In this episode of the No Pill Podcast, I take a deep dive into the contested relationship between vaccines and autism, centering on claims about aluminum adjuvants, study design flaws, and immune activation pathways. I highlight testimony from Toby Rogers on how “placebo,” “inert,” and “randomized controlled trial” are often misused in vaccine safety research, discuss the Capacity-Load-Trigger theory of autism causation, and review posts by JB Handley arguing that removing mandates—like the moves proposed in Florida—could lead to lower autism rates. I walk through studies frequently cited by vaccine skeptics, including analyses on DTP and asthma/allergies, Hepatitis B and special education/autism risk, Jackson State University’s vaccinated vs. unvaccinated comparisons (including preterm infants), and Hooker/Miller’s pediatric practice data. I also summarize mechanistic research linking maternal immune activation, cytokines (notably IL-6), microglial activation, and aluminum adjuvants to neuroinflammation and atypical brain development, and point listeners to resources that compile and interpret these studies. A brief detour covers a wayward NASA balloon recovery in Texas, and I close with a personal life update and requests for prayer regarding family health, transportation woes, and church decisions.
Resources mentioned and discussed include: Toby Rogers’ congressional testimony and Substack posts; the Capacity-Load-Trigger theory paper by Claire Craigpath and Tim Calley (with Rogers’ edits); JB Handley’s articles on Florida mandates and aluminum adjuvants; studies on DTP and allergy/asthma outcomes; SUNY Stony Brook research on Hepatitis B and special education/autism associations; Jackson State University’s vaccinated vs. unvaccinated studies and the preterm subgroup analysis; Hooker/Miller’s pediatric chart review; work by Chris Shaw and Lucija Tomljenovic on aluminum adjuvants; Paul Patterson’s maternal immune activation research; Johns Hopkins findings on neuroinflammation in autism; and the Vaccine Papers site. I encourage listeners to read the linked studies in the show notes for full context and to reach out with feedback or critiques.

Hello again, everybody. This is Andrew Hoffman with the No Pill Podcast, episode 20, autism rates set to plummet. It's good to be with you again. It's been a while. My apologies for that. I'll include an explanation slash life update at the end if you're interested. But for now, let's get into the the meat and potatoes of the episode. Pretty focused on on mainly one subject, vaccines slash autism. And, yes, they are related. So we'll we'll talk about it from a few different angles, but one major, major conclusion, which I think has been definitively shown. And if you disagree with that, you're welcome to to read what I point you to and write me an email about why that doesn't doesn't prove anything. I'd I would be happy to to, review your opinion there. So, episode episode 20, let's get into it with a clip from Toby Rogers. I've used a ton of Toby Rogers stuff, familiar with him on Substack.
And there he is testifying in front of Congress. It's kind of exciting. It's like the, you know, the truth tellers on Substack get their get to go to Washington now. So that's good for him. This is a a clip talking about the vaccine safety studies that As you you may have heard the the media say, oh, it's, you know, it's proven that vaccines don't cause autism. You know, there's no evidence that they do. And he goes into specifics about how they make that claim and why it is totally bogus.
[00:02:45] Unknown:
In PhD programs, you have to read original sources, and you have to define terms. Let's be crystal clear about the definitions of these terms because the fate of the Republic depends on getting these definitions right. And doctor Scott is playing fast and loose with these definitions, so let's be crystal clear about what we mean. Inert should mean that the substance does not cause a chemical or biological reaction in the body. When supporters of the status quo use the word inert, they can mean just about anything. Paul Offit routinely calls mercury and aluminum inert even though they are known neurotoxicants.
Philip Grandjean and and Philip Langegarn, they're the best two tech toxicologists in the world. They published a study in 2014 that says both aluminum and ethylmercury are known neurotoxicants. But the supporters of the status quo say that these things are safe, and they're not. They're absolutely not. In the context of vaccines, placebo should mean saline as verified by independent third party testing. That's not what the supporters of the status quo mean when they say placebo. The fact is the FDA has no regulations concerning the contents of placebos.
So manufacturers can put whatever they want into the comparative intervention and can still call it a placebo by law. Furthermore, scientific journals have no regulations concerning the contents of placebos. Sometimes the manufacturers disclose them in connection with the study, and about two thirds of the time, they do not. And a double blind randomized controlled trial should have two groups, A group that receives the vaccine, that's the treatment group, and a completely unvaccinated group given a saline placebo, that's the control group. That's not what the supporters of the status quo mean when they say randomized control trial.
They compared two groups, but one group gets the new vaccine and another group gets a shot full of aluminum adjuvants, or they compare a new shot to an older shot. But the one thing they never do is to compare a completely unvaccinated group with a vaccinated group because everyone knows that such a trial will show harms. So if you go through all 1,704 trials in the database that doctor Scott has put together as as, Aaron Siri has done, you'll find that the inert ingredients are not inert. The placebo is not saline, and the randomized controlled trial does not have a completely unvaccinated control group. And we know that my assertion here is correct because on page nine of his written statement, doctor Scott states that vaccinated versus unvaccinated studies are especially prone to bias.
It's hard to imagine a more Orwellian statement. Up is down, left is right, dogs are cast. And according to doctor Scott, a proper vaccinated versus unvaccinated study is unethical. That's why we're in this mess. That's why we have an autism and chronic disease epidemic in this country.
[00:05:52] Unknown:
So Toby Rogers obviously read write about all that and made some excellent points there. I mean, when you hear when you hear the words placebo, randomized controlled trial, you're thinking, okay. Well, the the control group didn't get whatever is being tested. That's kind of the whole point. Right? But, no, that's not the case at all. And very importantly, he specifically pointed out you can be in the control group and get pumped full of aluminum adjuvants. And that that will be very important to what we're gonna talk about here in a few minutes. So let's take another look here.
He just did he had a short post talking about, Claire Craigpath and Tim Calley just produced a very impressive new paper on autism causation where they advanced the capacity load trigger theory, which basically it takes all three to cause autism. Their paper is linked below, and here are my minor edits. Number one, capacity equals genetic tolerance or lack thereof, MTHFR, DHFR, FOLR1 variance plus underlying mitochondrial issues plus health of the body's existing detoxification pathways. Number two, load existing levels of toxicants in mom and the baby, synthetic folate, pesticide fire retardant fire retardants, endocrine disruptors, metals, pharmaceuticals, and the body's current responses to these toxicants, including autoantibodies, ear infections, eczema, colds, flu, etcetera, and trigger acute immune or metabolic insults, such as vaccines, infection, fever, acute toxic exposures.
My additional thoughts about the political economy of all this, one could survive one and two, the capacity and the, you know, the genetic and the existing levels of toxicants if it were not for the relentless assaults of the CDC's pregnancy and childhood vaccine schedules. But given the power of the pharmaceutical industry, CLT is is most likely CLT, that's capacity load trigger theory. He goes on, let's see. CLT is most likely to produce policy changes related to one and two or to one, the capacity, MTHFR, and a bit of two while policymakers try to ignore three, I e, the trigger, the vaccines being the main one.
The power is in our hands by not by just not vaccinate in the first place, which would reduce autism rates up to by up to eighty eight percent. Yeah. I would I I think that's conservative. I mean, you there are a lot of other existing factors. And because, obviously, lots of mothers have been heavily vaccinated and there there are those other, you know, toxicants, other issues out there. But I you know, you give it, like, like, two generations, autism would be gone. It just people stop vaccinating, autism's gone in in two generations and would drop precipitously right away.
And he goes on, I would just add, I doubt autism is solely related to folate metabolism, but, CLT gets us much closer to a comprehensive response to the epidemic. Alright. And one of the first comments there is from, j b handley, another great, substacker, and he says, fantastic. The focus is on toxic insults where it belongs. Alright. Yes. The toxic insults. And not meaning toxic from a woke perspective there. Literal toxic insults to the to the body. And, this article here, Florida's autism rate set to plummet. That's from the aforementioned JB Handley, kind of the inspiration for the title of this episode.
And he goes on to say, the news coming out of Florida today is a bombshell for vaccine pushers. Florida's governor said he'll be asking the state legislature to repeal a statute that requires children to receive vaccines for polio, diphtheria, measles, and mumps before entering school. If it passes, Florida will be the first in the nation to eliminate all vaccine mandates for children and and adults. Other vaccines, including those for chickenpox, hepatitis b, and strep infections are mandated by the state health department as opposed to Florida's legislature. The state surgeon general, Joseph Latipo, said his department will soon issue rules repealing those requirements too. People have a right to make their own decisions, said Latipo, who joined governor Ron DeSantis for the announcement on Wednesday. If you don't wanna put whatever vaccines in your body, god bless you, and I hope you make an informed decision.
And that's how it should be. So it's got the, implications. People like me and, as an aside, me, are always labeled anti vaccine. What I actually believe is very simple. I believe the risk reward for childhood hypervaccination has never been accurately measured, meaning that while the benefits of vaccines have been shouted from the rooftops, the risks of vaccines have been systematically and purposefully obscured. Florida changes all that because the number of fully unvaccinated children in the state is likely to skyrocket. And if our community is right, the autism rate will in turn, plummet. Before Florida, it's been very challenging to evaluate unvaccinated children because there are so few of them, and yet the studies that have looked have generally found very disturbing results.
Unvaccinated kids are much healthier according to seven studies that have been published in the scientific literature. Anyone in the scientific community knows that getting a study published that portrays vaccines in a negative light is nearly impossible, which means these studies likely represent a tip of a the tip of an iceberg. The first study that compared children who received a vaccine with children that didn't was published in February. Although autism wasn't something the study considered, it was still revealing. Titled effects of diphtheria tetanus pertussis or tetanus vaccination on allergies and allergy related respiratory symptoms among children and adolescents in The United States. This study from the UCLA School of Public Health did look specifically at the DTP vaccine to see if it might be responsible for allergies and allergy related symptoms, such as asthma. Looking at more than 13,000 children, the study found that DTP or tetanus vaccination in US children is associated with a lifetime history of asthma or other allergy allergies and allergy related symptoms.
Assuming that the estimated vaccination effect is unbiased, fifty percent of diagnosed asthma cases, two point nine three million, in US children and adolescents would be prevented if the DTP or tetanus vaccine was not administered. So the first study to ever compare a group that received a vaccine with a group that hadn't, found a dramatic difference in rates of asthma and allergies among the vaccinated group. So much so, they thought that not getting the DTP vaccine, specifically just that one vaccine, might reduce cases of asthma by fifty percent. Note that many children with autism suffer from what are known as comorbid conditions such as asthma, allergies, and other autoimmune conditions.
In In 02/2008, in the second study ever to look at a group of children who didn't receive a vaccine, public health researchers Carolyn Gallagher and Melody Goodman from the SUNY, SUNY, Stony Brook looked at the possible relationship between the hepatitis b vaccine and special education. Children who received the full series of hepatitis b vaccines, three separate vaccines, the first one given on day one of life, were more likely to end up in special education classes than children who didn't receive any hepatitis vaccines? So that was the question.
It was published in the journal Toxicological and Environmental Chemistry, and the results were pretty clear. The full series of hepatitis b led to a ninefold greater likelihood of receiving special education. Not great. Alright. So it's got a a link to the study there. And boys vaccinated as neonates had threefold greater odds for autism diagnosis compared to boys never vaccinated or vaccinated after the first month of life. Okay. So, this was from the same researchers that looked at hepatitis B vaccination of male neonates and autism diagnosis.
So, a threefold greater increase there just with that considering that one vaccine. Journalist David Kirby appreciated the significance of the new findings, writing in the Huffington Post. Post. The study will be among the first university based population studies to suggest an association between a vaccine and an increased risk for autism. That would be in direct contradiction to all those MMR and thimerosal studies that purportedly found no such thing. The two Goodman and Gallagher articles about the hepatitis b, raise many concerns. I've met pediatricians who feel that the hepatitis b vaccine specifically has triggered the epidemic of neurological disorders and autoimmunity we now see in our children.
Hepatitis b was the first vaccine introduced after congress indemnified vaccine makers from liability in 1986. The vaccine is a high dose of aluminum, which I believe is the primary cause of autism and it's often given to babies on day one of life, which many immunologists feel is a huge mistake. These two studies raise major concerns, but I'm guessing you never knew either of these studies existed, which supports my point about scientists and PR firms. In 2017, however, something amazing happened. Two separate studies compared vaccinated and completely unvaccinated children actually got published. Unlike the Goodman and Gallagher studies above, which only explored a single vaccine, the rest of a child's vaccine status was simply not considered.
These two new studies met the gold standard. They found children who had never received any vaccines and looked at their health outcomes in a variety of ways. The public health researchers from Jackson State University originally plan to publish a single study until they looked at the data on children born, prematurely, noting that the data on the difference in health outcomes for vaccinated versus unvaccinated premature infants was so dramatic it deserved its own study. Published in the Journal of Translational Science, the first groundbreaking study was called pilot comparative study on the health of vaccinated and unvaccinated six to twelve year old US children, and its results were so devastating to The US vaccine program that there wasn't a single media outlet in the country that covered its release.
The results of comparing vaccinated children to completely unvaccinated children were no surprise to me, my wife, or any of the autism parents I know but perhaps would surprise others. So I looked at just a a whole variety of well, the vaccinated were less likely than the unvaccinated to have been diagnosed with with chickenpox and pertussis, but more likely to okay. So so the less the less diagnosis, and we've talked about that scan before, of chickenpox and pertussis. You have the exact same symptoms. And if you're vaccinated, they don't call it chickenpox and pertussis. And if you're unvaccinated, they call it chickenpox and pertussis, but side issue there.
But more likely to have been diagnosed with pneumonia, otitis media, allergies, and neurodevelopmental disorders, just a little more significant than chickenpox. After adjustment, vaccination, male, gender, and preterm birth remains significantly associated with neurodevelopmental disorders. Specifically, vaccinated children were found to have a fourfold higher likelihood of having autism. I'm reminded of a quote by doctor Daniel Neids of the Cleveland Clinic who wondered if we were making trade offs that aren't worth it. He said some of the vaccines have helped reduce the incidence of childhood communicable diseases like chickenpox and pertussis, but not at the expense of neurological diseases like autism and any ADHD increasing at alarming rates. Simultaneously, the Jackson State authors published a study in the same journal just looking at children born prematurely, titled Preterm Birth, Vaccination, and Neurodevelopmental Disorders, a Cross Sectional Study of six-twelve Year Old Vaccinated and Unvaccinated Children. The results were disturbing as the researchers found children born prematurely and vaccinated were 14 more likely to develop a neurodevelopmental disorder that authors were appropriately concerned. Preterm birth coupled with vaccination, however, was associated with a synergistic increase in the odds of neurodevelopmental disorders, suggesting the possibility that vaccination could precipitate adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes in preterm infants. The results provide clues to the epidemiology and causation of neurodevelopmental disorders but question the safety of current vaccination programs for preterm infants.
In 2020, doctor Brian Hooker hey, doctor Brian Hooker of Children's Health Defense there, and Neil Miller took the study of unvaccinated children to a new level by looking at actual data from a pediatrician's office who had a large number of unvaccinated patients. The study, analysis of health outcomes in vaccinated and unvaccinated children, developmental delays, asthma, ear infections, and gastrointestinal disorders concluded exactly what by now is a pretty familiar refrain. Vaccination before one year of age was associated with increased odds of developmental delays, ninety five percent higher, asthma, ear infections.
In a quartile analysis, subjects were grouped by number of vaccine doses received in the first year of life. Higher odds ratios were observed in quartiles three and four, where more vaccine doses were received for all four health conditions considered as compared to quartile one. In the temporal analysis, developmental delays showed a linear increase as the age cutoffs increased from six to 12 to 18 to 24 of age. Slightly higher, let's see, ORs were observed for all four health conditions when time permitted for a diagnosis was extended from greater than three years of age to greater than five years of age. Conclusion in this study, which only allowed for the calculation of unadjusted observational associations, higher ORs.
So ORs. What was ORs? So many acronyms. Alright. Well, you probably are telling me what the ORs was. We're we're gonna move on. Were observed within the vaccinated versus unvaccinated group for development to delays asthma and ear infections. Further study is necessary to understand the full spectrum of health effects associated with childhood vaccination. Alright. So same story goes on a little bit, but that is nothing compared to the epic magnum opus, which we'll cover here shortly. We'll we will take a little detour, though. I did want to, talk about something besides autism and vaccines in this episode.
So this was emailed to me, from Caleb, longtime listener of Revelation Radio News, and and has has come on over to the the No Pill podcast. Appreciate having Caleb listening. And he sent me a a NASA balloon story. So this is out of Texas. And we'll just we'll read the story, and I'll I'll try to reserve commentary till the end. She saw a car sized text car sized object above a Texas farm and found a wayward hunk of NASA equipment. Alright. This is from, physics phys.org, phys, like physics dot org. When Ann Walter looked outside her rural West Texas home, she didn't know what to make of the bulky objects slowly drifting across the sky. She was even more surprised to see what actually landed in her neighbor's wheat field, a boxy piece of scientific equipment about the size of a sport utility vehicle attached to a massive parachute adorned with NASA stickers. She called the local sheriff's office and learned that NASA indeed was looking for a piece of equipment that had gone lost. It's crazy because when you're standing on the ground and see something in the air, you don't really realize how big it is, she said. It was probably a 30 foot parachute. It was huge.
Walter said she soon got a call from NASA's Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility, which launches large, unmanned, high altitude research balloons more than 20 miles into the atmosphere to conduct scientific experiments. Officials at NASA, which is impacted by the ongoing government shutdown, did not return oh, it's oh, poor NASA. Did not return messages Thursday. A message left with the balloon facility also was not immediately returned. A launch schedule on the balloon facility's website shows a series of launches from Fort Sumner, New Mexico, which is about a 140 miles west of where the equipment landed.
Hale County sheriff David Cochran confirmed that NASA officials called his office last week in search of the equipment. Walter said she immediately spoke with someone at the balloon facility who told her it had been launched a day earlier, which I don't know. That's the timeline doesn't really match up there. Okay. So the sheriff said they called his office last week, and then she ultimately spoke who said it would it had only been launched a day earlier. Okay. Uses telescopes to gather information about stars, galaxies, and black holes. Oh, yes. Yes. Because from, however many how many miles did they say would be up? Let's see.
I don't know. Let's a couple miles up. I mean, not that high. You're you're gonna get information about black holes better from a couple miles up on a balloon than you can get from, from Earth. That's a that's a likely story there. Alright. Researchers came out with a truck and trailer than they used to pick it up, but not before Walter and her family who live in Edmonton, Texas were able to capture some photos and videos. It's kinda surreal it happened to us, and I was a part of it, she said. It was a very cool experience. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So it's they love their aluminum foil there.
Got some communications equipment on it. I don't know if this is exactly a Saddlelune, but I'm not exactly sure where the looking into deep outer space to study black holes equipment is on this, this piece of junk here. So then I'll throw the picture in the the show notes too. It's a good idea. So thank you, Caleb. Always gotta keep an eye out on the the saloons and and weird all this stuff. You know? That's NASA uses more helium than any organization on on Earth, but but everything everything's fine. It's, you know, it's all about rockets and deep space travel and landing on meteorites and scooping stuff up and bringing it back, landing perfectly. So we we we lose track of an object, that was launched in New Mexico, and they have to call the sheriff's department and have people report where it where it landed in Texas.
But they could totally track stuff millions of miles away and get, you know, get information back from that and put out, you know, animation and pictures and everything else. Okay. It's, it it it all makes sense. Alright. And a little the comedy segment from from NASA there and back into the main the main idea of tonight's episode. So this is another JB Handley, and this this one, I mean, it it truly is huge. I I was gonna try to read the whole thing. I would not make it through. So I I'm gonna read some of it, but please do actually go to the the show notes. It's, a hoffman.substack.com, and it'll say episode 20 show notes.
And this story is aluminum it's under the link that says aluminum adjuvant is the primary cause of the autism epidemic by JB Handley. So he he kind of explains where all this stuff comes from. It goes all the way back to 02/2004. So the idea that, you know, oh, this has all been studied and looked at, it just it it's total lies. This stuff has been looked at, and when it gets looked at, there's a link to autism, vaccines and autism. And this specifically covers the aluminum link to autism. And we've we've talked previously about how the adjuvant is the vaccine.
The adjuvant is what gets the antibody response and for them to say, look. Vaccine working. There's no like, the the supposed dead virus in there or, you know, those type of vaccines, they don't work without an adjuvant. And there's a there's excuses for that, but the reality is the thing that gets a measurable body response that they claim is vaccine vaccine working is the adjuvant, which is usually aluminum. And, he talks about it later in the article. The only thing they've ever looked at was a very limited study on mercury specifically and one vaccine, and that linked to autism. They were able to, you know, somewhat explain it away.
And like we heard back in the original Toby Rogers play, a lot of the way they explain stuff away is like, oh, look at the study. You know, the control group had just as much death and destruction as the vaccine group. Well, the if the if you're pumping someone full in the of aluminum adjuvant and they're the control group, yes, they will have just as many problems as someone in the in the vaccine group. And that's why, you know, they use the the most toxic vaccines they can find for the control group, or just, you know, pure adjuvant. So that's how the that's how the game is rigged. That's how they get the results they wanted to tell you.
And it's not you know? I wanna know whether it's you know, defining something as safe doesn't mean, like, well, just as many people died in the control group. That doesn't mean it's safe. Right? That means you rigged the study. Safe means, yeah, nobody died. It's safe. There's no ill effects from this this product, this medical intervention. And effective would mean it actually prevents what you're trying to prevent by vaccinating. And, you know, obviously, neither of those, ever happen with any vaccine. Alright. So one interesting section, he says, why is aluminum in vaccines at all?
Aluminum is a critical component of most vaccines given to children. It serves as an adjuvant, meaning the aluminum serves to wake up the immune system, provoking the immune system to recognize the antigen within the recognize the antigen within the vaccine for whatever disease the vaccine serves to protect against. The amount of aluminum of vaccines given to children skyrocketed beginning in the early 1990s for two reasons. One, more vaccines were added to the children's vaccine schedule. And two, the vaccination rate for all vaccines given to children rose from fifty to sixty percent of children vaccinated in the mid nineteen eighties to over ninety percent today. Today. A child in the mid eighties would have received 1,250 micrograms of aluminum from their vaccines by their 18 birthday if they were fully vaccinated.
Today, that number is four thousand nine hundred and twenty five micrograms, a near quadrupling of total aluminum. You can read more about this in an excellent study published by Neil Miller. Here's an image from the study. It shows age specific and cumulative aluminum exposure by 18 of age. Yes. So 18, 4,925. So we've quadrupled the amount from the eighties to to today. And, you know, autism has gone shooting up, but, yeah, just total coincidence. I'm I'm sure it's a coincidence. It's gotta be genetic, because, you know, the human genome, it probably changed drastically over the the last last thirty years.
It can't be four time four x ing the aluminum. Mystifyingly, aluminum has never experienced biological testing to consider it safety for being injected into babies, having been grandfathered into our modern safety standards. Canadian scientists, doctor Chris Shaw and doctor, Lucia Tomlih Tomlihanovich addressed this omission in a critical study they published in 02/2011, fourteen years ago, in current medicinal chemistry titled aluminum vaccine adjuvants. Are they safe? And, I just sent an excerpt from that article. Aluminum is an experimentally demonstrated neurotoxin in the most commonly used vaccine adjuvant.
Despite almost ninety years of widespread use of aluminum adjuvants, medical sciences' understanding about their mechanisms of action is still remarkably poor. There's also a concerning scarcity of data on toxicology and pharmo, pharmacokinetics of these compounds. In spite of this, the notion that aluminum in vaccines is safe appears to be widely accepted. Experimental research, however, clearly shows that aluminum adjuvants have a potential to induce serious immunological disorders in humans. In particular, aluminum in adjuvant form carries a risk for autoimmunity, long term brain inflammation, and associated neurological complications, and may have may thus have profound and widespread adverse health consequences.
I can that is, I'm a blanket on his name, but, decided to test the CDC and NIH's ability to produce any studies to show the safety of vaccine adjuvant through a FOIA lawsuit. But now I'm guessing you know how that ended, but you can read the whole article here. In summary, CDC and NIH's response to ICANN's Freedom of Information Act, regarding aluminum adjuvant to reveal a stunning admission. They do not have a single study to support the safety of recommending repeated injection of the cyto and neurotoxic substance as part of the CDC's childhood vaccine set schedule.
Alright. And this he talks about, doctor Paul Patterson, who passed away in 2014, but did study back in 2004 that was very crucial to kind of this whole line of of research there. And then also mentions the website vaccine papers. I'll have a link to that as well. Very good website. Lots of, you know, the studies that that have been done. And then, the the keeper of the website's kind of interpretation and and opinions on that. Alright. So discovery number one, maternal immune activation can cause autism. While doctor Patterson's passing wasn't something I was aware of at the time, it was certainly recognized by the scientific community of which his obituary from Caltech explains in great detail.
Doctor Patterson's research focused on interactions between the nervous and immune systems, a connection that was not universally acknowledged in the early days of neuroscience, explains his obituary. He became intrigued by epidemiological studies that had linked a severe viral or bacterial infection during pregnancy with the increased risk of a of a woman giving birth to a child with a neurodevelopmental disorder, such as schizophrenia or autism. Patterson and his coworkers reproduce this human effect in mice using a viral mimic that triggers an infection like immune response in the mother producing in the offspring the core behavioral symptoms associated with the autism and schizophrenia.
It's got a link to his paper there. And a quote from that article, as we learn more about the connections between the brain and the immune system, we find that these seemingly independent networks of cells are, in fact, continually talking to each other. As an adult, the activation of your immune system causes many striking changes in your behavior, increased sleep, loss of appetite, less social interaction, and, of course, headaches. Conversely, stress in your life as perceived by your brain can influence immune function. The brain regulates immune organs such as the the spleen via the atomic nervous system. Recent evidence shows that this brain immune conversation actually starts during the development of the embryo where the state of the mother's immune system can alter the growth of cells in the fetal brain.
As we shall see, such alterations can lead to an increased risk of schizophrenia or autism in the offspring. Are you with me so far? Basically, what doctor Patterson is saying is that if her pregnant mother gets sick, virus bacteria will present while pregnant, in event that activates her immune system, that activation can impact the neurodevelopment develop it can impact the neurodevelopment, how exactly the brain is constructed, of her fetus, potentially leading to neurological problems after birth. Doctor Patterson took this explanation a step further, explaining that the brains of people with autism reflect the immune system activation that took place even decades later as he cites valuable work being done at Johns Hopkins.
There's also striking evidence of immune dysregulation in the brain itself. K. So they looked at people after they died, patients with autism between eight and 44 years old, and they found inflammation in their brains, but that wasn't the cause of death. So they died of drowning, heart attacks, whatever they had died of. But in all the deceased autism patients, they found the same brain inflammation, amazing increases of certain cytokines in the brain and of others in the cerebrospinal fluid. This is a landmark paper. In my opinion, it presents the first evidence that there's an ongoing permanent immune system activation in the brains of autistic people. It's a subclinical state because there's no overt infection, but it's there. Alright. So then another study linking immune activation from cytokine interleukin six.
So more specifics on what's going on there. So in I mean, this goes on and on and on. So it you know, despite the sound bites, despite the quick and he he goes into some of those. Well, Paul Offit, you know, here's what Paul Offit says. Well, you know, look. These people's these poor kids' brains are all messed up, and that can't happen, you know, because of a vaccine. It's gotta be something that's genetic. Well, no. That's that's just a a faulty, faulty premise. It's just an assumption. It's not even an argument. And he he goes through the reasons for that. So the the way they've done it is the aluminum safety studies that they considered, they considered different types of aluminum.
So they considered, like, aluminum salts and, stuff that you would ingest. Right? So not great, but your body doesn't absorb all of it. It eliminates most of it through, you know, feces and and urine, and it's not that damaging long term. Well, the version of aluminum that gets put into vaccines as an adjuvant is this nanoparticle aluminum, and it gets into the immune system, specifically, macrophages. And the macrophages then carry the aluminum all around your body, including, importantly in the case of autism, to your brain. So it builds up in your brain. That's why you have ongoing inflammation constantly. And you look at a look at a kid with the autism, one very common thing, they want, like, just slam their head into stuff.
And it's they you know, if this thesis is correct and it's very convincing, I'm just I'm covering, like, 5% of the the evidence that's in here. You know, they're dealing with an ongoing, never ending inflammation of the of their brain. And that's you know, there's swelling. There's all sorts of stuff going on, and it it's torturous. And it you know, you man. Also, all all this so that big pharma can keep, you know, keep making money? Is that what it's not really about money. It's about eugenics. It's about making people sick, making people lifelong, patients of the system.
And it's, you know, at at some demonic level, it's all intentional. I don't think it's at the Paul Offit level, necessarily, it's all intentional. But at the at the spiritual level, this is it's an attack on people. So, another discovery, aluminum can increase interleukin six in the brain. And let's see. Man, this whole thing is so good. So a very, very good chart showing brain development. This is why Paul Offit's already or I think I said Paul Offit, which he was talked about, but I think, let's see, doctor Hotez is the one I was thinking of. So Hotez, he's, you know, he's got a kid with autism too, but it can't be the vaccines. It's gotta be genetics and what have you. Well, brain development is ongoing after birth. So it's you don't have a fully developed brain when you're born.
It's just a it's a bogus argument. There's specific types, Apoptosis, Synaptogenesis, Gliogenesis, myelination. Okay. These are all brain development stages that are happening. They're concurrent. They're going on at the same time. But they're going on well into adolescence and even, you know, to adult to adulthood. I mean, that's what they the old joke about the the teenage boy's brain isn't fully developed yet. Well, there's there's truth to that. And so, therefore, you can't assume that if the brain's messed up, that it doesn't have anything to do with what's happened to the person during their childhood, especially, you know, as an as an infant, as a small child, what have you. So there's also stuff about the connection to the gut, which is has has been talked about quite a bit, autism and and gut issues and why those are connected.
But all this so these studies all from all over the world, but other than the original one that's talked about, 02/2004, Caltech, all foreign. Big Pharma controls the research of American universities at such a high level through the government, through grants, through the whole Fauci system that none of this actual research, the actual good science, is coming from America. I mean, it's crazy. We got some good bloggers, though. So Toby Rogers and and JB Handley. But, but as far as published research, no. It's all getting published overseas.
So I can't recommend it enough. I mean, it's you get a few different charts here. You've got aluminum adjuvants in vaccines, times genetic susceptibility equal equals microglia activation, which leads to neuroinflammation, autophagy impairment, which leads to defective synaptic pruning, and which leads to excessive dendritic spines, which are observed in autism spectrum disorder. So you that's one perspective of if you're looking at the actual, like, brain growth happening, that's what's that's where the damage is happening. So he talks about his own kid and watching, you know, stuff get worse every vaccine appointment. Interestingly, the whole, will we just need to do a smaller dose and spread them out? No. It's in some ways, that's actually worse because the the aluminum, if it's if you pump the child, like, with a whole bunch of vaccines at once, usually the body is going to react by walling off the rest of the body to, you know, to the poison that's being pumped into it. It recognizes it, walls it off, so you get, like, the really sore shoulder. You get some maybe even, you know, redness, swelling going on at the injection site, but it mainly stays there.
With the low dose, that's when it it gets in, gets transported throughout the body and ends up building up in your brain causing all sorts of problems. So, anyway, excellent article. And, like, yes. It's the the studies are not being done in The US, but the studies are being done. This is all it's all proven stuff. I mean, you cannot read this whole thing and just say, oh, well, you know, we gotta do more. We gotta do donate to Autism Speaks. We gotta figure this thing out. I mean, come on. So, anyway, let me let me skip down to, implications.
So he the author says so JB Handley says, I wanna know what exactly happened to my son. When he was diagnosed with autism in 02/2004, the prevailing understanding of autism in the parent community was that it was growing exponentially. Many parents were seeing changes after vaccine appointments and that mercury or a live virus, like measles, were the most likely causes. We had no biological science. The understanding of aluminum or the aluminum adjuvant was comically simplistic, almost a throwaway point. We had no idea what an immune activation event, a cytokine, or interleukin-six meant. In fact, if you want a good laugh, see how doctor Paul Offit is still describing aluminum adjuvant, despite its now proven extreme neurotoxicity.
He states, Parents can be reassured that the trace quantities of aluminum in vaccines can't possibly do harm. Based on published science beginning in 02/2009, this is an unsupportable lie. Everything you have read so far is based on published science. The grand theory of autism causation, in my opinion, holds together pretty strongly. Will we look back one day and say that aluminum adjuvant caused the autism epidemic the way we say that thalidomide triggered birth defects? I think we will, but that's just my opinion. So he goes, he's got some letters in here where they, were writing to this is these are foreign doctors that published some of these studies.
Recently, scientists from The US, Canada, France, and Israel are all standing the alarm about the aluminum adjuvant used in vaccines. And they sent it to the, you know, FDA, CDC, all that stuff with the exact impact, that you would expect. So it's got those those letters posted. So well worth reading. Take some time. Read through it. I mean, especially I mean, don't we all know somebody with autism at this point? The part of the importance of this is if if aluminum is the main, environmental driver and aluminum in the brain, then, you know, let's figure out how to get some of that aluminum out of your system in a in a safe way that, can get get some relief to these these kids and these adults now with autism.
So, anyway, I hope you enjoyed that. A little personal update. So I'm sorry it's been been a while since doing the show. Just the the never ending, story with with me tends to be, car issues, which which fully came to a head, basically. Car we bought in, it was earlier this year, after my wife was in a, you know, car car wreck that totaled the car. So we bought a Ford Explorer from a shady used car car lot. Nothing but problems constantly. I mean, it's it's been in and out of the shop. Finally, the place we took it to is like, I'll just, you know, take it to the dealership. They'll be able to figure it out. Took it to the dealership. They're like, oh, well, you probably need a new engine for $10,000. Like, okay.
Well, that's not gonna happen. So, anyway, we we got a new vehicle, with the car loan, unfortunately. Never I know Dave Ramsey would not be happy, but it is a a fairly new vehicle with, you know, like, 33,000 miles on it or 35,000 miles or something, not a 140. So we're hoping to get a nice long use out of it without a a ton of issues. So, prayers along along that line are appreciated. Yeah. It was that was not a good experience. So I was gonna do a show last week, and that's what I was was doing. We were retrieving the car for the last time and taking it to another, retrieving the car for the last time and taking it to another dealership and trading it in for for a Hyundai. We got a a Hyundai. So I've I've had better luck in the past with Hyundai. So it says Hyundai Santa Fe.
So, anyway, we're we're happy with that. Also, my wife's still having some health issues, so prayers about that would great greatly be appreciated and, just that we kinda figure out what is going on there. Got some ideas, but but just kinda trying to figure that out. And, and, also, we are kinda in the process of, potentially moving from one church to another, which is never an easy thing to do. And then it's you know? I mean, there's you don't wanna move just to move, but at the same time, you don't wanna stay in a church that you you just really don't feel that you should be at anymore.
So, you know, please pray for pray for us in that that process as well. So, really appreciate everyone listening. If you get a chance to to shoot me an email or what have you, I'd love to hear from you. And, again, thanks so much for listening. And, hopefully, this time, I really will do another episode here sooner rather than later. Thanks so much.
Hello again, everybody. This is Andrew Hoffman with the No Pill Podcast, episode 20, autism rates set to plummet. It's good to be with you again. It's been a while. My apologies for that. I'll include an explanation slash life update at the end if you're interested. But for now, let's get into the the meat and potatoes of the episode. Pretty focused on on mainly one subject, vaccines slash autism. And, yes, they are related. So we'll we'll talk about it from a few different angles, but one major, major conclusion, which I think has been definitively shown. And if you disagree with that, you're welcome to to read what I point you to and write me an email about why that doesn't doesn't prove anything. I'd I would be happy to to, review your opinion there. So, episode episode 20, let's get into it with a clip from Toby Rogers. I've used a ton of Toby Rogers stuff, familiar with him on Substack.
And there he is testifying in front of Congress. It's kind of exciting. It's like the, you know, the truth tellers on Substack get their get to go to Washington now. So that's good for him. This is a a clip talking about the vaccine safety studies that As you you may have heard the the media say, oh, it's, you know, it's proven that vaccines don't cause autism. You know, there's no evidence that they do. And he goes into specifics about how they make that claim and why it is totally bogus.
[00:02:45] Unknown:
In PhD programs, you have to read original sources, and you have to define terms. Let's be crystal clear about the definitions of these terms because the fate of the Republic depends on getting these definitions right. And doctor Scott is playing fast and loose with these definitions, so let's be crystal clear about what we mean. Inert should mean that the substance does not cause a chemical or biological reaction in the body. When supporters of the status quo use the word inert, they can mean just about anything. Paul Offit routinely calls mercury and aluminum inert even though they are known neurotoxicants.
Philip Grandjean and and Philip Langegarn, they're the best two tech toxicologists in the world. They published a study in 2014 that says both aluminum and ethylmercury are known neurotoxicants. But the supporters of the status quo say that these things are safe, and they're not. They're absolutely not. In the context of vaccines, placebo should mean saline as verified by independent third party testing. That's not what the supporters of the status quo mean when they say placebo. The fact is the FDA has no regulations concerning the contents of placebos.
So manufacturers can put whatever they want into the comparative intervention and can still call it a placebo by law. Furthermore, scientific journals have no regulations concerning the contents of placebos. Sometimes the manufacturers disclose them in connection with the study, and about two thirds of the time, they do not. And a double blind randomized controlled trial should have two groups, A group that receives the vaccine, that's the treatment group, and a completely unvaccinated group given a saline placebo, that's the control group. That's not what the supporters of the status quo mean when they say randomized control trial.
They compared two groups, but one group gets the new vaccine and another group gets a shot full of aluminum adjuvants, or they compare a new shot to an older shot. But the one thing they never do is to compare a completely unvaccinated group with a vaccinated group because everyone knows that such a trial will show harms. So if you go through all 1,704 trials in the database that doctor Scott has put together as as, Aaron Siri has done, you'll find that the inert ingredients are not inert. The placebo is not saline, and the randomized controlled trial does not have a completely unvaccinated control group. And we know that my assertion here is correct because on page nine of his written statement, doctor Scott states that vaccinated versus unvaccinated studies are especially prone to bias.
It's hard to imagine a more Orwellian statement. Up is down, left is right, dogs are cast. And according to doctor Scott, a proper vaccinated versus unvaccinated study is unethical. That's why we're in this mess. That's why we have an autism and chronic disease epidemic in this country.
[00:05:52] Unknown:
So Toby Rogers obviously read write about all that and made some excellent points there. I mean, when you hear when you hear the words placebo, randomized controlled trial, you're thinking, okay. Well, the the control group didn't get whatever is being tested. That's kind of the whole point. Right? But, no, that's not the case at all. And very importantly, he specifically pointed out you can be in the control group and get pumped full of aluminum adjuvants. And that that will be very important to what we're gonna talk about here in a few minutes. So let's take another look here.
He just did he had a short post talking about, Claire Craigpath and Tim Calley just produced a very impressive new paper on autism causation where they advanced the capacity load trigger theory, which basically it takes all three to cause autism. Their paper is linked below, and here are my minor edits. Number one, capacity equals genetic tolerance or lack thereof, MTHFR, DHFR, FOLR1 variance plus underlying mitochondrial issues plus health of the body's existing detoxification pathways. Number two, load existing levels of toxicants in mom and the baby, synthetic folate, pesticide fire retardant fire retardants, endocrine disruptors, metals, pharmaceuticals, and the body's current responses to these toxicants, including autoantibodies, ear infections, eczema, colds, flu, etcetera, and trigger acute immune or metabolic insults, such as vaccines, infection, fever, acute toxic exposures.
My additional thoughts about the political economy of all this, one could survive one and two, the capacity and the, you know, the genetic and the existing levels of toxicants if it were not for the relentless assaults of the CDC's pregnancy and childhood vaccine schedules. But given the power of the pharmaceutical industry, CLT is is most likely CLT, that's capacity load trigger theory. He goes on, let's see. CLT is most likely to produce policy changes related to one and two or to one, the capacity, MTHFR, and a bit of two while policymakers try to ignore three, I e, the trigger, the vaccines being the main one.
The power is in our hands by not by just not vaccinate in the first place, which would reduce autism rates up to by up to eighty eight percent. Yeah. I would I I think that's conservative. I mean, you there are a lot of other existing factors. And because, obviously, lots of mothers have been heavily vaccinated and there there are those other, you know, toxicants, other issues out there. But I you know, you give it, like, like, two generations, autism would be gone. It just people stop vaccinating, autism's gone in in two generations and would drop precipitously right away.
And he goes on, I would just add, I doubt autism is solely related to folate metabolism, but, CLT gets us much closer to a comprehensive response to the epidemic. Alright. And one of the first comments there is from, j b handley, another great, substacker, and he says, fantastic. The focus is on toxic insults where it belongs. Alright. Yes. The toxic insults. And not meaning toxic from a woke perspective there. Literal toxic insults to the to the body. And, this article here, Florida's autism rate set to plummet. That's from the aforementioned JB Handley, kind of the inspiration for the title of this episode.
And he goes on to say, the news coming out of Florida today is a bombshell for vaccine pushers. Florida's governor said he'll be asking the state legislature to repeal a statute that requires children to receive vaccines for polio, diphtheria, measles, and mumps before entering school. If it passes, Florida will be the first in the nation to eliminate all vaccine mandates for children and and adults. Other vaccines, including those for chickenpox, hepatitis b, and strep infections are mandated by the state health department as opposed to Florida's legislature. The state surgeon general, Joseph Latipo, said his department will soon issue rules repealing those requirements too. People have a right to make their own decisions, said Latipo, who joined governor Ron DeSantis for the announcement on Wednesday. If you don't wanna put whatever vaccines in your body, god bless you, and I hope you make an informed decision.
And that's how it should be. So it's got the, implications. People like me and, as an aside, me, are always labeled anti vaccine. What I actually believe is very simple. I believe the risk reward for childhood hypervaccination has never been accurately measured, meaning that while the benefits of vaccines have been shouted from the rooftops, the risks of vaccines have been systematically and purposefully obscured. Florida changes all that because the number of fully unvaccinated children in the state is likely to skyrocket. And if our community is right, the autism rate will in turn, plummet. Before Florida, it's been very challenging to evaluate unvaccinated children because there are so few of them, and yet the studies that have looked have generally found very disturbing results.
Unvaccinated kids are much healthier according to seven studies that have been published in the scientific literature. Anyone in the scientific community knows that getting a study published that portrays vaccines in a negative light is nearly impossible, which means these studies likely represent a tip of a the tip of an iceberg. The first study that compared children who received a vaccine with children that didn't was published in February. Although autism wasn't something the study considered, it was still revealing. Titled effects of diphtheria tetanus pertussis or tetanus vaccination on allergies and allergy related respiratory symptoms among children and adolescents in The United States. This study from the UCLA School of Public Health did look specifically at the DTP vaccine to see if it might be responsible for allergies and allergy related symptoms, such as asthma. Looking at more than 13,000 children, the study found that DTP or tetanus vaccination in US children is associated with a lifetime history of asthma or other allergy allergies and allergy related symptoms.
Assuming that the estimated vaccination effect is unbiased, fifty percent of diagnosed asthma cases, two point nine three million, in US children and adolescents would be prevented if the DTP or tetanus vaccine was not administered. So the first study to ever compare a group that received a vaccine with a group that hadn't, found a dramatic difference in rates of asthma and allergies among the vaccinated group. So much so, they thought that not getting the DTP vaccine, specifically just that one vaccine, might reduce cases of asthma by fifty percent. Note that many children with autism suffer from what are known as comorbid conditions such as asthma, allergies, and other autoimmune conditions.
In In 02/2008, in the second study ever to look at a group of children who didn't receive a vaccine, public health researchers Carolyn Gallagher and Melody Goodman from the SUNY, SUNY, Stony Brook looked at the possible relationship between the hepatitis b vaccine and special education. Children who received the full series of hepatitis b vaccines, three separate vaccines, the first one given on day one of life, were more likely to end up in special education classes than children who didn't receive any hepatitis vaccines? So that was the question.
It was published in the journal Toxicological and Environmental Chemistry, and the results were pretty clear. The full series of hepatitis b led to a ninefold greater likelihood of receiving special education. Not great. Alright. So it's got a a link to the study there. And boys vaccinated as neonates had threefold greater odds for autism diagnosis compared to boys never vaccinated or vaccinated after the first month of life. Okay. So, this was from the same researchers that looked at hepatitis B vaccination of male neonates and autism diagnosis.
So, a threefold greater increase there just with that considering that one vaccine. Journalist David Kirby appreciated the significance of the new findings, writing in the Huffington Post. Post. The study will be among the first university based population studies to suggest an association between a vaccine and an increased risk for autism. That would be in direct contradiction to all those MMR and thimerosal studies that purportedly found no such thing. The two Goodman and Gallagher articles about the hepatitis b, raise many concerns. I've met pediatricians who feel that the hepatitis b vaccine specifically has triggered the epidemic of neurological disorders and autoimmunity we now see in our children.
Hepatitis b was the first vaccine introduced after congress indemnified vaccine makers from liability in 1986. The vaccine is a high dose of aluminum, which I believe is the primary cause of autism and it's often given to babies on day one of life, which many immunologists feel is a huge mistake. These two studies raise major concerns, but I'm guessing you never knew either of these studies existed, which supports my point about scientists and PR firms. In 2017, however, something amazing happened. Two separate studies compared vaccinated and completely unvaccinated children actually got published. Unlike the Goodman and Gallagher studies above, which only explored a single vaccine, the rest of a child's vaccine status was simply not considered.
These two new studies met the gold standard. They found children who had never received any vaccines and looked at their health outcomes in a variety of ways. The public health researchers from Jackson State University originally plan to publish a single study until they looked at the data on children born, prematurely, noting that the data on the difference in health outcomes for vaccinated versus unvaccinated premature infants was so dramatic it deserved its own study. Published in the Journal of Translational Science, the first groundbreaking study was called pilot comparative study on the health of vaccinated and unvaccinated six to twelve year old US children, and its results were so devastating to The US vaccine program that there wasn't a single media outlet in the country that covered its release.
The results of comparing vaccinated children to completely unvaccinated children were no surprise to me, my wife, or any of the autism parents I know but perhaps would surprise others. So I looked at just a a whole variety of well, the vaccinated were less likely than the unvaccinated to have been diagnosed with with chickenpox and pertussis, but more likely to okay. So so the less the less diagnosis, and we've talked about that scan before, of chickenpox and pertussis. You have the exact same symptoms. And if you're vaccinated, they don't call it chickenpox and pertussis. And if you're unvaccinated, they call it chickenpox and pertussis, but side issue there.
But more likely to have been diagnosed with pneumonia, otitis media, allergies, and neurodevelopmental disorders, just a little more significant than chickenpox. After adjustment, vaccination, male, gender, and preterm birth remains significantly associated with neurodevelopmental disorders. Specifically, vaccinated children were found to have a fourfold higher likelihood of having autism. I'm reminded of a quote by doctor Daniel Neids of the Cleveland Clinic who wondered if we were making trade offs that aren't worth it. He said some of the vaccines have helped reduce the incidence of childhood communicable diseases like chickenpox and pertussis, but not at the expense of neurological diseases like autism and any ADHD increasing at alarming rates. Simultaneously, the Jackson State authors published a study in the same journal just looking at children born prematurely, titled Preterm Birth, Vaccination, and Neurodevelopmental Disorders, a Cross Sectional Study of six-twelve Year Old Vaccinated and Unvaccinated Children. The results were disturbing as the researchers found children born prematurely and vaccinated were 14 more likely to develop a neurodevelopmental disorder that authors were appropriately concerned. Preterm birth coupled with vaccination, however, was associated with a synergistic increase in the odds of neurodevelopmental disorders, suggesting the possibility that vaccination could precipitate adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes in preterm infants. The results provide clues to the epidemiology and causation of neurodevelopmental disorders but question the safety of current vaccination programs for preterm infants.
In 2020, doctor Brian Hooker hey, doctor Brian Hooker of Children's Health Defense there, and Neil Miller took the study of unvaccinated children to a new level by looking at actual data from a pediatrician's office who had a large number of unvaccinated patients. The study, analysis of health outcomes in vaccinated and unvaccinated children, developmental delays, asthma, ear infections, and gastrointestinal disorders concluded exactly what by now is a pretty familiar refrain. Vaccination before one year of age was associated with increased odds of developmental delays, ninety five percent higher, asthma, ear infections.
In a quartile analysis, subjects were grouped by number of vaccine doses received in the first year of life. Higher odds ratios were observed in quartiles three and four, where more vaccine doses were received for all four health conditions considered as compared to quartile one. In the temporal analysis, developmental delays showed a linear increase as the age cutoffs increased from six to 12 to 18 to 24 of age. Slightly higher, let's see, ORs were observed for all four health conditions when time permitted for a diagnosis was extended from greater than three years of age to greater than five years of age. Conclusion in this study, which only allowed for the calculation of unadjusted observational associations, higher ORs.
So ORs. What was ORs? So many acronyms. Alright. Well, you probably are telling me what the ORs was. We're we're gonna move on. Were observed within the vaccinated versus unvaccinated group for development to delays asthma and ear infections. Further study is necessary to understand the full spectrum of health effects associated with childhood vaccination. Alright. So same story goes on a little bit, but that is nothing compared to the epic magnum opus, which we'll cover here shortly. We'll we will take a little detour, though. I did want to, talk about something besides autism and vaccines in this episode.
So this was emailed to me, from Caleb, longtime listener of Revelation Radio News, and and has has come on over to the the No Pill podcast. Appreciate having Caleb listening. And he sent me a a NASA balloon story. So this is out of Texas. And we'll just we'll read the story, and I'll I'll try to reserve commentary till the end. She saw a car sized text car sized object above a Texas farm and found a wayward hunk of NASA equipment. Alright. This is from, physics phys.org, phys, like physics dot org. When Ann Walter looked outside her rural West Texas home, she didn't know what to make of the bulky objects slowly drifting across the sky. She was even more surprised to see what actually landed in her neighbor's wheat field, a boxy piece of scientific equipment about the size of a sport utility vehicle attached to a massive parachute adorned with NASA stickers. She called the local sheriff's office and learned that NASA indeed was looking for a piece of equipment that had gone lost. It's crazy because when you're standing on the ground and see something in the air, you don't really realize how big it is, she said. It was probably a 30 foot parachute. It was huge.
Walter said she soon got a call from NASA's Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility, which launches large, unmanned, high altitude research balloons more than 20 miles into the atmosphere to conduct scientific experiments. Officials at NASA, which is impacted by the ongoing government shutdown, did not return oh, it's oh, poor NASA. Did not return messages Thursday. A message left with the balloon facility also was not immediately returned. A launch schedule on the balloon facility's website shows a series of launches from Fort Sumner, New Mexico, which is about a 140 miles west of where the equipment landed.
Hale County sheriff David Cochran confirmed that NASA officials called his office last week in search of the equipment. Walter said she immediately spoke with someone at the balloon facility who told her it had been launched a day earlier, which I don't know. That's the timeline doesn't really match up there. Okay. So the sheriff said they called his office last week, and then she ultimately spoke who said it would it had only been launched a day earlier. Okay. Uses telescopes to gather information about stars, galaxies, and black holes. Oh, yes. Yes. Because from, however many how many miles did they say would be up? Let's see.
I don't know. Let's a couple miles up. I mean, not that high. You're you're gonna get information about black holes better from a couple miles up on a balloon than you can get from, from Earth. That's a that's a likely story there. Alright. Researchers came out with a truck and trailer than they used to pick it up, but not before Walter and her family who live in Edmonton, Texas were able to capture some photos and videos. It's kinda surreal it happened to us, and I was a part of it, she said. It was a very cool experience. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So it's they love their aluminum foil there.
Got some communications equipment on it. I don't know if this is exactly a Saddlelune, but I'm not exactly sure where the looking into deep outer space to study black holes equipment is on this, this piece of junk here. So then I'll throw the picture in the the show notes too. It's a good idea. So thank you, Caleb. Always gotta keep an eye out on the the saloons and and weird all this stuff. You know? That's NASA uses more helium than any organization on on Earth, but but everything everything's fine. It's, you know, it's all about rockets and deep space travel and landing on meteorites and scooping stuff up and bringing it back, landing perfectly. So we we we lose track of an object, that was launched in New Mexico, and they have to call the sheriff's department and have people report where it where it landed in Texas.
But they could totally track stuff millions of miles away and get, you know, get information back from that and put out, you know, animation and pictures and everything else. Okay. It's, it it it all makes sense. Alright. And a little the comedy segment from from NASA there and back into the main the main idea of tonight's episode. So this is another JB Handley, and this this one, I mean, it it truly is huge. I I was gonna try to read the whole thing. I would not make it through. So I I'm gonna read some of it, but please do actually go to the the show notes. It's, a hoffman.substack.com, and it'll say episode 20 show notes.
And this story is aluminum it's under the link that says aluminum adjuvant is the primary cause of the autism epidemic by JB Handley. So he he kind of explains where all this stuff comes from. It goes all the way back to 02/2004. So the idea that, you know, oh, this has all been studied and looked at, it just it it's total lies. This stuff has been looked at, and when it gets looked at, there's a link to autism, vaccines and autism. And this specifically covers the aluminum link to autism. And we've we've talked previously about how the adjuvant is the vaccine.
The adjuvant is what gets the antibody response and for them to say, look. Vaccine working. There's no like, the the supposed dead virus in there or, you know, those type of vaccines, they don't work without an adjuvant. And there's a there's excuses for that, but the reality is the thing that gets a measurable body response that they claim is vaccine vaccine working is the adjuvant, which is usually aluminum. And, he talks about it later in the article. The only thing they've ever looked at was a very limited study on mercury specifically and one vaccine, and that linked to autism. They were able to, you know, somewhat explain it away.
And like we heard back in the original Toby Rogers play, a lot of the way they explain stuff away is like, oh, look at the study. You know, the control group had just as much death and destruction as the vaccine group. Well, the if the if you're pumping someone full in the of aluminum adjuvant and they're the control group, yes, they will have just as many problems as someone in the in the vaccine group. And that's why, you know, they use the the most toxic vaccines they can find for the control group, or just, you know, pure adjuvant. So that's how the that's how the game is rigged. That's how they get the results they wanted to tell you.
And it's not you know? I wanna know whether it's you know, defining something as safe doesn't mean, like, well, just as many people died in the control group. That doesn't mean it's safe. Right? That means you rigged the study. Safe means, yeah, nobody died. It's safe. There's no ill effects from this this product, this medical intervention. And effective would mean it actually prevents what you're trying to prevent by vaccinating. And, you know, obviously, neither of those, ever happen with any vaccine. Alright. So one interesting section, he says, why is aluminum in vaccines at all?
Aluminum is a critical component of most vaccines given to children. It serves as an adjuvant, meaning the aluminum serves to wake up the immune system, provoking the immune system to recognize the antigen within the recognize the antigen within the vaccine for whatever disease the vaccine serves to protect against. The amount of aluminum of vaccines given to children skyrocketed beginning in the early 1990s for two reasons. One, more vaccines were added to the children's vaccine schedule. And two, the vaccination rate for all vaccines given to children rose from fifty to sixty percent of children vaccinated in the mid nineteen eighties to over ninety percent today. Today. A child in the mid eighties would have received 1,250 micrograms of aluminum from their vaccines by their 18 birthday if they were fully vaccinated.
Today, that number is four thousand nine hundred and twenty five micrograms, a near quadrupling of total aluminum. You can read more about this in an excellent study published by Neil Miller. Here's an image from the study. It shows age specific and cumulative aluminum exposure by 18 of age. Yes. So 18, 4,925. So we've quadrupled the amount from the eighties to to today. And, you know, autism has gone shooting up, but, yeah, just total coincidence. I'm I'm sure it's a coincidence. It's gotta be genetic, because, you know, the human genome, it probably changed drastically over the the last last thirty years.
It can't be four time four x ing the aluminum. Mystifyingly, aluminum has never experienced biological testing to consider it safety for being injected into babies, having been grandfathered into our modern safety standards. Canadian scientists, doctor Chris Shaw and doctor, Lucia Tomlih Tomlihanovich addressed this omission in a critical study they published in 02/2011, fourteen years ago, in current medicinal chemistry titled aluminum vaccine adjuvants. Are they safe? And, I just sent an excerpt from that article. Aluminum is an experimentally demonstrated neurotoxin in the most commonly used vaccine adjuvant.
Despite almost ninety years of widespread use of aluminum adjuvants, medical sciences' understanding about their mechanisms of action is still remarkably poor. There's also a concerning scarcity of data on toxicology and pharmo, pharmacokinetics of these compounds. In spite of this, the notion that aluminum in vaccines is safe appears to be widely accepted. Experimental research, however, clearly shows that aluminum adjuvants have a potential to induce serious immunological disorders in humans. In particular, aluminum in adjuvant form carries a risk for autoimmunity, long term brain inflammation, and associated neurological complications, and may have may thus have profound and widespread adverse health consequences.
I can that is, I'm a blanket on his name, but, decided to test the CDC and NIH's ability to produce any studies to show the safety of vaccine adjuvant through a FOIA lawsuit. But now I'm guessing you know how that ended, but you can read the whole article here. In summary, CDC and NIH's response to ICANN's Freedom of Information Act, regarding aluminum adjuvant to reveal a stunning admission. They do not have a single study to support the safety of recommending repeated injection of the cyto and neurotoxic substance as part of the CDC's childhood vaccine set schedule.
Alright. And this he talks about, doctor Paul Patterson, who passed away in 2014, but did study back in 2004 that was very crucial to kind of this whole line of of research there. And then also mentions the website vaccine papers. I'll have a link to that as well. Very good website. Lots of, you know, the studies that that have been done. And then, the the keeper of the website's kind of interpretation and and opinions on that. Alright. So discovery number one, maternal immune activation can cause autism. While doctor Patterson's passing wasn't something I was aware of at the time, it was certainly recognized by the scientific community of which his obituary from Caltech explains in great detail.
Doctor Patterson's research focused on interactions between the nervous and immune systems, a connection that was not universally acknowledged in the early days of neuroscience, explains his obituary. He became intrigued by epidemiological studies that had linked a severe viral or bacterial infection during pregnancy with the increased risk of a of a woman giving birth to a child with a neurodevelopmental disorder, such as schizophrenia or autism. Patterson and his coworkers reproduce this human effect in mice using a viral mimic that triggers an infection like immune response in the mother producing in the offspring the core behavioral symptoms associated with the autism and schizophrenia.
It's got a link to his paper there. And a quote from that article, as we learn more about the connections between the brain and the immune system, we find that these seemingly independent networks of cells are, in fact, continually talking to each other. As an adult, the activation of your immune system causes many striking changes in your behavior, increased sleep, loss of appetite, less social interaction, and, of course, headaches. Conversely, stress in your life as perceived by your brain can influence immune function. The brain regulates immune organs such as the the spleen via the atomic nervous system. Recent evidence shows that this brain immune conversation actually starts during the development of the embryo where the state of the mother's immune system can alter the growth of cells in the fetal brain.
As we shall see, such alterations can lead to an increased risk of schizophrenia or autism in the offspring. Are you with me so far? Basically, what doctor Patterson is saying is that if her pregnant mother gets sick, virus bacteria will present while pregnant, in event that activates her immune system, that activation can impact the neurodevelopment develop it can impact the neurodevelopment, how exactly the brain is constructed, of her fetus, potentially leading to neurological problems after birth. Doctor Patterson took this explanation a step further, explaining that the brains of people with autism reflect the immune system activation that took place even decades later as he cites valuable work being done at Johns Hopkins.
There's also striking evidence of immune dysregulation in the brain itself. K. So they looked at people after they died, patients with autism between eight and 44 years old, and they found inflammation in their brains, but that wasn't the cause of death. So they died of drowning, heart attacks, whatever they had died of. But in all the deceased autism patients, they found the same brain inflammation, amazing increases of certain cytokines in the brain and of others in the cerebrospinal fluid. This is a landmark paper. In my opinion, it presents the first evidence that there's an ongoing permanent immune system activation in the brains of autistic people. It's a subclinical state because there's no overt infection, but it's there. Alright. So then another study linking immune activation from cytokine interleukin six.
So more specifics on what's going on there. So in I mean, this goes on and on and on. So it you know, despite the sound bites, despite the quick and he he goes into some of those. Well, Paul Offit, you know, here's what Paul Offit says. Well, you know, look. These people's these poor kids' brains are all messed up, and that can't happen, you know, because of a vaccine. It's gotta be something that's genetic. Well, no. That's that's just a a faulty, faulty premise. It's just an assumption. It's not even an argument. And he he goes through the reasons for that. So the the way they've done it is the aluminum safety studies that they considered, they considered different types of aluminum.
So they considered, like, aluminum salts and, stuff that you would ingest. Right? So not great, but your body doesn't absorb all of it. It eliminates most of it through, you know, feces and and urine, and it's not that damaging long term. Well, the version of aluminum that gets put into vaccines as an adjuvant is this nanoparticle aluminum, and it gets into the immune system, specifically, macrophages. And the macrophages then carry the aluminum all around your body, including, importantly in the case of autism, to your brain. So it builds up in your brain. That's why you have ongoing inflammation constantly. And you look at a look at a kid with the autism, one very common thing, they want, like, just slam their head into stuff.
And it's they you know, if this thesis is correct and it's very convincing, I'm just I'm covering, like, 5% of the the evidence that's in here. You know, they're dealing with an ongoing, never ending inflammation of the of their brain. And that's you know, there's swelling. There's all sorts of stuff going on, and it it's torturous. And it you know, you man. Also, all all this so that big pharma can keep, you know, keep making money? Is that what it's not really about money. It's about eugenics. It's about making people sick, making people lifelong, patients of the system.
And it's, you know, at at some demonic level, it's all intentional. I don't think it's at the Paul Offit level, necessarily, it's all intentional. But at the at the spiritual level, this is it's an attack on people. So, another discovery, aluminum can increase interleukin six in the brain. And let's see. Man, this whole thing is so good. So a very, very good chart showing brain development. This is why Paul Offit's already or I think I said Paul Offit, which he was talked about, but I think, let's see, doctor Hotez is the one I was thinking of. So Hotez, he's, you know, he's got a kid with autism too, but it can't be the vaccines. It's gotta be genetics and what have you. Well, brain development is ongoing after birth. So it's you don't have a fully developed brain when you're born.
It's just a it's a bogus argument. There's specific types, Apoptosis, Synaptogenesis, Gliogenesis, myelination. Okay. These are all brain development stages that are happening. They're concurrent. They're going on at the same time. But they're going on well into adolescence and even, you know, to adult to adulthood. I mean, that's what they the old joke about the the teenage boy's brain isn't fully developed yet. Well, there's there's truth to that. And so, therefore, you can't assume that if the brain's messed up, that it doesn't have anything to do with what's happened to the person during their childhood, especially, you know, as an as an infant, as a small child, what have you. So there's also stuff about the connection to the gut, which is has has been talked about quite a bit, autism and and gut issues and why those are connected.
But all this so these studies all from all over the world, but other than the original one that's talked about, 02/2004, Caltech, all foreign. Big Pharma controls the research of American universities at such a high level through the government, through grants, through the whole Fauci system that none of this actual research, the actual good science, is coming from America. I mean, it's crazy. We got some good bloggers, though. So Toby Rogers and and JB Handley. But, but as far as published research, no. It's all getting published overseas.
So I can't recommend it enough. I mean, it's you get a few different charts here. You've got aluminum adjuvants in vaccines, times genetic susceptibility equal equals microglia activation, which leads to neuroinflammation, autophagy impairment, which leads to defective synaptic pruning, and which leads to excessive dendritic spines, which are observed in autism spectrum disorder. So you that's one perspective of if you're looking at the actual, like, brain growth happening, that's what's that's where the damage is happening. So he talks about his own kid and watching, you know, stuff get worse every vaccine appointment. Interestingly, the whole, will we just need to do a smaller dose and spread them out? No. It's in some ways, that's actually worse because the the aluminum, if it's if you pump the child, like, with a whole bunch of vaccines at once, usually the body is going to react by walling off the rest of the body to, you know, to the poison that's being pumped into it. It recognizes it, walls it off, so you get, like, the really sore shoulder. You get some maybe even, you know, redness, swelling going on at the injection site, but it mainly stays there.
With the low dose, that's when it it gets in, gets transported throughout the body and ends up building up in your brain causing all sorts of problems. So, anyway, excellent article. And, like, yes. It's the the studies are not being done in The US, but the studies are being done. This is all it's all proven stuff. I mean, you cannot read this whole thing and just say, oh, well, you know, we gotta do more. We gotta do donate to Autism Speaks. We gotta figure this thing out. I mean, come on. So, anyway, let me let me skip down to, implications.
So he the author says so JB Handley says, I wanna know what exactly happened to my son. When he was diagnosed with autism in 02/2004, the prevailing understanding of autism in the parent community was that it was growing exponentially. Many parents were seeing changes after vaccine appointments and that mercury or a live virus, like measles, were the most likely causes. We had no biological science. The understanding of aluminum or the aluminum adjuvant was comically simplistic, almost a throwaway point. We had no idea what an immune activation event, a cytokine, or interleukin-six meant. In fact, if you want a good laugh, see how doctor Paul Offit is still describing aluminum adjuvant, despite its now proven extreme neurotoxicity.
He states, Parents can be reassured that the trace quantities of aluminum in vaccines can't possibly do harm. Based on published science beginning in 02/2009, this is an unsupportable lie. Everything you have read so far is based on published science. The grand theory of autism causation, in my opinion, holds together pretty strongly. Will we look back one day and say that aluminum adjuvant caused the autism epidemic the way we say that thalidomide triggered birth defects? I think we will, but that's just my opinion. So he goes, he's got some letters in here where they, were writing to this is these are foreign doctors that published some of these studies.
Recently, scientists from The US, Canada, France, and Israel are all standing the alarm about the aluminum adjuvant used in vaccines. And they sent it to the, you know, FDA, CDC, all that stuff with the exact impact, that you would expect. So it's got those those letters posted. So well worth reading. Take some time. Read through it. I mean, especially I mean, don't we all know somebody with autism at this point? The part of the importance of this is if if aluminum is the main, environmental driver and aluminum in the brain, then, you know, let's figure out how to get some of that aluminum out of your system in a in a safe way that, can get get some relief to these these kids and these adults now with autism.
So, anyway, I hope you enjoyed that. A little personal update. So I'm sorry it's been been a while since doing the show. Just the the never ending, story with with me tends to be, car issues, which which fully came to a head, basically. Car we bought in, it was earlier this year, after my wife was in a, you know, car car wreck that totaled the car. So we bought a Ford Explorer from a shady used car car lot. Nothing but problems constantly. I mean, it's it's been in and out of the shop. Finally, the place we took it to is like, I'll just, you know, take it to the dealership. They'll be able to figure it out. Took it to the dealership. They're like, oh, well, you probably need a new engine for $10,000. Like, okay.
Well, that's not gonna happen. So, anyway, we we got a new vehicle, with the car loan, unfortunately. Never I know Dave Ramsey would not be happy, but it is a a fairly new vehicle with, you know, like, 33,000 miles on it or 35,000 miles or something, not a 140. So we're hoping to get a nice long use out of it without a a ton of issues. So, prayers along along that line are appreciated. Yeah. It was that was not a good experience. So I was gonna do a show last week, and that's what I was was doing. We were retrieving the car for the last time and taking it to another, retrieving the car for the last time and taking it to another dealership and trading it in for for a Hyundai. We got a a Hyundai. So I've I've had better luck in the past with Hyundai. So it says Hyundai Santa Fe.
So, anyway, we're we're happy with that. Also, my wife's still having some health issues, so prayers about that would great greatly be appreciated and, just that we kinda figure out what is going on there. Got some ideas, but but just kinda trying to figure that out. And, and, also, we are kinda in the process of, potentially moving from one church to another, which is never an easy thing to do. And then it's you know? I mean, there's you don't wanna move just to move, but at the same time, you don't wanna stay in a church that you you just really don't feel that you should be at anymore.
So, you know, please pray for pray for us in that that process as well. So, really appreciate everyone listening. If you get a chance to to shoot me an email or what have you, I'd love to hear from you. And, again, thanks so much for listening. And, hopefully, this time, I really will do another episode here sooner rather than later. Thanks so much.
