Robert Malone on Vaccines and Autism

Rabbitt Malone has recently written an article on vaccines and autism: Neuroscience, Vaccines, and Autism: "What Science Actually Says and Doesn’t Say: An honest look at vaccine biology, autism research, and a hypothesis that may offer real hope for families of nonspeaking children."

He sums up the current situation:

WHERE THE QUESTION REMAINS GENUINELY OPEN

Regressive autism is different. Roughly 20 to 30 percent of autistic children appear to develop typically and then lose skills, often language and social engagement, somewhere between 12 and 24 months of age. This regression is real, documented, and poorly understood. Its timing does overlap with the vaccine schedule. And it is worth saying plainly: the parents who report watching their child change in the days and weeks following vaccination are not, as a group, confused or misremembering. Regression happens. The timing they describe is real. The unresolved scientific question is not whether the regression occurred but what caused it.

This distinction matters. For too long, the response from the medical establishment has been to challenge the parents’ account rather than to engage the mechanism. That is not good science, and it has damaged trust in ways that will take a long time to repair. The honest position is to acknowledge the reported pattern, take it seriously as an observation, and invest in the research needed to understand it.

Autistic brains, examined postmortem, show neuroinflammatory signatures, activated microglia, elevated cytokines, and white matter abnormalities [4,5]. These findings are consistent with what you might expect from microvascular injury, though they almost certainly have other explanations as well. The point is not that vaccines caused these findings, but that the brain biology of autism involves immune and vascular components that researchers are still working to understand.

We do not fully understand regressive autism. Ruling out postnatal contributions on political rather than scientific grounds would itself be a failure of honest inquiry.

The most credible narrow claim, and it is narrow, is that in a subgroup of children with underlying immune or metabolic vulnerabilities, a strong immune activation event, possibly including vaccination, could act as a trigger for neurological regression in children already on a susceptible developmental trajectory. This has not been demonstrated. It has not been ruled out.

Facilitated Communication: Another Version of Make Shit Up “Medicine”

Many people I know who got the COVID shots absolutely refuse to come to groups with the fact that US public health authorities and "experts" got almost everything wrong about Covid. Almost everything.

How could it be that someone who is highly educated to get something so completely wrong?

Here's another example from the early 1990s: "Facilitated Communication" for people who are autistic. I saw a documentary on this technique about 20 years ago and I couldn't believe what I was saying. Stuart Vyse describes it in detail in this article:

"When Silence Speaks: The Harmful Pseudoscience of Facilitated Communication: The Stubblefield case in ‘Tell Them You Love Me’ highlights the wide array of potential victims who can be harmed by promoting pseudoscientific methods of communication." Here's an excerpt:

The early results [of facilitated communication] were astonishing. People who had never spoken a complete sentence were suddenly writing poetry and novels with the assistance of their facilitators, and FC began to spread like wildfire. However, the involvement of another person in the process—the facilitator—raised obvious questions about who was really typing. Peer-reviewed studies using simple blinding techniques began to emerge, and the results were devastating.

In a typical experiment, researchers placed the non-speaking individual and the facilitator at a table with a barrier between them so that each could be shown pictures of familiar objects, but they could not see each other’s pictures. When both saw the same picture, such as a shoe, all was fine, and “s-h-o-e” was typed. However, when shown different images, the typed word invariably matched what the facilitator, not the nonspeaking person, had seen. Across hundreds of trials, there were virtually no correct responses independently made by the nonspeaking individuals. People who had supposedly been writing sophisticated essays through FC could not identify everyday objects in controlled tests, revealing that the facilitators were the actual authors of the typed messages.

Were the therapists lying when they claim that the patient was actually in charge? Not quite:

Ideomotor effects have been implicated in hypnosis, dowsing, automatic writing, and several other phenomena. Finally, these unconscious actions are reinforced by the philosophy advocated by the FC/RPM/S2C community. Decades ago, Douglas Biklen coined the slogan “presume competence.” In an effort to show respect for people with disabilities, Biklen suggested that all people should be approached with the assumption that they are intelligent and literate. While this may sound like an admirable philosophy, this assumption introduces an explicit bias.

What Public Health “Experts” Got Wrong about Covid

Justin Hart has offered an excellent annotated list. Visit his post for more detailed descriptions of what our public health experts got wrong during COVID, along with ample links. Hint: They got everything wrong. 

I’m Justin Hart — father of nine, data analyst, author of Gone Viral. I spent six years tracking COVID data professionally and ran one of the most-cited COVID data platforms during the pandemic. I’m not a crank, and this isn’t a rant. It’s an itemized bill.

The List

I’ve maintained this list for years. Every point represents something our institutions told us confidently, enforced aggressively, and got demonstrably wrong. Not “debatable.” Wrong.

Here’s the short list of everything these institutions got wrong during Covid:

    • Origin of the disease — wrong

    • Transmission — wrong

    • Asymptomatic spread — wrong

    • PCR testing — wrong

    • Fatality rate — wrong

    • Lockdowns — wrong

    • Community triggers — wrong

    • Business closures — wrong

    • School closures — wrong

    • Quarantining the healthy — wrong

    • Impact on youth — wrong

    • Hospital overload — wrong

    • Plexiglass barriers — wrong

    • Social distancing — wrong

    • Outdoor spread — wrong

    • Masks — wrong

    • Variant impact — wrong

    • Natural immunity — wrong

    • Vaccine efficacy — wrong

    • Vaccine injury — wrong

Twenty items. Every one sourced. Every one with real consequences for real people.

That’s not a crisis of public trust. That’s a record of institutional failure.

The Statin Scam

Here's something Pharma won't emphasize to you or your doctor:

"[S]tatins have a very high rate of injury. For example, the existing studies find between a 5-30% rate of injuries,19 and Dr. Malhotra, having gone through all the existing evidence estimates that 20% of statin users are injured by them.

Likewise, statins are well known for having a high percentage of patients discontinue the drugs due to their side effects (e.g., one large study found 44.7% of older adults discontinue the drugs within a year of starting them, while another large study of adults of all ages found 47% discontinued within a year)."

What follows is an excerpt from an article by "A Midwestern Doctor," a Substack I follow closely:

Despite decades of statin use costing approximately $25 billion annually in America alone, heart disease remains the leading cause of death, suggesting the cholesterol hypothesis that drives statin prescriptions is fundamentally flawed

Studies show that lowering cholesterol with statins does not reduce heart disease, and yet these findings are ignored while statin guidelines are created by experts paid by pharmaceutical manufacturers

Malcolm Kendrick’s clotting model provides a superior explanation for heart disease: atherosclerotic plaques result from repeated damage to blood vessel linings which the body repairs with layers of clots.

The medical establishment dismisses widespread reports of statin injuries as “nocebo effects,” paralleling how COVID-19 vaccine injuries were dismissed as “anxiety,” despite extensive evidence corroborating the injuries.

The actual causes of heart disease—fine particulate matter from pollution and cigarettes, lead exposure, chronic stress, and endothelial damage—receive minimal research funding because effective interventions cannot be patented and sold as expensive pharmaceuticals like statins.

MAHA Roundup by “A Midwestern Doctor”

For several years, I have enthusiastically subscribed to the Substack of "A Midwestern Doctor," titled "The Forgotten Side of Medicine." It is a link-rich environment for getting one's bearings on the many health care and public health issues distorted by Pharma $ and entrenched bureaucratic dogma (visit today's article for the links). I highly recommend following this Substack.  Today's issue includes a recap of the many successes of the MAHA movement spearheaded by RFK, Jr.:

  • Cutting the mandatory vaccine schedule in half and making many previously required vaccines optional after a discussion with your doctor. Given that the CDC never removes vaccines from the schedule, my initial hope was that, when Trump broached removing the newborn hepatitis B vaccine from the CDC schedule, there was a small chance it would actually happen. Which resulted in a lot of people, myself included, waging a lengthy campaign to increase the chance that would happen. Despite that, I was initially very worried that it wouldn’t happen due to the resistance, and I patiently waited for a CDC announcement. However, out of nowhere, instead of just doing that, they cut the schedule in half (which was quite extraordinary).

    Note: one of the key arguments used in lawsuits opposing this vaccine schedule is that requiring doctors to discuss the merits of vaccinating before vaccinating patients is too time-consuming in practice—which is an excellent metaphor for the issues with the medical system.

  • Fixing the food pyramid so that unhealthy food is no longer glorified, while healthy foods are prioritized. Ironically, this required flipping the pyramid upside down (again an excellent metaphor for the health care system), resulting in a real-life enactment of a 2014 South Park episode that Kennedy’s team then slightly altered for a viral post

  • Reversing the demonization of healthy animal fats and bringing attention to the danger of seed oils.

  • Getting the food industry to agree to phase out artificial food dyes (as synthetic dyes cause a variety of issues, including behavioral problems) and to create a viable pathway for companies to use natural dyes correctly.

  • Begin closing the GRAS loophole, which has long been used to get a variety of unsafe and untested chemicals into the food supply.

  • Announced an upcoming MAHA inquiry into baby formula safety and ingredients, focusing on potential toxins and health impacts (which as I showed in this May 2025 article, was critical to do and easy to fix by reversing a few bad regulatory policies).

  • Highlighting the links between Tylenol and neurological developmental disorders (discussed further here).

  • Shutting down gain-of-function bioweapons research being practiced throughout the United States, and from what I’ve heard in the near future globally as well.

  • Begin drawing attention to the dangers of water fluoridation so it can be phased out (a critical topic I still have not had time to write about, other than its role in causing osteoporosis) and beginning the phase out of mercury dental fillings by announcing they would be phased out of the Indian Health Service by 2027 (which is likewise another critical health topic I have not yet had time to cover).

  • Defeated the pesticide immunity provision (Section 453), something I like many others tried to oppose (e.g., see this article), but thought would likely pass due to how much influence the agrochemical sector has.

  • Implement a variety of federal policies to subsidize only healthy practices and lower prices (e.g., greatly lowering drug prices, changing Medicare reimbursements to prioritize practices that promote health, and making food stamps no longer cover or subsidize junk food). Implemented major HHS restructuring, including a 20% workforce reduction and consolidation into a new chronic disease-focused agency, reducing bureaucratic influence.

  • Begin rolling back television pharmaceutical advertising by reinstating the advertising restrictions Clinton eliminated.
