In 2009, J.B. Handley, father of a vaccine-injured son and founder of Generation Rescue, challenged the no-risk narrative of pro-vaccine host Dr. Travis Stork while a guest on The Doctors.
Sparks flew as Handley rebuked Stork’s predictable statement on vaccine-induced autism:
Dr. Stork: In my opinion, vaccines are the one thing we have looked at as [not] causing autism.
Handley: That is completely bogus. That is such a bogus statement. How many vaccines have they looked at in these studies? How many? What’s the answer? It’s two. How many ingredients have they studied of 35? What’s the answer? It’s one. You’ve looked at two of 36 shots and one of 35 vaccines and you’re gonna stand on the stage and say that vaccines and autism aren’t related. It is the most bogus tobacco science. It’s a smokescreen. And anybody who takes the time to read it will agree. I’m so sick of doctors who don’t read the studies, who don’t know the details sitting here telling parents and reassuring them vaccines don’t cause autism. It is irresponsible.
Dr. Stork, when hit squarely in the face by the reality of vaccine science, on camera no less, reacted with a complete meltdown peppered with aggression and arrogance. For a brief moment, viewers were given a raw look into the unscientific views defended by Dr. Stork and the medical profession.
In a recent interview, Handley reflected on the now-infamous confrontation: “I’m really proud of that interaction not so much for what I did or said, but for the fact that he looked like the jackass doctor we all deal with when it comes to our kid and autism.”
To date, Dr. Stork has not reached out to Handley to learn more of the facts of the vaccine-autism connection. Meanwhile, Handley has been busy running Generation Rescue, publishing regular articles, writing a book, and working to help his son recover from autism.
Like Dr. Stork, the silent, often arrogant mainstream medical community has lost touch with the aspects of autism and vaccine injury, which is where unstoppable parents like Handley come in. Thanks to them, millions of people are learning that the lines they were given in the doctor’s office—that vaccines don’t cause autism, vaccines are safe and effective, and that the rate of autism has always been the same—were lies.
The mainstream media frequently parrots these dangerous, uninformed lies. During the public CDC whistleblower testimony of 2014, CNN Health Correspondent Elizabeth Cohen went on nationally televised news and proclaimed, with a dash of authoritative arrogance, to her audience, “Vaccines are safe.” She continued, “Autism is not a side effect of vaccines. Or to say it another way because some people don’t want…don’t hear this well, vaccines do not cause autism.”
So where is the truth in all this mess? What do we know? Do vaccines cause autism? Does the medical community really not know the science about autism? According to Handley in his recent interview, “...there is nearing scientific certainty that one of the ways autism can be caused is by an immune activation event.” Handley suggests that science gives us “95 percent biological certainty for how autism can be caused. And I use the word ‘can’ because I’m not saying every case happens this way.”
Many of the links between vaccines, autism, and the body’s biological processes that lead to autism are readily available at vaccinepapers.org, a science-driven research site. Handley cited Vaccine Papers’ collection of studies and peer-reviewed data to write his incredibly thorough and well-researched article, Did Chinese Scientists Find Autism’s Missing Puzzle Piece. In the article, Handley explains four major discoveries on the subject which have been demonstrated and replicated in multiple studies. The scientific findings highlighted in Handley’s article are summarized in the graphic below:

Fellow autism parent and popular actress and author Jenny McCarthy is a member of Generation Rescue’s board of directors. Often blamed by the corporate media for what they call the “anti-vaccine movement”, McCarthy, like countless other parents, was forced to watch her son regress into autism after vaccination. Afterward, McCarthy posed reasonable questions regarding the apparent link between her son’s recent vaccination and his regression. While her honest inquiries are still mocked and scorned to this day, not a single mainstream media voice has properly addressed the fact that McCarthy’s son has recovered from autism.
Can children really recover from autism? Many parents who watched their children regress into autism after vaccination are now saying, “Yes!” We know with absolute certainty that a cross-section of children with vaccine-induced regressive autism have recovered and are now leading normal lives. Sadly, this isn’t the case for most and recovery is far from the current norm. The majority of doctors and researchers in the position to change the status quo are either too afraid to publicly discuss recovery cases they’ve observed or simply refuse to listen to parents curious about recovery.
In a recent survey, mothers who have recovered or are working to recover their children from autism offered compelling insight. When asked where they found the best information on autism, their unanimous answers were “alternative sources” and “other parents.” Respondents said the medical advice given by doctors and pediatricians on their children’s diagnosis included “there’s no hope”, “there’s no cure”, “intensive weekly therapy”, “expect the child to live at home forever”, “institutionalize them”, and “drugs are your only option”.
Scientific research continues to prove that environmental toxicity, including vaccination, plays a primary role in the development of autism. There is still massive, reflexive refusal from mainstream medicine to acknowledge the stories from parents of vaccine-injured children with regressive autism, or those who successfully reversed their children’s autism with a biomedicinal approach. Parents, families, and communities are raising their voices and demanding real solutions to autism outside the long-failed pharmaceutical approach. Many of those same people are also demanding truth, transparency, and oversight of America’s failed vaccine industry. Will those in the position to make real change hear us and act?
