In the 1980s, kids received ten total vaccines by the time they turned 18. Our childhood chronic disease rate at that point was 12.8 percent. Then liability protection got taken away from vaccine manufacturers, and the entire program exploded. By the late 90s and early 2000s, kids were getting 54 separate vaccines, and when you account for multi-dose shots like DTaP given three times each, that number works out closer to 72. In that same window, childhood chronic disease went from 12.8 percent to 54 percent.

I know what people will say. That's anecdotal, that you can't just point to two numbers rising together and call it cause and effect. I agree with that criticism as far as it goes. So look at what else changed. Robert Kennedy Jr. has talked about this a lot, and the EPA has studied it too. Their own data traces the skyrocketing rate of childhood chronic illness back to around 1994. There's only a handful of things that entered our environment and our children's bodies around that time. Glyphosate, sprayed on over 90 percent of our crops. Plastics. Bisphenols. PFAS forever chemicals. The fire retardants we used to put in baby clothing and bedding that we don't use anymore. And this vaccine schedule, exploding in the same window.

It's going to be one of those things or some combination of them. Pesticides, hormones in our beef, fluoride in our water, all of it was declared safe by the FDA at some point. That means none of them are exonerated just because a regulatory agency signed off. Our own health agencies approved the chemicals in our food, our water, and our environment that are poisoning our children right now.
