Welcome back to My Life in the Thrill Kill Medical Cult for Part 2 of the autism series. Still working long hours finalizing all the media for the upcoming release of the book! I realize you can’t yet see all the activities going on to bring this book to you. Updates will continue to be posted as things develop.
Same Song, Different Dance
As we discussed in Part One, the world has seen an exponential increase in cases of diagnosed autism over the last 80 years. One of the explanations in mainstream circles is the notion that the criteria of what constitutes a case of autism has broadened, hence more cases will be positively diagnosed. This 2014 paper entitled “Increasing Prevalence, Changes in Diagnostic Criteria, and Nutritional Risk Factors for Autism Spectrum Disorders” sums up that argument:
The frequency of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) diagnoses has been increasing for decades, but researchers cannot agree on whether the trend is a result of increased awareness, improved detection, expanding definition, or an actual increase in incidence or a combination of these factors.
While decreased nutrition and increased awareness around the topic is a reasonable explanation, the prevalence of autism between 1975 and today has increased 9,900% (1 in 5000 in 1975 to 1 in 36 today). This number is shocking. What else could be going on? One thing that never gets brought up in mainstream discussions is the possible link between autism and childhood vaccines.
It’s almost like what we are seeing today with the COVID injections. They will look at every single other possible reason to explain the mass death and permanent disability other than the shots themselves. Whether it’s “climate change”, shoveling snow, monkeypox or “COVID” itself, no one wants to look into what a lot of us view as the most logical culprit.
The same goes for childhood vaccines and autism.
Those who actually do attempt to investigate whether there is any credibility to the claim that vaccines may cause autism are viscously attacked, ostracized, and in certain cases, their medical licenses are revoked. People are publicly smeared, harassed and cast out of the medical community as quacks , heretics or “dangerous conspiracy theorists.”

The Vaccine Excipients List
One of the most important stops on the road to fully understanding the childhood vaccine debate is the CDC’s own list of vaccine excipients. On its face, this looks like some crackpot conspiracy. There’s no way that any reputable source would actually admit that childhood vaccines actually contain such things as aluminum, the cells from aborted babies or formaldehyde.
Well, let me introduce you to Appendix B for the Pink Book-Vaccine Excipient Summary directly on the CDC website.
A vaccine “excipient” is defined as anything besides the ““weakened or killed disease antigens,” such as an adjuvant, a preservative or a stabilizer. From the CDC:
In addition to weakened or killed disease antigens (such as weakened, killed, or parts of viruses or bacteria), vaccines contain very small amounts of other ingredients – excipients.
Some excipients are added to a vaccine for a specific purpose. These include:
Preservatives, to prevent contamination. For example, thimerosal.
Adjuvants, to help stimulate a stronger immune response. For example, aluminum salts.
Stabilizers, to keep the vaccine potent during transportation and storage. For example, sugars or gelatin.
Formaldehyde (CH₂O) is a colorless, highly toxic, and flammable gas at room temperature. It is used in the production of fertilizer, paper, plywood, and some resins. It is also commonly used as an embalming fluid to “temporarily prevent decomposition and restore a natural appearance for viewing a body after death.” The CDC recommends injecting it directly into babies 2 months to six years old, bypassing the blood-brain barrier.
Thimerosal comes up often in the discussion around Autism. While mercury was allegedly banned for use in vaccines, Thimerosal is a mercury-based preservative. From Immunize British Columbia:
Almost all childhood vaccines DO NOT contain mercury. However, some influenza (flu) vaccines that have more than one dose in the vial (multi-dose vials) contain thimerosal, which is a mercury-based preservative. The small amount of thimerosal used to preserve vaccines is safe.
Notice how they say “almost”? While mercury does not show up officially on the CDC’s vaccine excipient list, Thimerosal has many of the same properties and is alleged to have many of the same outcomes that mercury once did.
I could go on and on about all of the harmful ingredients on this list, including aluminum and polysorbate 80, but I wanted to call your attention to one ingredient in particular called MRC-5, commonly used in the infamous Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine.
MRC-5 is a “diploid cell line… made up of fibroblasts isolated from the lung tissue derived from a White, male, 14-week-old embryo by J.P. Jacobs in 1966.” In other words, it is the genetic material harvested from an aborted baby in 1966 that people have been able to replicate continuously ever since, injecting it directly into infants all over the world.
I want to encourage you to look further into all of these chemicals and see if the reasoning behind wanting to inject them into your children is as great of an idea as they say.

The MMR Vaccine and Autism
I was late to party when it comes to the discussion around vaccines and their possible link to conditions like autism. I was already very far down the “rabbit-hole” when I began looking into topics related to “vaccine-risk awareness.” It wasn’t until after COVID began that I was shown information that illuminated the vaccine industry as a whole, and I saw it for what it truly is.
One of the pieces of information that stood out to me was the specific conversation around the Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine. Any research into this topic will take you to one of the landmark pieces of evidence, which was a 1998 study by Dr. Andrew Wakefield entitled “Lleal-lymphoid-nodular hyperplasia, non-specific colitis, and pervasive developmental disorder in children,” in which Dr. Wakefield, a Gastroenterologist, attempts to explain why several of his adolescent patients who had experienced severe mental decline following MMR vaccination also experienced gastrointestinal issues.
From the study:
We describe a pattern of colitis and ileal-lymphoidnodular hyperplasia in children with developmental disorders. Intestinal and behavioural pathologies may have occurred together by chance, reflecting a selection bias in a self-referred group; however, the uniformity of the intestinal pathological changes and the fact that previous studies have found intestinal dysfunction in children with autistic-spectrum disorders, suggests that the connection is real and reflects a unique disease process.
The paper goes on to cite previous studies that show a link between gastrointestinal deficiencies and notable behavioral abnormalities, including one by Hans Asperger, a Psychiatrist who is known for his work related to patients with austism-spectrum disorder. Dr. Wakefield states: “Asperger first recorded the link between coeliac disease and behavioural psychoses,” citing a 1961 paper by Asperger entitled “Die Psychopathologie des coeliakakranken kindes” (German, translated in English as “Psychopathology of children with coeliac disease”). Don’t bother clicking on that link though, because it takes you to a page on PubMed that shows the paper’s title, but no content. I could not find a copy of this paper anywhere online. If you have a copy of it or know where to find it, please reach out to me.
Dr. Wakefield cites another study entitled “Abnormal intestinal permeability in children with autism” which concludes:
An altered intestinal permeability was found in 9 of the 21 (43%) autistic patients, but in none of the 40 controls…
… We speculate that an altered intestinal permeability could represent a possible mechanism for the increased passage through the gut mucosa of peptides derived from foods with subsequent behavioural abnormalities.
While the study references possible behavior changes resulting from the intestines absorbing foreign and harmful material in food, couldn’t the same be said for foreign and harmful material being absorbed from vaccines?
Dr. Wakefield also cites a paper entitled “Dialysable lymphocyte extract (DLyE) in infantile onset autism: A pilot study,” where he concludes: “…for 15 of 20 autistic children, the first symptoms developed within a week of vaccination.”
Dr Wakefield states:
These studies, together with our own, including evidence of anaemia and IgA deficiency in some children, would support the hypothesis that the consequences of an inflamed or dysfunctional intestine may play a part in behavioural changes in some children.
After further discussion and citations, Dr. Wakefield’s study concludes with the following:
We have identified a chronic enterocolitis in children that may be related to neuropsychiatric dysfunction. In most cases, onset of symptoms was after measles, mumps, and rubella immunisation. Further investigations are needed to examine this syndrome and its possible relation to this vaccine.
Further investigation is needed. Why is that such a controversial stance? Well, as you might have guessed, the medical establishment lost their minds and they launched a campaign to smear and discredit Dr. Wakefield.
The subsequent attack on the study was more of an attack on Dr. Wakefield himself rather than the information within. It doesn’t appear that any attempt was made to discredit his claims or his findings during the investigation. In February 2010, the paper was retracted by The Lancet. In May of 2010, Dr. Wakefield’s medical license was revoked, or as it is referred to in the UK, he was “removed from the medical registrar.” The reason given was twofold: 1) the investigators claimed that Dr. Wakefield had received funding for the experiment from lawyers involved in representing families of children who were alleging that they had been hurt by the MMR vaccine, and 2) Dr. Wakefield had “practiced negligence” when conducting some of the research. Here is an excerpt from an article posted on HCPLive Network:
The panel ruled that Wakefield repeatedly breached the fundamental principles of research medicine during the course of the study, which it said involved carrying out unnecessary and invasive tests on children without official permission. One incident that garnered a great deal of attention was a birthday party in which Wakefield admittedly took blood samples from a group of children, rewarding them with £5 each, an act that “showed callous disregard for any distress or pain the children might suffer,” according to the panel.
Many studies came out to refute Dr. Wakefield’s 1998 findings, however, the incessant smear campaign against him as an individual seems to really highlight the strategy of undermining anyone who seeks answers around vaccines and autism, ultimately serving to dissuade others from following a similar path.

Along my journey through the medical freedom community, I have met, spoken to and became close with many families who make one simple claim: we took our child in for his/her shots, he/she had a severe reaction, and the child never came back after that. You have probably had a similar experience. Perhaps this has happened to your family. No honest attempt seems to be made to address this specific concern.
To this day, Dr. Wakefield is a strong advocate of vaccine risk awareness, having produced several films in recent years, including the Vaxxed Series (more on that later), 1986 the Act and the 2022 film Infertility: A Diabolical Agenda.
Stay tuned for Part Three where we will further explore some of the controversial studies and work done by Dr. Brian Hooker, Dr. Rashid Buttar and further blowback that occurred as a result.

thank you!!
Please protect children from all these toxic vaccines. None of them have ever worked except to cause autism, cancer, polio, brain, damage, and more.
