| Interesting discovery, if likely true it means they have found the cause of 80% of autism, which i suspect includes most of us here including myself, even more interesting that in theory autism could be reversed with a simple therapy to correct this developed in the future.

Other countries have a much higher rate of autism, with hardly any vaccines given compared to US so the theory is nonsense. Looks like Qatar has the highest rate 151.20 per 10,000, Libya ha... |
