Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH - Courageous Discourse Substack

Determinants of Autism (Apr 15/25)

This keynote presentation by Dr. McCullough at the Autism Health Summit in San Diego, on April 11, 2025 is dedicated to the determinants or risk factors for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Since this increasingly prevalent neuropsychiatric condition has a broad range of features and is a clinical diagnosis, it is subject to tremendous variability with respect to historical predisposing and environmental exposures. Because of this complexity, it is inappropriate to say that any single factor is the “exclusive cause” of ASD. It is better to discuss relevant determinants as risk factors. Much like we talk about coronary atherosclerosis, which also does not have a single cause.

International scientists have found autism’s cause. What will Americans do? (Sept 02/24)

“Five clear, replicable, and related discoveries explaining how autism is triggered have formed an undeniably clear picture of autism’s causation, and possibly ways to alleviate the symptoms, too.”

Note: Autism parent J.B. Handley’s powerful article lays out the most important research emerging since 2004 that conclusively proves the role of aluminum adjuvanted vaccines in the autism crisis. Expectant parents and those with babies and young children need to understand how aluminum in vaccines injected during critical phases of brain development causes inflammation and brain injuries which then culminates in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). With understanding this crucial information, parents will be able to protect their children from medical harm.

‘Autism Tsunami’ Society’s Cost to Care for Expanding, Aging Autism Population Will Hit $5.54 Trillion by 2060 (April 09/24)
A 2021 study predicting a tsunami of future autism cases and costs if environmental root causes of the disease remain unaddressed was retracted last year under pressure from the “autism industry,” and republished last month. Rising prevalence rates and lack of state services show the predicted crisis is already playing out.

1 in 36 Kids Have Autism, CDC Says — Critics Slam Agency’s Failure to Investigate Causes, by Brenda Baletti Ph.D (March 23/2023)

One in 36 (2.8%) 8-year-old children — 4% of boys and 1% of girls — have an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), based on an analysis of data from 2020, published today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 

“The latest findings, reported in the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, show an increase from the last report, which found 1 in 44 8-year-olds (2.3%) had autism in 2018. Since the CDC started collecting the data, prevalence estimates have skyrocketed from 1 in 150 in 2000, to today’s estimate of 1 in 36 children. The trend has persisted for decades. Autism prevalence in the 1990s, which was 1 in 1,000 children, already represented a tenfold increase over the condition’s estimated prevalence in the 1970s.Today’s new report from the CDC’s ADDM [Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring] Network places the latest ASD rate at 1 in 36 children born in 2012, but that’s not even the largest number out there (a recent survey using NHIS data reported a rate of 1 in 29 children in 2020).”

Autism Awareness Month: Health Officials, Media Focus on ‘Inclusivity’ Not Prevention, Experts Say By Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D (April 6/2023)

April is World Autism Month, prompting key public health figures and prominent media outlets to celebrate autistic children and focus on the importance of inclusivity. But missing from that conversation, experts say, is a discussion of how autism can be prevented.

Polly Tommey, co-producer of, Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastropheand CHD.TV programming manager, told The Defender: “Autism Speaks never addresses the core issues with the majority of children diagnosed with autism. Our children are medically sick, most often with severe gut issues, encephalitis, among a host of other critical health issues. Instead of helping parents address this, calling for real answers to address the child’s clear pain — hence thrashing heads on anything they can find, high pitch pain screams, etc., Autism Speaks constantly puts out so-called solutions to teach your child to sit, talk, walk, etc.”

“Could you learn anything living in severe pain?”

Brian Hooker, Ph.D., P.E., chief scientific officer for Children’s Health Defense, shared Tommy’s sentiment. He told The Defender: “As [Autism Speaks] officials know that vaccines cause autism and they work actively to cover up that relationship. Read more in this article:

Autism is now an INDUSTRY... (March 28/2023)

“Autism is now an INDUSTRY that has become too big to question. Pharma makes $50 billion annually from the childhood vaccine schedule, then another $10 billion from psychopharmaceuticals to 'treat' autism, but there are also billions of dollars of revenue generated from genetics research, psychological testing, support services, and applied behavioral analysis therapy amongst others. And this industry works behind the scenes to censor any discussion about root causes and costs.”

Why the Claim ‘Vaccines Don’t Cause Autism’ Is Disinformation (December 2/2022)  – 

The hypothesis that vaccinating children according to the CDC’s schedule can contribute to the development of autism in susceptible children has not been falsified.

Jeremy R. Hammond - Health Freedom

“Vaccines do not cause autism.” That is what we are continually told by government health officials, the mainstream media, and the pharma-centric medical establishment. It is the official position of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The idea that vaccines can cause autism is just misinformation spread by “anti-vaxxers”, we are told; it is a claim that has been repeatedly debunked by scientific research.

But has it?

The CDC claims on its website that “Vaccines Do Not Cause Autism.” Despite this claim, studies have found between 40% and 70% of parents with an autistic child continue to blame vaccines for their child’s autism, typically pointing to vaccines given during the first six months of life.

Denial: How Refusing To Face The Facts about Our Autism Epidemic Hurts Children, Families – And Our Future (July 24, 2017)Even as the autism rate soars and the cost to our nation climbs well into the billions, a dangerous new idea is taking hold: There simply is no autism epidemic.

 

The question is stark: Is autism ancient, a genetic variation that demands acceptance and celebration? Or is it new and disabling, triggered by something in the environment that is damaging more children every day?

 

Authors Mark Blaxill and Dan Olmsted believe autism is new, that the real rate is rising dramatically, and that those affected are injured and disabled, not merely neurodiverse.” They call the refusal to acknowledge this reality Autism Epidemic Denial. This epidemic denial blocks the urgent need to confront and stop the epidemic and endangers our kids, our country, and our future.

Evidence of Harm – Mercury in Vaccines and the Autism Epidemic: A Medical Controversy (February 6/2006) – Available on Amazon

Evidence of Harm explores the heated controversy over what many parents, physicians, public officials, and educators have called an “epidemic” of afflicted children. Following several families, David Kirby traces their struggle to understand how and why their once-healthy kids rapidly descended into silence or disturbed behavior, often accompanied by severe physical illness. 

 

Alarmed by the levels of mercury in the vaccine schedule, these families sought answers from their doctors, from science, from pharmaceutical companies that manufacture vaccines, and finally from the Center for Disease Control and the Food and Drug Administration-to no avail. But as they dug deeper, the families also found powerful allies in Congress and in the small community of physicians and researchers who believe that the rise of autism and other disorders is linked to toxic levels of mercury that accumulate in the systems of some children.

12. A Tribute to Andrew Wakefield, MB. BS

Andrew Wakefield MB.BS., is an academic gastroenterologist. He received his medical degree from St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School, London in 1981. He qualified as Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1985 and trained as a gastrointestinal surgeon with a particular interest in inflammatory bowel disease. He was awarded a Wellcome Trust Traveling Fellowship to study small-intestinal transplantation in Toronto. He was made a Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists in the U.K. in 2001. Wakefield has published over 140 original scientific papers, reviews, and book chapters. 

 

In 1995, as an academic physician working in a London teaching hospital, he was contacted by the parent of an autistic child with stomach issues. He soon learned from several other parents with autistic behaviors, that their children’s regressive behavior immediately followed an MMR vaccine.

He started investigating a possible role between gastrointestinal issues, the MMR vaccine, and neurological injury in children. In pursuit of this possible link, Dr. Wakefield participated in a study of twelve children with both stomach and developmental issues. The ensuing report, written with twelve other authors would catapult Wakefield into becoming one of the most controversial figures in the history of Medicine.

Read his full biography to learn more.  

Access the award-winning documentary, The Pathological Optimist, of which he gave film director, Miranda Bailey and her team, permission to film the life of he and his family for five years beginning in 2011. 

In 2016, Andrew Wakefield decided that to tell his story he would have to “take on the media by becoming the media”. As a result of this decision he has become an award-winning filmmaker.  

For the last 20 years I have had to watch the suffering of those affected by autism as the problem multiples year on year. what started with hope for a new understanding, new and effective treatments, and even prevention, turned to despair as special interests exploited their influence over the media to crush the science and scientists. And then, two decades and a million damaged children later, one man Dr. William Thompson - 1 CDC insider - decided to tell the truth and the embers of that early hope glow once more.

Several years ago I decided that to take on the media you had to become the media . The best medium for this story is film. Our aim with this movie was to take this complex, high-level fraud and to give it context, and wear through it the tragic street-level narratives of ordinary families affected by autism.

This film bring to the public dark and uncomfortable truth. To ignore it would be most unwise.
