The Vaccine Enigma

Since 1889, no studies prove vaccines are safe.

The original vaccine study of 1889, by Alfred R. Wallace, disclosed conclusive evidence using 45 years of government data, in a report titled, “Vaccination: proved useless and dangerous.

In the 1930s, the mercury-based preservative Thimerosal (approximately 50% mercury by weight), was added to vaccines, until it was phased out as a neurotoxin between 1999 and 2003. [Damage from Thimerosal is the reason for decades of published studies listed below].

While Mercury is now claimed to be removed, other toxins remain, and more have since been added. Since mRNA technology was phased in, the trend of ASD continues.

Additional factors also play a role in Autism Spectrum Disorder, including the addition of new toxic micro and nanometals not listed on the package insert (2017); protein-RNA condensates from mRNA vaccines (2019); the increased frequency of ultrasound use during fetal development; and possible role of Tylenol use by the mother during pregnancy.

This article shares a partial list of studies related to vaccines between 2002 and 2025.

Several studies of autism in Amish communities (who do not vaccinate) have been sidelined, which showed very low, to no cases of autism. A June 5th Congressional Record reported the findings of reporter Dan Olmsted of UPI, April 2005:

Olmsted calculated that there should be 130 autistics among the Amish. He found only four. One had been exposed to high levels of mercury from a power plant. The other three—including one child adopted from outside the Amish community—had received vaccines.

After 2014, it is rare to find online published vaccine studies concluding negative events. Fortunately, the 2025 Henry Ford study of vaccinated vs. unvaccinated children, establishes a new baseline for our time. The children studied were born between 2000 and 2016.

The Evidence

(2002) https://www.nature.com/articles/4001177

A CDC analysis of computerized HMO medical records found statistically significant associations between increased exposure to Thimerosal from infant immunizations and ADD, speech/language delay, and tics; traits characteristic of ASD.

(2002) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12145534

Over 90% of MMR antibody-positive autistic sera were also positive for MBP autoantibodies, suggesting a strong association between MMR and CNS autoimmunity in autism.

( 2003) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12933322

The mothers in the autistic group had significantly higher levels of mercury exposure through Rho D immunoglobulin injections and amalgam fillings than control mothers.

( 2006) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19043938

the differences in expression profiles between those cells treated with zinc versus thimerosal were dramatic.

Heavy metal poisoning might play a role in the etiology of autism in uniquely susceptible individuals. Determining cellular response, at the level of gene expression, has important implications for the understanding and treatment of conditions that result from exposure to neurotoxic compounds.

(2007) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17454560

Thimerosal-containing biologic/vaccine preparations during fetal/infant developmental periods, and subsequently, between 12 and 24 mo of age (previously normally developing children) suffered mercury toxic encephalopathies that manifested with clinical symptoms consistent with regressive ASDs.

(2007) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17674242

prenatal mercury exposure may play in some children with ASDs.

(2008) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19106436

the overwhelming preponderance of the evidence favours acceptance that Hg exposure is capable of causing some ASDs.

sensory dysfunction and systemic failure, manifested as autism, is the inevitable consequence arising from subtle DNA alteration and consequently from the overuse of vaccines.

(2010) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21058170

U.S. male neonates vaccinated with the hepatitis B vaccine prior to 1999 (from vaccination record) had a threefold higher risk for parental report of autism diagnosis compared to boys not vaccinated as neonates during that same time period. Nonwhite boys bore a greater risk.

The results suggest that although mercury has been removed from many vaccines, other culprits may link vaccines to autism. Further study into the relationship between vaccines and autism is warranted.

The correlation between Aluminum (Al) in vaccines and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) may be causal. Children represent a fraction of the population most at risk for complications following exposure to Al.

The purpose of this review is to examine six [CDC] publications and analyze possible reasons why their published outcomes are so different from the results of investigations by multiple independent research groups over the past 75+ years.

(2014) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25198681

the present study significantly associates organic-Hg exposure from T-HBV with an increased risk of an neurodevelopment (ND) diagnosis.

Tylenol (Acetaminophen) Fetal Exposure

Acetaminophen dates to 1878. Tylenol dates to 1955. ASD was first diagnosed in 1943.

On September 2025, a federal recommendation to pregnant woman was to stop taking Tylenol.

(2022) A Systematic Review of the Link Between Autism Spectrum Disorder and Acetaminophen: A Mystery to Resolve

This 2022 review study showed an association between acetaminophen use and known neurodevelopmental outcomes. Long-term use, increased dose, and frequency were associated with a stronger association.

At least one 2024 Swedish study suggested Tylenol is not associated with a child’s risk of autism. *Note: a possible conflict of interest disclosure involves funding from a company that produces infant solutions.

Known risks of Tylenol to human health are more subtle: liver damage (show as skin rashes), kidney damage, vomiting, and upper right abdominal pain. Acetaminophen poisoning causes 56,000 emergency room visits annually in the US.

Dangers of Ultrasound Technology

From thermal and acoustic effects to the fetus, to psychological impacts, and misinterpretation of results, the ultrasound is ultra risky. Dangers include:

  • fetal temperature increases and effects on development.

  • micro-bubble formation in tissues

  • cellular damage

An article highlighting the art and science of Homeopathy discovered that the homeopathic remedy for Ultrasound reversed several ASD symptoms in some children.

Recent Vaccine Study Data (2025)

The Lamerato et. al. 2025 study conducted by Henry Ford Health System, Detroit MI, found similar results to the 1889 Alfred Wallace study, documenting dramatic increases in chronic illness.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

This Peer-Review of the Unvaccinated vs. Vaccinated study examined 18,468 children (16,511 vaccinated with a median of 18 doses and 1,957 completely unvaccinated), born between 2000 and 2016, and found the following:

All 22 chronic disease categories were more common in vaccinated children.

Conditions which collectively form the clinical profile associated with autism spectrum disorder — including autism itself, ADHD, developmental delay, speech disorder, learning disability, neurological impairment, and related diagnoses — occurred at 5.49-fold (549%) higher odds in vaccinated children. (Sept. 9, 2025)

Childhood cancer occurred 54% more often in vaccinated children.

By age 10, 57% of vaccinated children had developed at least one chronic disease, compared to only 17% of unvaccinated children.

Proportional-incidence analysis was used because many conditions had zero or near-zero cases in the unvaccinated group — a well-known “zero-cell” problem that makes odds-ratio modeling mathematically incapable of detecting true differences. This method reveals the large disparities the original authors’ statistics hid.

Proportional increases calculated for all 22 chronic conditions:

  1. Any chronic condition: 3.50x higher (+250%)

  2. Asthma: 6.53x higher (+553%)

  3. Atopic disease: 4.86x higher (+386%)

  4. Autoimmune disease: 12.2x higher (+1120%)

  5. Brain dysfunction: Present only in vaccinated

  6. Cancer: 1.54x higher (+54%)

  7. Diabetes: Present only in vaccinated

  8. Food allergy: 2.28x higher (+128%)

  9. Mental health disorder: 7.96x higher (+696%)

  10. Neurodevelopmental disorder (umbrella): 13.54x higher (+1254%)

  11. ADHD: Present only in vaccinated

  12. Autism: 2.8x higher (+180%)

  13. Behavioral disability: Present only in vaccinated

  14. Developmental delay: 5.12x higher (+412%)

  15. Learning disability: Present only in vaccinated

  16. Intellectual disability: Present only in vaccinated

  17. Speech disorder: 9.03x higher (+803%)

  18. Motor disability: 9.1x higher (+810%)

  19. Tics: Present only in vaccinated

  20. Other psychological disability: Present only in vaccinated

  21. Neurological disorder: 1.26x higher (+26%)

  22. Seizure disorder: 3.16x higher (+216%)

For New Parents:

The current CDC childhood immunization schedule now contains at least 81 doses of vaccines by age 18 — more than four times higher than the median exposure in the Henry Ford cohort. This means that the dramatic disparities uncovered in this dataset emerge even at a fraction of the full CDC schedule.
