From the article:
"I wonder if there’s a similar effect in the antivax movement – autism seems to really be on the rise (0.7 to 1.5% in this century)."
CDC is reporting that Autism has increased MUCH MUCH more than this. By their own reporting standards it was 1 in 150 in 2000, to 1 in 68 by 2010 (https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/autism/images/autism_data_graphic2012.jpg https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/autism/images/autism_data_graphic...) and the exponential increase has continued.
The idea that Autism and Vaccines is not linked is fake news. The CDC's own experts have blown the whistle saying their research was faked at the behest of the CDC to engage in a coverup.
An entire book was released on this subject:
https://www.amazon.com/Vaccine-Whistleblower-Exposing-Autism-Research-ebook/dp/B013V73MTE https://www.amazon.com/Vaccine-Whistleblower-Exposing-Autism...
And the semi-secret vaccine court which is heavily stacked against vaccine injury claimants, recently found that Autism was caused by a vaccine and paid out millions in damages.

There are secret studies buried by the CDC showing profound increases in auto-immune diseases that RFK Jr. had to dig up via FOIA, example: https://twitter.com/Perpetualmaniac/status/1204057720585883648 https://twitter.com/Perpetualmaniac/status/12040577205858836...
The idea that anti-vaxxers are misguided and need to be algorithmically silenced by some form techno-fascism will be seen as the scariest time in human history. This is nothing but a coverup for big pharma. It will go down in history as the biggest medical coverup in human history, dwarfing the "cigarettes are healthy for you" that the CDC pushed in the '60s.
The fact that the left is pushing this anti-free speech mantra is absolutely disgusting. The left used to stand for liberal values like free speech. Now they stand for big pharma, big tech and chinese style censorship to invoke cancel culture.
How shameful!

What do you think 1/150 and 1/68 translates to? now ask yourself if you are that wrong about a fundamental condition of your argument what else could you be mistaken on?
- zackees 6y ago> What do you think 1/150 and 1/68 translates to? It translates into the increase in ONE DECADE. Now go read the claim by the author: that this increase happened in ONE CENTURY.
- cfmcdonald 6y agoYou do realize that this century started only 20 years ago?
- zackees 6y agoEven in this interpretation (you are being very generous) he's off by a huge margin. The the rise of autism follows an exponential curve.
- cfmcdonald 6y agoI don't think I'm being generous, "this century" unambiguously means the current century starting from year 1 (19th, 20th, 21st) not the previous 100 years. See for example the usage in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/21st_century https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/21st_century
