I don’t think we can rule out vaccines when she did get vaccines. If she didn’t get vaccines, then we can say it vaccines didn’t play a role — but since she did, they still remain the number one cause: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/stop-calling-it-autism-start-calling

Hotez is a leader in the cult of vaccines — and a priest in the cult of scientism: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/the-religious-tenants-of-scientism

Nothing scientific about these people...pure fascists and lesenkoists.

My disdain for the man is significant -- and that's being nice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sj6-QDVYbv8

An arrogant, moronic buffoon was my opinion of him back in the Covaids era.One of the more disgusting of the kill jab pushers who should be in prison if a fair world existed. Too bad for the child who was born of this cretin!

Having lost a daughter to meth intoxication, I have deflected, rationalized, and done anything else I could think of to absolve myself of any blame. At some point, I had to look in the mirror and weigh my participation in her life. I had to pull every item off the shelf and ask, "Was this me? Did I cause this?" I'm at the near end of that journey, not because I've run out of things to ask myself in complete honesty, but simply because I'm getting "up there" in age. I hear that clock ticking... ever so softly, but I hear the tick, tick, tick of life draining away. I've never said "no way."

So Peter Hotez... This is the guy who said this in a March 5, 2020 testimony before the House Science, Space and Technology Committee on Coronavirus:

"One of the things we're not hearing a lot about is the unique potential safety problem of coronavirus vaccines. With certain types of respiratory virus vaccines, you get immunized, and then when you get actually exposed to the virus, you get this kind of paradoxical immune enhancement phenomenon."

Hotez stated to the committee that his colleagues had killed children from pathogenic priming during experiments with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccines in 1966, and stated that in his own work on coronavirus, he saw the same effect in ferrets.

"We started developing coronavirus vaccines, and our colleagues -- we noticed in laboratory animals that they started to show some of the immune pathology. So we said, 'Oh my God, this is going to be problematic.'"

I'm sorry for his daughter. While her blood may not be totally on his hands, there is a lot that remains from other children and adults. Always showing up in that professorial lab coat to fool people into "I know what I'm talking about" state of mine may have worked for some, but it was nothing more than a visual shibboleth. His desire to distance himself from her malady argues just the opposite of what he says in that book as a result.

In the movie "The Tale of Two Cities," I remember the woman knitting the crests of those who died before her shouting, "La guilottine... La guillotine." I thought she was awful, but now I'm not so sure.

He basically sacrificed his daughter! You can’t tell me otherwise.

I am astounded that anyone still pays attention to Hotez. He is a manipulator.

I am so sorry, Rachel.

Such a sad tale he will never understand that what he is doing was the root cause of his own Daughter’s suffering. History will be so unkind to the vaccine are safe and effective religion folks.

As far as I’m aware genes need to be ‘switched on’ or off …..they are influenced by our lifestyles and what we were exposed to from conception onwards.

Little thought is given I suspect to the effect of pregnant women sitting at keyboards day in day out as apart of their work day with the increasing exposure to EMFs etc. let alone all the other thousands of toxic products in the food chain.

I take the position that there are multiple players in the autism debate & like any other condition some play a greater role.

Rachael may be one, who, was not particularly affected by the vaccines. She is after all one child out of millions.

He needs to ask those parents, particularly those of twins or triplets, where all the babies were behaving perfectly normally and within 48hrs or so they were very significantly altered for good. Not sure how he would explain that one. That’s not forgetting all the single instances.

Somewhat concerned about the sponsorship involved too……

How would he explain the massive increase in spectrum disorders I the past decades, looking set to continue.

Although we’re not talking about SIDS here, interesting that when the vaccine schedule in Japan was implemented at 24 months the SIDS mortality plummeted. Lots more questions that don’t add up….

"I take the position that there are multiple players in the autism debate & like any other condition some play a greater role."

Not sure this is a valid (tentative) conclusion. Your position is on "multiple players," yet the "players scoring malign goals" are pretty easily identified. And they're almost always the SAME "players"! As I wrote above: 100% no question: a pile of anecdotes does NOT equal evidence. However a pile of anedcotes ABSOLUTELY signals the need for scientific investigation -- which the malevolant "coaches" will not perform!

You might dig deeper into SIDS too -- it appears that nearly EVERY ONE that was investigated occured within a couple DAYS of poison injection! (As I remember, exposure started with a woman cop, who tracked all the SIDS babies she was calle out to investigate, and then she looked into the police records. Totally ignored by the medical establishment, of course.) A Bell Curve of 'time post injection for regression' would likely prove fruitful. Yet no one will do it.

Yeah, they did. Denial ain't just a river in Egypt, Hotze. Who funded the book? Who funded your career? (Who, among the targeted audience, actually read this trash?) Stop vaccines. Stop creating more autism.

I do not mean to sound cruel, but its commonplace for government-scripted disinformation agents to write books (pushed by the mainstream media) and do lectures and presentations on their propaganda, and its very possible that Hotez was literally told to write his book knowing that enough parents would read it and continue to get their children vaccinated and this is pure speculation on my part.

I recall many people who went on social media claiming adverse reactions to the Covid shots said that they are still for the use of other vaccines and for so many people to recite the same lines they had to have been coached.

And someone of Hotez's intellect must know that there are no viruses and that vaccines are filled with synthetic chemicals, proteins from plants and animals and heavy metals and the damage they cause.

I can not prove it on paper, but given the lies by omission and fear-mongering by the online hig-profile “health freedom” activists, it is very possible that even these “professionals” may be following orders from the same military intelligence psy ops divisions.

"must know"? Works hard to NOT know; and is supported by EVERYONE he works with and around hom who ALSO "must NOT know."

Thank for opening up this book.

Every insurance-reimbursed doctor visit, every vaccination, every prescription drug purchased keeps people like Hotez in our lives, when the likes of him deserve the unemployment line. Any system where a person like Hotez has any prominence is by inference malevolent and is best avoided entirely.

Reminiscent of the clown-show hearing into the death of Princess Diana: the judge announced that any theory of outside agency was off-limits because it was unthinkable.

In my own life, an after-action assessment for a mishap during sn event that the participants were pressured heavily (behind the back and without the knowledge of the scapegoat ultimately held responsible) to perform despite safety concerns: a "personally appointed representative" of the front office decreed that any discussion of high-level back-channel pressure was off-limits.

Anytime some "seeker of truth" declares something off-limits, usually with contempt and name-calling, they're pointing out an avenue that needs exploring. It also spreads fear and implies threat: most folks are then afraid to go there.

Dismaying and infuriating. Still, how can Hotez live with himself if he DARES to recognize that his lifelong work has injured his daughter -- and likely thousands of other sons and daughters? No excuse, but perhaps a reason?

I always push VAXXED II on family and friends (and strangers!) -- I think it's a better intro to VAXXED... People will 'more align' with other people who are "buying a product": the basis for advertising. Seeing a parade of people approving of a 'product' is often more persuasive that explaining the science.

My self-appointed proselytizing work in 'true health' is with IVM and cancer (now), rather than poison vaxxxes.

The receptionist for my new dentist, a year+ ago, had to cancel my first visit, as he had had another chemo the day before and was too debilitated to come in. When he came back, I had a great chat with his receptionist about IVM, and she pulled HER bottle of it out of her drawer, and said she was NOT able to get through to him. I had pulled together and printed out my 16-page "IVM handout" -- and as he tortured me, I described IVM and what-all was happening. I asked him to read it ("bunch of peer-reviewed studied listed in it, you know?").

I stressed that I agree 100% with "a pile of anecdotes does NOT equal evidence!" However a PILE of anecdotes DOES mean study is absolutely NECESSARY!! If they will not look for evidence... then roll the dice and add in the anecdotes! Polite man, so he took the handout, albeit dubiously.

A couple days later, I had swept together a longer (more appealing to him I hoped; even MORE studies and medical anecdotes). He was out again (post-chemo again). I spoke with his head nurse? and asked her to please PLEASE urge him to read it -- and she should read it too.

Some months later, on a return visit, the dentist looked NOTICEABLY better. His delighted receptionst said that -- by total happenstance, shortly after I'd been in last time, he's gone to his 'back-doctor.' (Dentistry is HELL on the back!) Completely out of the blue, the doc had suggested he look into ... IVERMECTIN ... as it seemed to having great effect, and was finally being studied!

Around the torture of that visit, I said, "I know it's not polite to pry, but I must: are you TAKING the IVM?"

{Weirdly!} he flicked his EAR! (?!) "This" he said, (pointing at a large chunk cut from his ear shell) "was cancer from a few years ago. THIS!" and he pointed to a tiny scar below it, "was a recent cancer!"

I describe to myself (and a few others) that I view my work as "building a mental infrastucture on which to 'hang' later information that would normally be discarded ("crazy" 'stupid" "not possible"). Without a mental 'hook to hang it from,' the later info is also allowed to slip away. I believe BECAUSE I had built such an infrastructure, what his back-doc said COULD be 'kept in mind'... Sure, it;'s RARE to hear (back) on a positive or hope-filled result. Worth the work!

It might be worth mentioning that his research grants total millions to develop a hookworm vaccine, and after over 30 years he still hasn’t got one.
