Cindy Nevison put together is also very, very deeply
00:14:05 - 00:14:11
concerning. It is. And also aluminum in those shots that cause. Well, of course, aluminum is also a
00:14:11 - 00:14:15
huge toxin.
In the Simpson Wood transcript, one of the attendees specifically mentioned the huge science-data safety unknown is the synergy between thimerosal and aluminum which is likely additive, meaning the two together are more toxic than each by themselves.
Quackenbush?
Levi Quakenbush published an excellent newsletter. Levi took leave from writing to work on the Kennedy campaign. I don't know if Levi still works on Kennedy things or is publishing. Jennifer might know.
There’s overwhelming evidence that ASD is genetic.
Approx 20 percent of autism is caused by single gene variants and syndromes that are purely genetic. The other 80 percent is of unknown origin but appears to be highly heritable. In twin studies, identical twins with identical genes do not always both have autism. Results are varied in the studies but they range from 60-90 percent that I have seen. This means that some outside environmental trigger is likely acting in this 80 percent cohort. Dr Parker and Goldberg make a compelling case that acetaminophen is the trigger in children with the genetic setup to be poor metabolizers of acetaminophen.
If genetics are the primary driver of autism why are the parents of severe non verbal children able to talk, hold jobs, drive cars, get married, and raise children of their own?
"Well, The autistic kid had a weird uncle." Does not fly.
If the primary driver were genetics then even weird dads would beget weird children. But they wouldn't be having children who couldn't function in society, or even keep themselves alive in adulthood, on their own.
If the primary driver was genetic, the severe cases would reach terminus. Because they do not procreate and have children.
We have mapped the human genome. Most of the research money in the last 30 years has gone to genetic research on autism. Yet we have no autism gene, we have no evidence of a recessive gene that is causing this. Most genetic differences in these children are De Novo, and not passed down by the parents. And even those findings only cover about 5% of autism cases.
Critics of the vaccine theory postulated that Hannah Poling had a genetic link that her mother gave her, but her mother pointed out that she was a lawyer and a nurse, highly functional, and did not have autism. They had no answer for her.
There is no autism gene.
There is no such thing as genetic epidemic. @AlexBerenson offers no science on his unsupported thesis that the vaccine industry has been pushing for decades. 20 years ago when my son was diagnosed I read every genetics article I could find. All of them ended with some version of saying that soon they would know the genetic causes and how to address it. They still end every paper on autism genetics the same way. Because there is no autism gene, they don't have anywhere else to look for an autism gene.
His theory is not even a plausible one.
My mom has it, I have it, and my brother’s daughter has it.
I think autism is actually a lot of different disorders and at least some of them are genetic.
Suit yourself
My understanding is that approx 20 percent of autism is tied to known monogenic or syndromic causes (fragile x, rett, scn1a). When there is id and epilepsy, higher likelihood that it fits into this 20 percent. The remaining approx 80 percent is essentially of unknown origin, and this 80 percent is believed by Dr Parker and Goldberg to be induced by acetaminophen toxicity in genetically predisposed children.
If you’re interested in the link between vaccines and autism, look up aluminum being used as an adjuvant in vaccines. There is a very strong link. The good news is the aluminum can be removed safely from the body by drinking silica rich mineral water. The number of aluminum containing vaccines has increased significantly over the past few decades.
can you explain more about silica rich water?
silica as SiO2 is the main ingredient in sand.
Look up the various writings of Chris Exley, on his silica detox protocol. He is arguably the world’s leading expert on aluminium. He has also helped thousands of young people injured by the Gardasil vaccine to clear the injurious aluminium so they can begin to recover. https://drchristopherexley.substack.com/p/frequently-answered-questions
Dr. Christopher Exley discusses this in his book, "Imagine You Are an Aluminum Atom: Discussions With Mr. Aluminum." Here's a referred link to Amazon to read more about it. And entire books have been written about silica-rich water as well: https://amzn.to/4eELxVa
The form of silica found in mineral water is orthostatic acid (OSA). KKB has mentioned Chris Exley, who writes on sub stack has done a great deal of research in this regard. Here is a link to my husband‘s and my website. You will find a list of silica waters that have enough silica to remove aluminum. You will also find information on autism and aluminum. https://prevent-alzheimers-autism-stroke.com/
Here is the chapter on aluminum and autism from one of my husband‘s Silica Water book. (Dennis N Crouse. https://prevent-alzheimers-autism-stroke.blogspot.com/2019/02/autism-chapter-from-silica-water-secret.html?m=1
it just blows my mind that a simple piece of information, given in seconds, can totally change the life of an unhealthy child (and parents).
all along i thought Fiji water was just a rich person’s fad.
thankyou :)
many thanks, a very interesting topic to investigate!
Its also the vert rapid escalating Vaxx schedule increasing. My daughters are 28/30 and they had only around 12/16 jabs. Now it’s over 80 :(
Clearly not about health but about profits and creating customers for life who can then be 'treated' with other drugs. A business model.
It's the combination of Tylenol and vaccines. Studies have found that when kids are given Tylenol before or after vaccination they are significantly more likely to develop autism than if they are given another painkiller or none at all. Tylenol depletes glutathione, which impairs detoxification from the vaccines.
I've linked to some of these studies in the article above. If you have others to share, Meghan, I'd be grateful.
I'm guessing we looked at the same studies -- I didn't check out your sources while I read. Sorry I don't have time to reread right now but did you look into the class action lawsuit against Tylenol?
Bologna. My daughter never got even one dose of Tylenol. Level 3 profound autism and epilepsy. The vaccines alone caused it.
I didn't say they couldn't. I just said Tylenol significantly increases the risk of an adverse reaction to vaccinations. There's tons of other factors, including, apparently, "hot lots" of certain vaccines that are more dangerous. Nutrition is also huge -- low Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and glutathione will all increase the risk of vaccine injury. Tylenol depletes glutathione, which impairs detoxification and immune response.
"40 years ago when I started my practice, only 1 in 10,000 children had autism. Today it's 1 in 100. What is the only difference we have seen? The inordinate number of vaccines that are being given to children today. My partners and I have over 35,000 patients who have never been vaccinated. You know how many cases of autism we have seen? ZERO, ZERO. I have made this statement for over 40 years: ' NO VACCINES, NO AUTISM'. "
Dr Mayer Eisenstein, MD
In Ireland they're saying it is now 1 in 20 school-aged children have this diagnosis. Put differently, approximately 5% of school children in Ireland have autism. These numbers are mindbogglingly high. And the mainstream media wants us to be afraid of chickenpox...
With over three decades of teaching experience, I can anecdotally tell you that that number is not truly representational. The first decade I taught, I had one. The second decade, I had a dozen. The final years before I walked away, it was far more rare for a kid NOT to be on the spectrum. My last year of teaching was limited to my private studio of 28. Only two were not. Did I become more aware? Sure. But, the awareness is nothing to being slapped in the face with a truckload of kids who cannot meet your eyes, rock when flustered, and don’t pick up on social cues. I love every kid. It is heart-breaking to watch what is being done to them.
Also, for the record, virtually every kid in my studio was given the Covid “vaccine”…even those who had already had Covid. I know because they told me. The most severe cases of ASD were from the same kids who came in once a year and complained about their arm hurting from the flu vaccine. They, incidentally, were the only ones who got the flu.
Anecdotal, to be sure. Then again, science begins with observation and pattern recognition. It is not science if one is not allowed to question or notice patterns.
With respect, sir. I don’t object to your concern about the vaccine schedule. But I push back on the notion that it’s the “only difference we have seen”.
We live in a world that is far more toxic on multiple levels. There are innumerable contributors to oxidative stress which could be part of the problem. Let’s remember that biology is multifactorial across systems. Koch’s postulate of “one disease, one cause…” is rarely relevant in chronic illness.
Maybe you missed the part about "ZERO". Just in case you missed it.... "ZERO" out of 35,000 patients. Maybe Dr Eisenstein was a liar though. Makes you wonder what is in these untested and unproven injections.

(From the book, "What The Pharmaceutical Companies Don't Want You To Know About Vaccines" - By Dr Todd M. Elsner)
Wow... talk about "toxic on multiple levels".
I didn’t miss anything. Are you trying to be obnoxious or was it an accident?
Vaccines are a fraud and always have been.
Sounds like Big Pharma.
"For over 20 years, the federal government has publicly denied a vaccine/autism link while at the same time, it's Vaccine Injury Compensation Program has been awarding damages for vaccine injury to children with brain damage, seizures, and autism." Vaccines cause autism. Don't take my word for it. The Vaccine Court has ruled this to be the case for almost a hundred families despite everything the Department of Health and Human Services could do to prevent those cases from winning."
Ken P. Stoller, MD
Because it was use so heavily since the mid-50s, acetaminophen by itself does not explain the massive increase in autism rates since 1986 and, more so, over the last ten-fifteen years. While the combo may increase the negative efficacy of vaccines, I suggest vaccines are the primary cause.
You have hit the nail on the head. Autism rates exploded in the early 90’s. We need to ask what changed then. When looking at cause and effect, start with the timeline. This applies to both law and medicine. You can’t accuse someone of a murder that happened before the accused was born. Likewise if I give my patient a new drug, and they get a rash a few days later, it was probably from the drug. The timeline of autism increase is where we should first look for answers.

One in 3 prematurely born babies eventually receive an autism diagnosis. My son(autistic) & grandson (not autistic) were both preemies. Because of this statistic (that had been 1 in 4), the big HMO created a special program to follow every prematurely born child for the first 2 years to monitor for autism and provide therapies. Those in charge were aware of toxins, triggers, inflammation etc. Is Tylenol causing UGR, placenta previa, miscarried twin, midline defects & other types of problems connected to prematurely born children? These problems can happen to moms who don't detox readily.. Tylenol could be a factor for some but I can't see it as a main 🐢 all the way down.
Excellent question and observation, Anna B. I hope Dr. Goldberg or Dr. Parker will have time to reply to this. I think we have a huge problem with over-exposure to toxins. Acetaminophen is one. Antibiotics are another. And, of course, the toxins in vaccines, which include aluminum. The meningitis B vaccine contains: aluminum hydroxide, sodium chloride, histidine, sucrose, kanamycin. Some of these ingredients, including sucrose (because it's not organic and likely contains glyphosate) are extremely concerning...
Anna B, I also wanted to share this article with you. If you have time to read it, I think it will resonate: https://jennifermargulis.net/three-toxins-to-avoid-three-things-to-embrace-during-pregnancy/
Only two years? Not four or six?
Clearly they are only focusing on severe autism, as ASD is often not truly diagnosable until later developmental milestones are not met and they cannot meet those particular developmental milestones until they are to that point in development.
My 1984 son and 2003 granddaughter both changed behaviorly after their four month shots.
They were both extremely happy infants until then. My granddaughter's reaction finally answered my question.
My granddaughter is the daughter of my daughter.
I'm so sorry. Wondering, also, if they ever did genetic testing. When you have the MTHFR mutations you are much more susceptible to toxins like acetaminophen and the ingredients (especially aluminum) in the vaccines...
Again, a knockout article, Jennifer! How can the MD's keep a straight face any more? They just do no care at all. Okay, not all of them. Only about 99%.
Has he done an observational study of his own practice by having his pregnant women not use acetaminophen/paracetamol and monitoring the rate of autism in the children after that
I don't know but I will ask Dr. Goldberg, or he may be chime in here. It would have to be retrospective. One idea is that he counsel women before they become pregnant about the dangers and monitor them while pregnant to make sure they take no Tylenol and then compare X number of these outcomes to women from his practice who took Tylenol. I also don't know if the N will be large enough to be statistically significant.
Of course not. But he would still need to do the hard work of comparing his statistics with those of the general population, and I doubt he had. Speculation is easier.
It is clear to anyone who does a modicum of research that the cause of autism is environmental. I don't think it is accurate, though, to say paracetamol is THE cause if autism. Just as AIDS is a condition that can be caused by a number and combination of various environmental factors, so to is autism. I think, ultimately. we will find that there are many different causative agents that lead to an immune system dysregulation affecting brain development.
"This protocol has not been adopted in the United States."
"Goldberg, too, is sure that this protocol is the smoking gun."
So how does he explain the exponential growth of autism in the US?
I started writing about paracetamol ( acetaminophen) ain the1990s, and much of that is on Beyond conformity, including the Pfizer incident with me in 2005, when I publicly pointed out that if children with meningitis were given acetaminophen, they had more serious outcomes…. Because Pfizer manufacture “PAMOL” in this country (The NZ version of Tylenol, or acetaminophen), and it was considered a HERITAGE drug ( GRAS) they decided to initiate legal proceedings against me, which didn’t go quite as they thought it would so they hurriedly flipped PAMOL on to Johnson & Johnson.
https://www.beyondconformity.co.nz/hilary-s-desk/how_big_pharma_stacks_the_deck_against_any_lawsuits
Parents in New Zealand have myopically used paracetamol for everything, since the 60’s. “Mother’s little helper” used after accidents, to put babies to sleep, or even if they are behaving badly.
Tylenol / PAMOL / acetaminophen, shuts kids up. And parents consider it as safe as water.
There are many media articles admonishing NZ parents over the decades, for the abuse of acetaminophen, and I have many website posts on my website discussed the dangers of acetaminophen in all its aspects, particularly regarding the immune system
The Bexsero protocol is just the latest one.
The New Zealand MoH has always advocated acetaminophen before and after vaccines lonnnnggggg before that. It became standard practice, because the old whole cell pertussis vaccine could throw huge fevers and discomfort.
The Israeli doctor says it’s not the vaccines that cause autism. . Just acetaminophen. Really? Does it not occur to him that there could be SOMETHING about the combination of a vaccine, and acetaminophen, - which down regulates an arm of the immune system, which in some children TURNS the vaccine into an immunological bullet?
If autism was solely caused by tylenol / acetaminophen, then --- because parents have used acetaminophen for so many things all the time, in the past, quite apart from vaccines, we would see random initiation of autism.
We wouldn't see the numbers of parents saying, "My child was fine until you gave him that vaccine."
Tylenol is the money making holy grail of drug manufacturers, so of course they will go for him for daring to question a 75 year old profitable substance. Now, if he ever did finger vaccines, imagine how much worse it would be for him.
The irony is, that he fingered acetaminophen to try to sanctify vaccines, and didn’t expect to be gas lit about acetaminophen. Perhaps this will result in a real wake up call for him. Either that, or he will be “Thompsoned”.
I recently was 'cautioned' at work about causing distress to clients by telling them this as well as other information about acetaminophen. The brainwashing is deeply effective unfortunately.
I still believe “vaccines” are the cause of all kinds of issues children are coming up with that children didn’t have when I was a child 45-50 years ago. The “vaccine” schedule for children is a ludicrous number of unnecessary injections and risks. The “vaccine” schedule today compared to the schedule 40 years ago is staggeringly different and if you guessed it is because of money you would be correct. Thankfully, there is some talk about reducing the number of “vaccinations” but I’m fairly certain it’s not going to go anywhere when so much money changing hands with doctors and Big Pharma.
Tylenol and the generic are definitely bad things. It is a toxin which should be banned. For evidence of this see Dr. Yoho’s article about just that:
https://open.substack.com/pub/robertyoho/p/320-tylenol-is-a-pharma-atrocity?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
This is dangerous misinformation. You shouldn’t call yourself a science writer. Association doesn’t prove causation. That’s basic. This article is inflammatory and based on shaky ‘science’. Autism and ADHD rates have increased due to increased awareness and diagnoses.
Thanks for the ad hominem attack. I'll stop calling myself a science writer. I'll return all the awards I've received over the years. Maybe we can get the publications I've written for (including the cover of Smithsonian Magazine) to retract all of my articles. That will take care of everything. I find those to contribute greatly to open discussions about controversial issues. You're repeating a big Pharma PR talking point. The scientific literature strongly suggests that autism rates are not due to better diagnosis. To say nothing of common sense. We went from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 20 due to increased awareness? I do have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn. If you care about these issues, please consider printing out and reading this scientific study that actually systematically unpacks what percentage is better diagnosis (spoiler: only 20 to 25 percent): https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4177682/
I congratulate you on your credentials. My point is that a critical part of science is debate, testing ideas against evidence, peer review, being open to other possible explanations. In turn, as a science writer, I’m sure you know that you hold great responsibility to convey scientific data to wide audiences in a responsible manner. You are blessed with an ability to understand complex scientific information and simplify it to help others to understand that information. With that comes a duty to show balance. I am not taking away from your point of view, I’m pointing out that you (should, in my opinion) present the information in an open and fair way.
In terms of the reasons for Autism diagnoses – thank you for sharing the NIH article. In contrast to your article’s argument, multiple sources state that the apparent rise in diagnoses is primarily due to a broader definition of autism, increased awareness, and improved diagnostic practices, rather than a significant increase in actual prevalence:
https://www.niehs.nih.gov/health/topics/conditions/autism
https://medschool.ucla.edu/news-article/is-autism-genetic
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2825472
In terms of the robustness of the link between prenatal acetaminophen/paracetamol use and a rise in autism diagnoses, there is an argument that a lot of this data is from observational studies that have inherent limitations. Conversely, a sibling control study was published in 2024 that better controlled for genetic and shared environmental factors, which found no such link:
