It mystifies me why anti-vax people trust MDs to do anything. If they're injecting poison in kids - according to the anti-Vax people - then how could you trust them at all?
But rates do seem to track with tax cuts for the wealthy. Now, I know correlation is not causation... but maybe we should return tax rates on the rich to Eisenhower levels and see what happens.
I didn't know of him, but yeah.
(or, I could define "modern era" to mean the last 30 years, which might leave Wakefield as yet-unchallenged, until Musk's doge-y actions overtake.)
If anyone honestly thinks vaccines cause autism, then they've displayed a total lack of ability to follow facts, logic, and reason, and I refuse to even engage with them in any kind of intellectual discussion whatsoever.
As far as I understood the original debate. Which has somehow got lost in the hysteria. There's some evidence of a link between gut dysfunction and autism. The original doctor that raised the alarm suggested that vaccines may be interfering with the gut biom. Hence the link.
Interestingly I have also read about parents that have insisted that their sick infant began to show signs of behavioural changes after receiving massive doses of antibiotics. The theory, again, being that these drugs interfered with the gut biome at a crucial stage of development.
But a friend of my brothers wife’s cousin’s next door neighbor has a friend whose son was diagnosed with autism just 2 weeks after getting vaccinated for polio. QED.
Thank goodness dumbass is here to save us from this horror. Hopefully we can get China to supply us with those iron lung thinggies for when polio comes roaring back.

Such people are incapable of being talked with.
These are some of the dumbest people I've ever met. They shouldn't be allowed to use scissors, let alone raise children.
Anybody even touching immunology, microbiology, vaccinology, public health, epidemiology or even good sense can read these reports.
Thoughtful moderated speech is so passè👍🤣
