Vaccines Did Not Cause Rachel's Autism My Journey as a Vaccine Scientist, Pediatrician, and Autism Dad

That's one of the things I talk about in the book. I mean, we have learned so much in the last couple of years about autism.

And that's one of the reasons I say vaccines did not cause racial autism.

Vaccines don't cause autism because autism was already underway in early early brain development.

Like Rachel, for instance, wasn't actually diagnosed until 19 months of age. And there's some fabulous studies now showing that that clinical expression of autism actually coincides with a big increase in the volume of the brain.

And that's very important because parents will often remember, oh my kid got vaccinated on 18 months of age or 15 months of age. You want to link the two.

Yeah. And then the new one is called The Deadly Rise of Anti-Science. It talks about how the anti-vaccine movement has transitioned over to more of a political enterprise, and so I want to describe that change.

Yeah. And then the new one is called The Deadly Rise of Anti-Science.

He did from junk food by that would he say was like gleely telling Joe Rogan that he feeds his autistic daughter junk food

I did from junk food by that would he say was like gleely telling Joe Rogan that he feeds his autistic daughter junk food Yeah, that's like in blame. It's insane

But wasn't he just saying recently something about like me, you know, I'm looking at his Twitter I can't find it. It's not always the post Barbie. Yeah, this post Barbie world. Let's not forget I'm nervous about Everyone's going to the movies so he was like, oh when no one's masking anymore. No one's doing tests anymore I think that was the tweet right? It was something like that movies are so popular We have to worry about another rise in COVID basically, but it's also like a typical like don't go have fun I'm holier than you for have noticing notice this. I'm protecting you all with my great ideas

Peter Hodes said not to be a Debbie Downer But anyone worried about a post Barbie box office COVID bump or post oppie We'll net will probably never know since no one seems to be keeping track of such things anymore Keep up with your boosters and find a pink and 95 or can 95 if you can

He's just talking about the box office for these two movies Now I don't know if that really matters, but I do want to stress this is my point these people are still calling for these things to happen again Yo, there were a lot of places where people did not follow the protocols

He is the Dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine, Professor of Pediatrics, Molecular Virology and Microbiology at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. Dr. Hotez also wrote a book called, Vaccines Did Not Cause Rachel's Autism. It's a really personal account of his daughter's autism diagnosis and it lays out the overwhelming scientific evidence that it had nothing to do with vaccines.

The book was a forceful response to many in the anti-vaccine movement who falsely believe there is a connection between autism and vaccines.
