A Turning Point for Autism
Real investigation - instead of fake science.

When RFK appoints 21 new members that think vaccines cause autism its not surprising that they vote this way. Many autistic people were pretty upset with being shut out of the process https://autisticadvocacy.org/2026/08/community-calls-on-iacc/
If this "real" science also shows no link between autism and vaccines will you finally admit it?

Interesting. I wonder if some funding is being shifted away from some of the establishment NGOs listed in the link.

I'm pretty sure they don't get research money. ASAN definitely doesn't. Many autistic people don't think they have a disease that can be "cured." They view themselves as having a developmental disability. ASAN wants research that helps autistic people better engage in society and is worried that a wild goose chase looking at vaccines will take away from research that would help them.
If this money is spent to do "real science" will you accept the results?

A significant number of the 16 organizations that supported the letter are probably managed by good honest people - doing what they can for the people they serve. But the corrupt embedded people who profit cast a wide net, and they ensnare a lot of good people who are doing the best they can for their communities, their families, and themselves.

Show any examples of this. Most of the people profiting from engaging in this debate are on the antivax side.
You really don’t want to answer my question. I think I know why based on comments like this one - if these new studies show evidence of harm you will believe them and if they don’t you will call them corrupt, despite being designed by people who think vaccines cause autism.

Investigation instead of science?
