guess who has experienced virtually no autism, and why;

Via: Brownstone Institute:

Life in the United States has changed drastically in the last several decades. Technology, pharmaceutical and medical interventions, dietary shifts, educational policies, and social trends have radically altered our way of life. Over the same time period, Americans have become fatter, sicker, and less happy. Chronic disease has skyrocketed, and our children suffer ill health at unprecedented levels.

Yet there is one group that has not experienced many of these same changes: The Amish and other Plain Sect churches. By opting out of a host of our modern social ills, they have avoided many of the negative outcomes impacting the rest of America, particularly our children.…

The rejection of Big Pharma is particularly striking: Twenty years ago, a small percentage of Amish parents gave their children a few vaccines such as MMR and TdaP, but today that rate is likely in the single digits. Of course, there are no vaccine mandates for attending Amish schools. Autism, ADHD, and autoimmune diseases are almost unheard of in this population.

I was speaking recently at an Amish festival and asked the 400 Amish folk in the audience if any of them knew any unvaccinated Amish children with these diseases. The attendees easily knew 5,000 children in total, probably many more. Not one person knew an Amish child diagnosed with ADHD. Three audience members responded that they knew of an Amish child with autism, but upon further questioning, one of the children in question had received the MMR vaccine, and the two others were unsure of the vaccine status of the children.

Given the prevalence of these afflictions in wider society, it is startling to encounter a community that has been almost completely spared. Many Americans are starting to notice and are asking questions about this phenomenon – questions that pharmaceutical companies would rather we did not ask........https://www.cryptogon.com/?p=70949
