Dr. William Shaw's lab found that 60 to 70% of people with autism had overgrowth of Clostridia and Candida in their intestines, organisms that antibiotics leave behind while killing beneficial bacteria. Treatment would clear the overgrowth and symptoms would improve, sometimes dramatically. Then treatment stopped, and the autism returned along with the Candida. The question was why the body wasn't maintaining the clearance on its own. A German study provided a striking piece of the answer: the measles vaccine was found to knock out children's immunity specifically to Candida, and only to Candida, leaving every other immune function intact. The implications reach beyond autism. The same Clostridia and Candida pattern showed up across psychiatric diagnoses, and Dr. Shaw's lab documented complete reversal of severe schizophrenia using an antibiotic targeted at the bacterial overgrowth.

@VoicesUnheard @RepThomasMassie @chelliepingree I agree completely. If these products are safe, why do they require legal immunity?

And repeal the Vaccine Protection Act of 1986 as well! It is unacceptable for any drug to be legally protected when we, the citizens, have to pay for the damages caused by the drug companies. Moreover, thank you for being one of the few representatives in Congress that stands up for us!

I spoke in front of the Supreme Court to oppose a case that would give legal immunity to pesticides. And this evening I cosponsored an amendment with @chelliepingree to strip similar immunity from the Farm Bill. My PRIME Act is in the Farm Bill, so I’m trying to clean it up.

@incognytoe @Savsays 🔥

@Savsays I got you. Call Brian Harpole. I think he's available.

I do want to thank TPUSA for how incredibly responsive and supportive they’ve been since Saturday. Every single high level executive at TPUSA (including Erika) has reached out to me and ensured that every single aspect of this assault is taken care of. I’ve never asked for security when conducting point-and-shoot journalism, because I’ve always had some semblance of hope that I still live in a safe country. However, after Saturday TPUSA ensured that I will have new security protocols moving forward due to the violent nature of the left-wing. Thank you to everyone who has supported me as well and reached out these last few days. I appreciate y’all and could not be more grateful.

@delbigtree @SharylAttkisson @AaronSiriSG Can anyone recommend a vaccine expert to counsel a vaccine – hesitant father trying to protect his 11 month old daughter?

Most people think FOIA requests are for journalists chasing scandals. Here's what we used them for. The CDC's own website says it in black and white: "Vaccines do not cause autism." Mountains of science, they said. The evidence is settled, they said. So @AaronSiriSG did something simple. He said let's FOIA for the things I'm pretty sure they don't actually have. We asked the CDC to provide every trial they relied upon to establish that the first six vaccines given in the first six months of life do not cause autism. A year and a half of litigation (and a fortune in legal fees.) And they finally came into court and said they have no such trials. Not one for any of the six vaccines we asked about. The mountain of science doesn't exist. It never did. And here is the part that I think about most. I understand why this is hard to accept. You are busy. You are not a medical student. You just want to be able to hand your baby to a doctor and trust that someone has done their homework. That is a completely reasonable thing to want. That is exactly how they got away with it for so long. We trusted and we never asked. And the moment someone finally asked, in a court of law, with the full weight of the legal system behind the question, the answer was silence. A house of cards held up by the one thing they never expected: someone checking. Start by watching "An Inconvenient Study." Then ask your own questions.

It is really worth that dopamine hit? If you are nasty, attack with ad hominems and use smear tactics for kicks and giggles - as well as use racist slurs - guess what, you are going to get blocked by the people you are targetting. And that means - people who have important things to say, who also don't tolerate being harassed, will no longer be available for you to read. That includes big name accounts.

Tell me you haven’t read a vaccine insert without telling me… Case in point: a reporter from a major news outlet called to interview me and at one point she said, “but with the measles you can get brain inflammation…” Anyone who has read a vaccine insert knows that encephalitis, aka brain inflammation, is listed clear as day as a side effect. In fact, many experts believe that exact side effect is one of the contributing factors to developing autism. These are the kinds of conversations that we all need to be having. Our society has been brainwashed from big pharma by way of legacy media to condition us to believe that vaccinating is the “right” way, and not vaccinating is for the unintelligent, selfish, bottom feeders of society. WRONG. If you have fallen victim to this way of thinking, you’ve been fooled. I have nothing against anyone who chooses to vaccinate, that’s free choice. But I do believe that’s an inferior method of developing immunity.

No medical school in the world is teaching this. So no matter how many degrees they have or how smart they think they are, every doctor in the conventional system starts from the same false premise: that you are a bag of illness, that your life is always at risk, and that they are the ones keeping you alive. That is not the truth about the human body. God has been choreographing a delicate dance since the dawn of man. There are millions of bacteria and viruses on your hands right now as you sit there. Millions. And in all of human history, not one of them has risen up and wiped us out. Not one. Because the body knows what it is doing. And yet somehow we decided we were smart enough to eliminate 17 of those viruses from existence, and while we were at it we would inject aluminum, mercury, polysorbate 80, fatty lipids, mRNA, and God knows what else directly into the bloodstreams of our children. And we would wear masks. And we would do all of this on the advice of the most educated people in the room. Who told you that you needed any of this? The same people who never once stopped to ask whether the most sophisticated biological system ever created might already know something they don't.

🚨Today is the day the ACIP charter comes up for renewal. @ICANdecide submitted proposed amendments to Secretary Kennedy, and he has the authority to implement them right now. @AaronSiriSG lays out why this matters. By the time any product reaches ACIP, the manufacturer already has liability immunity and stands to make billions. The committee is supposed to be the last independent check before a vaccine is recommended for universal use in every child in America. It should be the most skeptical body in the entire process. @delbigtree described what those meetings used to look like. It was a room full of pharmaceutical industry representatives, watching what he called a dog and pony show, waiting for the announcement that their product was going to make them a billion dollars. For the first time in ACIP's history, that changed. The current committee members were actually asking hard questions and evaluating these products with real scrutiny. Whatever criticisms existed about them, Siri says, you cannot call them zealots who aren't genuinely trying to do their job. The recent court ruling undid exactly that. Today, Secretary Kennedy has the opportunity to respond. The ICAN information is here: bit.ly/Amend_ACIP_Cha…

You know what really breaks up families? When a child gets severely ill with a vaccine preventable illness and one partner says to the other "I wanted to follow the science and get our child vaccinated but you listened to CHD who said that vaccines don't work and the disease is no big deal"

Vaccine injury doesn’t just hurt the child. It breaks marriages, bankrupts families, turns relatives against you (“it’s not the shot!”), & leaves us mentally wrecked. We can’t go out. We’re single parents forever. This is the hidden pain no one talks about. 💔 @BrianHookerPhD

@HouseLyndseyRN @CHDTVLive @BrianHookerPhD I’m sorry to learn this… ❤️‍🩹

@CHDTVLive @BrianHookerPhD my marriage was dissolved due to my vax injury

@FogelSylvia I look forward to your transparent, in-depth inquiry. Dr. Fogel. As my son is fighting to prevent his 1 year old from the unknown effects of routine vaccination, he needs solid data on which to legally protect her. Please hurry.

I approach Jill’s perspectives from several vantage points: two decades as a practicing physician, my experience as the parent of a child with profound autism, and years of work as an autism advocate. Together, these experiences shape my commitment to careful scientific inquiry and open debate about the complex biology underlying autism. I fully resonate with Jill's assessment that autism prevalence is rising. While many smaller studies are not designed to determine how much of the increase represents a true rise versus improved recognition, several large-scale epidemiologic analyses suggest that changes in diagnostic practice and broader definitions cannot account for the full increase. At the same time, the prevalence of those with the most disabling forms of autism—sometimes termed profound autism—has doubled from 2000 to 2016 and is now estimated to represent 26% of individuals on the spectrum. These are individuals who require 24-hour care throughout their lives, and there is little evidence that most would simply have received different diagnoses in earlier eras. I also strongly agree, both as a parent and as a clinician who treats individuals with autism, that we urgently need more effective treatments. One area that deserves greater attention is the use of nimble, adaptive clinical trials—including trials of widely available repurposed medications—to help find treatments for some of the most debilitating symptoms associated with autism and/or improve underlying cellular or systems functioning. Adaptive trial designs are particularly important for a condition as heterogeneous as autism. We also share some areas of overlap, particularly an interest in prenatal biology and in the possibility that germline or early developmental factors may influence autism risk and the cytoarchitectural changes observed in the autistic brain. I would step back, however, and emphasize what most researchers would acknowledge as a fundamental truth about autism: there is unlikely to be a singular cause. Autism is almost certainly pluricausal. It is also increasingly recognized that many genetic vulnerabilities and environmental exposures converge on shared biological pathways—particularly mitochondrial function, redox balance, immune signaling, and metabolic regulation. Where I look forward to further dialogue—and where I fundamentally disagree with Jill's assertions—is around neurodevelopmental regression (NDR). We simply do not have enough data to conclude that regression is solely a pre-programmed or inevitable developmental phenomenon. Given what we now understand about underlying mitochondrial vulnerability and oxidative stress in some ASD cohorts, it is entirely plausible that certain exposures could lead to short-term immunometabolic stress that overwhelms fragile systems, triggering a cascade of disruption that the body cannot easily correct. In this scenario, key cellular processes that drive development—energy metabolism, redox balance, immune signaling, and synaptic maturation—may become persistently dysregulated. This phenomenon is well recognized in individuals with established mitochondrial disorders, where relatively minor illnesses or medical stressors—such as infection or anesthesia—can precipitate significant metabolic decompensation and loss of function. Clinicians who care for individuals with autism frequently observe this phenomenon: acute immunometabolic stressors, such as infections, can sometimes precede a regressive cascade that represents a clear and unequivocal departure from prior developmental functioning. For those interested in this perspective, I would encourage exploring the work of the Autism Innovation Coalition. My colleague Laura Cellini developed a simplified systems framework to help organize and communicate variability around vulnerability, exposures, multiple factors, and timing: the Primers–Triggers–Amplifiers (PTA) model. We adopted this framework through our work within the AIC to help organize how biological and environmental influences may interact in autism, especially during critical windows of development. In this framework, primers refer to underlying susceptibilities such as genetics, maternal immune dysregulation, or exposures that affect mitochondrial function or redox balance; triggers include events such as acute illness, metabolic stressors, or toxicant exposure that can activate biological stress responses; and amplifiers are factors such as persistent neuroinflammation, continued metabolic stress, nutrition, or microbiome disruptions that may impair recovery and reduce resilience at the systems level. Importantly, the PTA framework does not assume a single pathway into autism except for very specific circumstances. The framework allows for the possibility that later stressors may interact with underlying vulnerabilities to influence developmental trajectories in some individuals. In this way, PTA provides a systems lens that accommodates individual thresholds or resilience, multiple biological pathways and helps explain the substantial heterogeneity observed across the autism spectrum. Finally, neurodevelopmental regression itself remains significantly understudied. Roughly 30–40% of parents report some form of regression, and a 2019 review from the UC Davis MIND Institute suggests the proportion may be substantially higher. Large population-level epidemiologic studies that measure autism prevalence are simply not designed to answer questions about regression or its biological mechanisms. Even excellent epidemiologic science cannot answer questions it was never intended to address. Emerging work in systems biology also suggests a potential framework for understanding these observations. Research on mitochondrial signaling and the cell danger response (CDR) proposes that diverse genetic vulnerabilities and environmental stressors may converge on shared metabolic pathways that regulate immune signaling, redox balance, and neurodevelopment. In this framework, repeated or prolonged activation of these stress-response pathways during critical windows of early brain development could alter developmental trajectories in ways that are not yet fully understood. While much remains to be investigated, this line of research highlights the importance of studying autism through the lens of dynamic biological systems rather than assuming a single developmental pathway. One of my hopes for the IACC moving forward is to create more opportunities for focused research workshops that bring together scientists from diverse disciplines—genetics, immunology, metabolism, epidemiology, and clinical medicine—to examine these questions more deeply. Autism is a multifactorial, complex condition, and meaningful progress will require open dialogue and a willingness to explore multiple biological pathways. SELECTED REFERENCES King M, Bearman P.

I appreciate @jillescher’s thoughtful comments in her letter to the IACC on Substack. Autism is a complex, heterogeneous condition, and advancing the science will require rigorous debate, openness to multiple hypotheses, and a willingness to examine diverse biological pathways. As Chair of the IACC, I welcome that dialogue. Some reflections below.

@YannickBuccella @iluminatibot No matter what you say, anecdotal evidence is all the evidence I need if conventional methods have failed. It’s always worth trying, a person with metastatic cancer has nothing to lose.

@iluminatibot These are no clinical trials proving any evidence that this works. Especially on renal cancer we have immunotherapy treatments protocols, where people are cured even in metastatic conditions, all backed by evidence and scientific data, not just storytelling.
