Ben Shapiro is a tool of the deep state which in turn is a tool of Big Pharma. Ignore the nippy little dog and feel free to kick it in the nose if its too loud. There is no study ever run that wasn't designed not to find the link, Any researcher, Scientist, Doctor who even sort of implies that their is a connection will be destroyed and their career will be ruined. RFK Jr. is right and he is having to play the long game IE Allowing the poison MRNA Covid shot to still be administered so he can buy time to prove the link between vaccines and autism.

I agree with everything you stated with the caveat that I only hope your last point is true. RFK Jr is up against a ruthless mafia, is a very smart man, but is not perfect (who is?) So whether he succeeds and just how much he really intends to remain to be seen.

This is incredible. Great work

I kind of wonder if Ben is the victim of vaccine induced autism...

Jim Dandy's avatar

I think he's the victim of ego driven peer envy. Nothing is worth giving up his standing with his Beloved Harvard Law class, so he'll never do anything that could cause any cognitive dissonance.

Ben Shapiro is not dumb, which only leaves one conclusion. I stopped watching him after the vaccine thing and this last year has proven I made the right decision.

Brandy's avatar

Same here. Stopped listening to him during the Covid panic. Although I have decided that I don’t think he’s very smart but you might be right.

Danielle's avatar

He's removed from his divinity and I fully disagree, he's very dumb. His wife is a family medical physician. Indoctrination runs deep as does his blind obsession & obedience to Benjamin Netanyahu and slaughtering children.

I think you could send Ben Shapiro everything you have on Autism and vaccine association as well as Tylenol association and he would not change what he proclaimed because his ego would not allow it.

ActualData's avatar

But James... you only have a phd. Ben has...great media presence. He has fact-checked your claims and found them wanting.

Nnikk's avatar

Ha ha ha, how true.

Tonya's avatar

But a PhD is not necessary to approach the data objectively, and we should leave credentialism out of this discussion. The case for vaccines sometimes inducing autism can stand on its own.

ActualData's avatar

But one of the main arguments used by the complicit media is this one. "Rfk, you aren't a doctor". The "fact checking" done by media types against the likes of Robert Malone etc, has been mind blowing.

Annie's avatar

Thank you James! I wanted to ask the community if they would suggest the top three vaccine documentaries I could show to my high school kids. I have watched a few but it's been a long time and I haven't watched any recently. I don't know if I can get them to watch more than one so I'd like to make that one do a lot of heavy lifting. Thank you.

An Inconvenient Study is a recent one. Vaxxed is another. Vaxxed Ii. Suzanne Humphries had an excellent lecture series that I watched on YouTube several years ago so they might have been taken down. It was about the infant immune system. It was amazing.

I didn't read your full long article but as far as I got--the first paragraph after the heading "the claims nobody is making" has couple of typos:

"So Ben’s correlations do (should be *due*) to equal causation argument misses the initial source of the hypothesis: real-world, empirical observation. I dare Ben to spend two days with moms and hear their stories. I dare him to watch Vaxxed and Vaxxed II, and spend a third day explaining his understanding. Perhaps reading this article alone will help him recognize is (should be *his*) logical shortcomings."

I can only imagine their are probably numerous others, but I don't feel like proofreading further.

Unfortunately, substackers don't have editors or proofreaders to catch these mistakes.

Clark's avatar

Well, at least it's evidence that the article is not heavily formatted by AI, although AI can make errors by incorporating common but improper grammar. For decades a lot of actual book publishers have not had proper proofreaders either. I make a lot of typos because I use dictation which makes the typos and I don't catch all of them on the first or second pass, and sometimes it changes a word a few seconds later.

Dr Joseph's avatar

Shit happens.

(That was not generated by AI)

Clark's avatar

I know that was not generated by AI--that was my conclusion. But I see too many substacks, including by prominent people in the field, especially one I have in mind, either generated by or heavily formatted by AI and not edited to remove all the artifacts of AI writing.

great honour of writing such a sophisticated article for a little irrelevant propagandist ...

Nnikk's avatar

i agree with everythig you stated with the caveat that I only hope your last point is true. RFKjr is up against a ruthless mafia, is a very smart man, but is not perfect (who is?) So whether he succeeds and just how much he really intends to remain to be seen.

Duane's avatar

RFK has restricted the advisory for mRNA to exclude more people, and he's attempted to build a vaccine investigation committee to recommend or not recommend certain vaccines, but he's had legal challenges with judges ruling against him every step of the way. No doubt big pharma shills and flunkies.

Nnikk's avatar

Yes a ot of those Federal judges really need to go. Starting to see a trickle of counterdictions on them.

Jim Uren's avatar

As someone who has examined mechanisms, it would be interested in getting your take on Marc Girardot's Bolus Theory.

It proposes a mechanism that would explain why vaccines would hurt some but not all, and also why symptoms would differ sharply among those negatively affected.

Nnikk's avatar

Been Shapiro is a quack and a phoney player. As "Reality" puts it below, a tool of the DS, and his analogy on how to deal with him is perfect.

RS Weir's avatar

Sorry, but put into proper perspective and viewed through a common man's eyes...Shapiro is simply an arrogant asshole pretending to be brilliant.

David Plaisted's avatar

My recollection of the Danish study is that it looked at levels of aluminum from 0 to 2 and autism from 2 to 5. I don't know if this is the same study. If they had also included autism from 0 to 2 they would have found a slight increase with aluminum.

James, as you know me, I can't help but tell it like it is. This only provided you with the opportunity to remind readers that what Ben Shapiro could have said was "nothing bad happened in my family."

In Ben's bubble allow me to point out as Sagan reminds us: "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence."

Beyond that James, you are typically the smartest guy in the room. Never hurts.

The reason I have read everything you have cited is that I have a vaccine injured child. The problem is that the things I am best at I cannot deploy as a law abiding citizen. And you thought you are frustrated by the BS and propanganda??

Jim Dandy's avatar

Shapiro is a Big Pharma schill. He is thoroughly indoctrinated by his ever present brag of going to Harvard and his wife being a Pharma dispensing Doctor.

He's found a niche to sell what he wants and to pretend to be conservative, but nearly always fails on any actual point or implementation.

Just because you can yip shrilly and quickly and attack liberals on the feels, that doesn't make you an actual conservative.
