Discussion on Autism Rates and Vaccines

We've seen just a skyrocketing, uh, autism rate.

Nobody knows exactly why. There's some people who

are suspicious that it's

connected to vaccines and triggers, uh, but this person

included. Um,

uh, the, the science right now is inconclusive,

but we have to research it.

Part of the reason I think it's very important to research it

is those vaccines are

also, uh, preventing huge numbers of

deaths among children and, and preventing, uh, you know,

debilitating illnesses like polio.

Uh, and so we can't afford to junk our vaccine

system.

We've got to figure out why is it that, uh, you know, this is

happening so that,

um, you know, we are starting to see a more normal, what

was a normal, uh, rate of autism. Uh, because

if we keep on seeing increases at the rate that we're inc- seeing,

we're never gonna have enough money to provide all the special needs, uh,

special education, uh, uh, funding that's gonna be necessary.
