Vaccines, Autism, and the Rights of Parents: A Hard Look at the Timeline and Truths

Introduction
Parents are waking up. From in utero to adulthood, the number of vaccines a person receives has skyrocketed—from just a handful in the 1960s to over 50 doses by age 18 today. Many doses are combination shots, delivering multiple vaccines in one go. With this increase has come rising concern: autism rates are climbing, autoimmune conditions are becoming commonplace, and families are asking tough questions about what goes into these injections, how they're tested, and what rights they truly have.

MTHFR Gene and Vaccine Detoxification

One of the biggest conversations that rarely makes it to the mainstream is about the MTHFR gene mutation. This mutation affects the body’s ability to process folate and detox properly. Some studies have shown that individuals with certain MTHFR mutations may have an increased risk of autism, especially when exposed to environmental triggers—including vaccines. Yet there has never been a standard practice of screening for this gene before injecting a child with vaccine adjuvants like aluminum or preservatives like thimerosal or formaldehyde. Why not?

How Is MTHFR Tested?

MTHFR mutations can be detected through a simple blood test or cheek swab. Many functional and integrative medicine doctors offer it as part of initial lab work, but most conventional practices do not routinely test for it—even when patients present with chronic conditions or are new to a practice.

Can You Request MTHFR Testing for Your Baby?

Yes — a parent absolutely can request MTHFR testing before any vaccines are given. The test is a simple blood test or cheek swab that checks for common gene variants (C677T and A1298C). These affect the body's ability to detox and methylate properly—something that may impact how a child responds to vaccine ingredients.

Most conventional pediatricians don’t offer this test and may say it’s unnecessary. However, functional and integrative medicine providers are more likely to honor the request. If refused, parents may choose to pay out of pocket through private labs or seek a new provider. It’s your right to ask and advocate for testing before any medical intervention, including vaccination.

Vaccine Ingredients: What’s Really Inside?

• Formaldehyde
• Polysorbate 80
• Aluminum salts
• Cell lines derived from aborted fetal tissue

The argument that the fetal cells were derived "decades ago" doesn’t erase the ethical dilemma or the fact that they are still being used to produce some modern vaccines.

VAERS and Legal Immunity for Big Pharma

Since the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, vaccine manufacturers have been shielded from liability. That’s right—you can’t sue them in court if your child is injured. Instead, you must go through the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). As a result, vaccine injuries are underreported. Still, VAERS logs thousands of incidents each year, including deaths and severe neurological damage. But VAERS is voluntary and not thoroughly investigated unless there’s a media storm.

The Autism Spike: Ignored or Suppressed?

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has called for vaccine safety investigations and points to data long buried or dismissed by the CDC. He has championed research linking environmental toxins, including vaccines, to the rise in autism and autoimmune disorders. In Japan, a study at Kobe University found autoimmune disease links in rats exposed to repeated immunizations. This kind of research has yet to be meaningfully addressed in U.S. policy. Why? Who benefits from silence?

Dismissed by Doctors: The Modern Witch Hunt

Many parents today report being fired by pediatricians simply for refusing vaccines. My daughter and grandson were among them. Others face shaming, bullying, and gaslighting from friends, family, and institutions. This is not informed consent. This is coercion.

A Timeline of Vaccine Expansion & Legal Protection

• 1960s: 3–5 vaccine doses recommended
• 1986: Vaccine manufacturers granted legal immunity
• 1990s–2000s: Massive expansion of CDC vaccine schedule
• 2020: Emergency use of COVID-19 vaccines
• 2025: Over 50 doses recommended from birth to age 18

Scripture to Stand On

"Let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No.' For whatever is more than these is from the evil one."
— Matthew 5:37

Closing Thoughts

This blog is not medical advice. It is a plea for parental rights, medical freedom, and informed consent. The time for silence is over. We have a duty to question, to research, and to protect the next generation. Let truth be your compass and courage your guide.
