​Exploring potential links between environmental toxins, the CDC vaccine schedule, and the autism epidemic

Let's be clear, autism is destroying the lives of too many children and their families. The latest CDC report (Reference: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/74/ss/ss7402a1.htm) states that autism in 8-year-olds in the U.S.A. (for the 2002 data) is now 1 in 31—and 1 in 20 for boys—and in California for 4-year-olds it is 1 in 12.5.
The numbers just keep skyrocketing over the past few decades.

This is catastrophic, and it is long past time this crisis is averted. The rate of autism for boys in California will be even worse when they compile the data for 8-year-old boys in four years.
Let's clear up one of the most divisive issues that is not helpful: the topic of neurodiversity and the idea that looking for what is driving this epidemic of autism is not honoring those who claim to be autistic and neurodiverse. If you are claiming to be autistic or have been diagnosed with ASD, but are functioning well, can take care of yourself, and will be able to live independently, then—while you may have autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a term I don't like because of the word "disorder"—you can absolutely celebrate your neurodiversity and live a meaningful and wonderful life whether or not you understand or identify the reasons for your neurodiversity and ASD. For the roughly 25% of those with autism/ASD who have profound autism, it is nothing to celebrate. Do the parents of these children love and fight for their children? Absolutely! These are some of the most wonderful parents in the world who would give their lives to have their child recover.
Most with profound autism will require lifelong care. They will not generally hold down a job or live independently; many are incapacitated with frequent seizures and need help with toileting and social situations. Many are in constant pain and live with debilitating anxiety.
As a retired pediatrician who honored informed consent and supported parents who chose not to vaccinate because they had done the research, I saw something most other pediatricians have not seen. I saw how incredibly healthy the unvaccinated children were—with virtually zero autism and far less ADHD, developmental delays, learning issues, eczema, asthma, allergies, and infections of all kinds.
Below are the graphs of the data from my practice comparing the unvaccinated to the variably vaccinated—those who were basically following the Vaccine-Friendly Plan outlined in my book by the same name.
rise in autism statistics 2025, environmental causes of autism, aluminum in childhood vaccines, vaccine injury and autism link, CDC vaccine schedule and autism
Because other pediatricians were discharging patients who would not follow the CDC schedule, for many years before my retirement, I was getting 3–4 new families a week in my practice who shared—with tears and sorrow—the tragic regression of a normally developing infant (usually between the age of 1–2 years old) into severe nonverbal autism. These were the profound autism children that no one could ever miss, so it clearly has nothing to do with better diagnosis, recognition, or changing diagnostic criteria.
Let's address the issue of association versus causation. While it is true that association does not necessarily mean causation, in medicine the first step in identifying causation is to notice an association and then research and determine if multiple studies show the same thing and whether there are plausible mechanisms that would explain how causation could take place.
No one questions whether penicillin can cause an allergic reaction. Now, for those of us who look at all the data and have lived through the past 20 years with a curious mind and careful attention to the literature and the patients right in front of us, we are clear on some of the causes and mechanisms that result in what we call autism, ASD, and a host of other chronic conditions in childhood.
Thankfully, we now have Bobby Kennedy (RFK Jr.) at the helm of HHS, leading the charge to figure this out and hopefully put an end to the iatrogenic causes of this crisis.
Iatrogenic in medicine means that it is something we are doing that is the problem. Could it be that we are doing something that is triggering this regression into autism in this growing percentage of children? What could it be?
The answer is the elephant in the room—the vaccines. The very thing we've been told over and over for 20 years does NOT cause autism, despite no proper studies on the effects of the vaccines on all health outcomes and despite no proper placebo-controlled studies on vaccine safety conducted by everyone from the NIH to the CDC and the pharmaceutical industry.
So, what are the mechanisms of harm? What are the most likely factors resulting in the explosion of autism in our world? What are the most likely top candidates for environmental causes? While genetic vulnerability is real, for there to be an epidemic in one or two generations there must be an environmental cause.
The mechanisms are clear: direct toxicity, immune activation and dysregulation, along with excitotoxicity.
What agents do this? Aluminum is a particularly bad actor here. It is responsible for direct toxicity, immune activation, and triggering autoimmunity. Most vaccines in the childhood schedule contain aluminum. Vaccines often contain many other toxins, like thimerosal (mercury) that is still in the multidose flu shot, formaldehyde (embalming fluid) that is in many vaccines, and many other ingredients that are immune activating.
But my child got all the vaccines, and they are fine, so it can’t be the vaccines! WRONG.
​Remember that before we moved from thinking that cigarettes were associated—and later known—to cause lung cancer and heart disease, there were lots of smokers who did not develop cancer or heart disease. The same is true for the vaccines. If you aren’t aware of the harm, then you won’t recognize all the negative health effects caused by the vaccines.
Here are some of the known causes of chronic health problems and autism:
  • Vaccines, particularly the MMR and the Hepatitis B given to infants.
  • The toxins in the vaccines, particularly aluminum.
  • Acetaminophen/Paracetamol (Tylenol) – blocks the production of glutathione.
  • Glyphosate.
  • Nutrient deficiencies, especially vitamin D.
  • Genetic vulnerabilities that increase risks to the above.
​This is not a comprehensive list, but a good start. If parents chose to follow the actual good science (and reject the junk science that is poorly done or intentionally meant to mislead), the following few steps could largely end the autism epidemic and significantly reduce the chronic diseases our children are suffering from. I'm not licensed, nor do I give medical advice; so the list below is simply a science-guided approach based on what we now know:
  • Stop vaccinating.
  • Never use Tylenol/Acetaminophen/Paracetamol.
  • Eat organic.
  • Supplement vitamin D3 + K2 to get vitamin D levels to an optimal range (60–80 ng/dL).
  • Supplement other nutrient deficiencies as needed.
  • For some, a gluten-free and dairy-free diet is vital.
The obvious number one culprit for what is destroying our children's health is the vaccines. California has one of the most highly vaccinated childhood populations in the country, and they have the highest rate of autism. In the U.S.A., we have one of the highest numbers of vaccines being given to infants and children. We also have one of the highest rates of infant mortality among developed nations. In our new book VAX FACTS (VAX FACTS Website), in the chapter on SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) you will see that for the six peer-reviewed studies that looked at SIDS as it relates to when these babies died relative to when they got vaccines, the results were shocking: Seventy-eight (78)% died in the first week after vaccines!
Kennedy was right in saying that while some people may be genetically predisposed to autism, it takes an environmental exposure to trigger the condition.
Kennedy also made clear that the recent CDC data shows that "nearly two-thirds of children with ASD in the latest survey had either severe or borderline intellectual disability (ID)."
​The destruction of our children’s brains, neurodevelopment, and immune systems must stop! Parents, the danger is real, and until it is acknowledged and the vaccine program halted, it is up to you to study this and stop vaccinating until you truly understand the impact of the decision to vaccinate.
Consider our new book VAX FACTS: What to Consider Before Vaccinating at All Ages & Stages of Life as your guide to informed consent. (Available only in paperback; see also details on Kids First 4Ever.)
If you want help thinking through your unique situation (perhaps you are traveling, have family history considerations, or there is a disease outbreak for which a vaccine is available—or maybe you aren’t on the same page as your partner), consider coaching with Dr. Paul or DeeDee (JAM, Just a Mom) at Kids First 4Ever Coaching. DeeDee also specializes in communication, whether with your partner, doctor, friend, or relative.
To make the decision not to vaccinate a little easier for those who are new to thinking about this, I would encourage you to consider that for every single disease for which there is a vaccine, your child is more likely to die from the vaccine than from the disease itself.

Why trusting your intuition and protecting your child from a broken system matters more than ever

Greetings,
I was recently interviewed on episode 409 of the Birthing Instincts podcast, hosted by Blyss Young and Dr. Stuart Fischbein. The episode is titled “Facts on VAX and so much else with Dr. Paul Thomas” and covers the real and urgent issues families face today when it comes to pediatric health and vaccinations
During our conversation, I shared what I’ve learned through years of pediatric practice, research, and listening to parents—especially when it comes to the outcomes we’ve seen in vaccinated vs. unvaccinated children, and the troubling financial incentives that exist within the medical system​. These are just some of the themes we explore in the book VAX FACTS, co-authored with DeeDee Hoover (JAM—Just a Mom), which we wrote to help families make fully informed decisions.
The podcast hosts brought insight and passion to this conversation, and I’d like to introduce them properly here:
  • Dr. Stuart Fischbein is an obstetrician who left the hospital system to practice community-based birthing, following the midwifery model of care. He now travels the world teaching the art of vaginal breech delivery.
  • Midwife Blyss Young is a home birth midwife who believes in the sacredness and ritual of birth, the power of autonomy, and the brilliance of the human body. She centers her work on the deep connection between baby and parent.
Their mission aligns beautifully with ours at Kids First 4Ever: to empower parents to trust their instincts and take back authority over their children's health.

Study shows Vaccines Cause Autism and NDDs (Neurodevelopmental disorders)

vaccines and autism study, Lyons-Weiler Blaylock vaccine research, neurodevelopmental disorders and vaccines, peer-reviewed vaccine risks, VAXXED-UnVAXXED validation study
While the public health agencies, the CDC, the AAP, and most doctors are still repeating the old lie that “vaccines are safe and effective” and that there is no link between vaccines and autism, more and more data and studies are proving without a doubt that vaccines are indeed a strong cause of autism.
This latest study, just published in January 2025 by Anthony R. Mawson and Binu Jacob, looked at government data for 47,155 nine-year-old children enrolled in the Florida Medicaid program since birth. The authors make these statements:
  • Childhood vaccination is associated with autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders.
  • Increasing numbers of vaccinations lead to a higher risk of autism.
  • Vaccinated preterm babies are at greater risk of neurodevelopmental disorders than unvaccinated babies.
The graphs here say it all:
Picture
Picture
It turns out that those well-child visits at the pediatrician’s office are actually vaccine visits, and the more you have, the more likely it is that your child becomes autistic.
Picture
With autism rates already at 1/36 in the USA, and higher for boys and higher for those with family histories of autism or other neurodevelopmental issues, it is time to STOP vaccinating children while we take a thorough look at the vaccines.
This is the latest study in a growing list of well-done studies all showing the same results: vaccines are increasing childhood chronic diseases, neurodevelopmental conditions and infections, allergies, and autoimmunity.
The data from 2008–2015 from my practice (published in the book The Vaccine-Friendly Plan) from 2008–2015 showed no autism in the unvaccinated and a rate of 1/60 for those most vaccinated, who were essentially following the CDC schedule. Notice that for those following the Vaccine-Friendly Plan (about half the number of vaccines as the CDC schedule and given one at a time and more delayed), there were 3 cases of autism that resolved by the time of the published data. The resolution was likely because any child who was showing developmental delays would no longer get any vaccines, and other measures were taken to attempt to heal and reverse the course of their health challenges.
Picture
​Mawson et al. published the important data showing the correlation between vaccines and numerous health conditions.
Picture
Chronic illness was 2.4 times more common in vaccinated children. Neurodevelopmental disorders, autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities were 3.7–5.2 times more common in the vaccinated when compared to the unvaccinated.
The data from the Hooker and Miller 2020 study, Analysis of health outcomes in vaccinated and unvaccinated children: Developmental delays, asthma, ear infections and gastrointestinal disorders, showed a very statistically significant doubling of developmental delays and ear infections in the vaccinated and a 4.5-times increase in asthma in the vaccinated when compared to unvaccinated children.
Picture
The data from my practice, which included all children born into the practice over a 10.5-year period, confirmed the 300–400% increase in numerous conditions when compared to the unvaccinated.
Picture
Notice that for all the conditions— asthma, allergic rhinitis, urticaria, breathing issues, eye disorders, behavioral issues, ADHD, and infections (ears, respiratory, skin, and all infections)—the orange line representing the vaccinated children rises over the 10 years of data to much higher levels. This represents more cases and more severity of these conditions for the vaccinated when compared to the unvaccinated. There were 5 times more vaccinated in this study, so the numbers for the unvaccinated were multiplied by 5 to make up for the difference in group sizes.​
​This landmark article, which I co-authored with James Lyons-Weiler, was published in November 2020 in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (PDF Version: https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/17/22/8674/pdf).
Full disclosure: after 6 months and 250,000 downloads, the article was wrongfully retracted based on one complaint that was absolutely without merit. Days after this article was available online, my license to practice medicine was emergently suspended with the accusation that I was a threat to public health. More accurately, I was a threat to vaccine profits. The health of our children is being destroyed by vaccines, as these studies and many more show. We now have hundreds of articles that document vaccine harm.
One thing parents fear the most is the death of their child, for whatever reason! The public panic, fanned by misleading media coverage of measles claiming that two children have died in Texas this year from measles, is unfortunately misguided. Both children died from medical mismanagement, and it is clear now that neither child actually died of measles, and likely neither of them even had a measles infection— they certainly didn’t have measles at the time of death. For in-depth analysis of the measles stories, I refer you to the Children’s Health Defense online journal The Defender and to CHDTV.
Vaccines are the leading cause of SIDS. The USA has one of the worst infant mortality rates, and it is getting worse. The most recent data released by the CDC on infant mortality states that in 2022 there were over 20,000 infant deaths. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/databriefs/db492-tables.pdf#5
The number three cause of infant deaths, behind congenital and chromosomal issues and deaths related to prematurity and low birth weight (something that is also increased by vaccines during pregnancy), is SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). More than 7,000 deaths are listed as "all other causes." Undoubtedly, many of these are also vaccine-related but simply not recognized. Many infant deaths are labeled as suffocation when, in fact, it was likely a vaccine issue.
"Parents, we are called to protect and nurture our children. It is long overdue that we recognize vaccines for the danger they really are."
— Dr. Paul
In the chapter on SIDS in my latest book VAX FACTS (vaxfactsbook.com), I make it clear that most SIDS (78%) represents an infant dying in the first week after vaccines. They are not dying in the week before vaccines.
Parents, we are called to protect and nurture our children. It is long overdue that we recognize vaccines for the danger they really are. Please understand that the unvaccinated are the healthiest children of all. Not one unvaccinated child in my practice, over the 35 years of my pediatric career, died of a disease for which there are vaccines. The natural immune system is amazing. These children (and I have cared for over 1,000 unvaccinated children) are the healthiest of all. They rarely get sick, and when they do, they recover quickly.
We live in a very toxic world today with contaminated food, water, and air, along with EMF (Electromagnetic Frequencies) that at times stresses our bodies beyond their ability to maintain health. We need to pay attention to eating organic, drinking well-filtered water, avoiding mold-contaminated indoor environments, and minimizing EMF exposure.
Stress is perhaps the most underappreciated toxin in our world. Screens add stress. Our homes need to be that safe place for the entire family. We all benefit from time in nature, sunshine, and grounding (walking barefoot on the ground or on a sandy beach).
Blessings,

The more information we get, the better we are at making informed decisions. The issue seems to be that not everyone understands what true informed consent means. Luckily, I feel the tides are changing, and more information will come out regarding the lack of safety of vaccines. I struggle with understanding why vaccines haven’t been truly tested. The inserts even say there are side effects, one of which can be death, so how do you then say “they are safe and effective”?
I truly enjoy coaching parents regarding vaccine choices when it comes to supporting them in finding the strength and confidence within them to make the choices that are best for their children and family.
"​Take back your power. Only you should decide what, if anything, gets injected into your healthy child."
—  DeeDee J.A.M.
There is misinformation regarding measles and other infections this year. The hope for many of us was that RFK Jr. would be making these changes. Anything he does or says is being changed into what the media wants you to know. It seems clear that no matter what is said publicly, it gets distorted by mainstream media and the establishment. The fear-mongering is damaging to those of us that are in this fight to do the best for our children, as we are left feeling like we have no rights to make the best decisions for us. I truly hope that we can stay strong. Find your tribe! Arm yourself with the skills to stand up for you and your family.
​Dr. Paul and I are both available for coaching. You don't have to make these decisions by yourself.
As time goes by, my prayer is that the divide in this world will change. Please don't ever let someone—anyone—tell you what to do. What we put into our bodies and our children should be our choice. Allowing the government to decide what we should do is simply insanity to me, and mandates are next-level stupidity.
​Take back your power. Only you should decide what, if anything, gets injected into your healthy child.

​We were among the 99% of cases the Supreme Court chooses not to hear—but that won’t stop us from speaking louder for informed consent.

This morning, we received the news that the Supreme Court has decided not to hear our case.
Officially, the petition for writ of certiorari was denied.
For those who have followed this fight from the beginning, you know this case wasn't just about me, Dr. Paul. It was about all of us — about the right of parents to choose, about doctors being able to speak openly with patients, and about protecting the sacred principle of informed consent.
As DeeDee so honestly shared:
“We kept going up all these steps thinking that somebody would hear the truth... that what this man went through... what it means to all the families out there... somebody at a high level would say, 'Hey, that's wrong.'"
While we didn’t get our day in the highest court, this is not the end of our mission. It is simply another step in a journey we have always known would require resilience, faith, and the support of a community that believes in truth.
Our case, at its core, challenged the actions of the Oregon Medical Board. After we published the now-famous "Vaxxed-Unvaxxed" study showing that unvaccinated children were healthier by many measures, I was stripped of my license and silenced from sharing real-world data from my own practice. This was a direct assault on both scientific freedom and the sacred doctor-patient relationship.
"As a doctor, I was not allowed to share what I knew... Namely, if you don't vaccinate, your children will be so much healthier."
— Dr. Paul
And while the petition wasn’t granted review, we were not alone in this fight. Four powerful amicus briefs were submitted in support—by the National Health Federation (NHF), Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN), the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), and experts James Lyons-Weiler and Dr. Russell Blaylock.
Their words spoke volumes:
“Vaccines are dangerous. Institutions are complicit in concealing the danger, and enriching the perpetrators. Dr. Thomas should be afforded the opportunity to expose in court the corruption, and in the process regain his license necessary to the proper functioning of his data collection and scientific publication.”
​— NHF Amicus Brief
“If the Ninth Circuit’s decision is permitted to stand... it will function as a blanket pardon for any wrongdoing by any medical board employee or staff member.”
​— ICAN Amicus Brief
“Absolute immunity is inappropriate for state officials who make licensure decisions... it becomes unsafe for any professional or licensee to speak out on controversial issues.”
​— AAPS Amicus Brief
We know why the case mattered. The truth was laid out. But the Supreme Court can only accept about 1% of the cases it's asked to hear. We were among the 99% that don’t make it through that narrow gate.
Still, the truth remains. And the movement continues.
We will not let this setback silence the growing awareness around medical freedom, informed refusal, and the corruption within captured institutions. Instead, we ask you to stand with us, speak louder, and help share what mainstream channels continue to suppress.
We invite you to:

We are not backing down. In fact, we are just getting started.
​One family, one doctor, one voice at a time.

Dr. Paul Thomas’ legal action against the Oregon Medical Board reaches a pivotal moment as the U.S. Supreme Court will consider his petition for a writ of certiorari at its conference on March 21, 2025.

​For years, Dr. Paul has fought tirelessly for informed consent, the right of patients and parents to receive full and transparent medical information. In return, the Oregon Medical Board stripped him of his license, silencing his ability to practice and preventing him from continuing his groundbreaking research. Now, his case is before the highest court in the land, and we ask for your prayers and support at this critical juncture.

​The Journey to the Supreme Court

This petition follows an extensive legal battle and the support of multiple amicus briefs filed on Dr. Paul’s behalf, reinforcing the fundamental rights at stake:
  • The Right to Discovery – To expose the actions of medical boards that target doctors for speaking out.
  • The Right to Free Speech – To protect doctors from being silenced when presenting science-based, patient-centered alternatives.
  • The Right to Medical Freedom – To ensure that informed consent remains a protected principle in healthcare.
​These briefs—filed by organizations such as the National Health Federation (NHF), the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN), and the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS)—highlight the grave consequences of suppressing medical truth and advocate for Dr. Paul’s right to a fair trial. They argue that his license was unjustly revoked, not based on patient complaints or harm, but because of his stance on medical freedom and informed choice

Why March 21st Matters

On March 21, 2025, the nine Supreme Court justices will meet to decide whether to hear Dr. Paul’s case. If granted, this would be a historic moment—not just for Dr. Paul, but for every physician and patient who values the right to informed medical decisions.

Join Us in Prayer

Dr. Paul has always believed in the power of faith, truth, and community. He is calling on everyone who supports medical freedom to pray on March 21st—that justice is served, that the truth is heard, and that the Supreme Court takes this case.
"I am deeply grateful for the incredible support and unwavering faith from all of you who stand with me in this fight for informed consent and medical freedom. As our petition reaches the Supreme Court, I ask for your prayers—prayers for justice, prayers for truth, and prayers that doctors everywhere may regain their right to speak openly and honestly with their patients. Together, we stand for our children, our families, and the future of ethical medicine."

​Defending Free Speech and the Right to Informed Consent Against Medical Board Overreach

Dr. Paul Thomas, ICAN amicus brief, informed consent, medical freedom, free speech in medicine
Hello to all health freedom friends and family,

I am honored to share that the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN) has filed an amicus brief in support of my case before the U.S. Supreme Court. ICAN has been at the forefront of advocating for transparency in medical decision-making, the right to informed consent, and ensuring that Americans have access to scientifically sound health information. Their brief is a powerful defense of medical freedom, exposing how state medical boards are being weaponized against doctors who simply provide patients with full and honest medical information​.

A Powerful Message from the Brief

"The Ninth Circuit’s decision calls out for this Court’s review for a myriad of reasons... More crucial, however, is the need for this Court to correct what will inevitably flow from this decision, which is the stifling of physicians’ speech and, with it, patients’ inability to give truly informed consent."
​— ICAN Amicus Brief​
This quote speaks to the heart of what is at stake—not just for me, but for every doctor who dares to uphold the fundamental principles of informed consent and free speech in medicine.

Document Summary: What ICAN’s Brief Argues

The ICAN amicus brief presents a clear and compelling case for why my fight matters—not just for me, but for the entire medical community and for every patient’s right to informed medical choices. Here are the main takeaways:
  • Defending Free Speech for Physicians – The brief argues that doctors should never face punishment simply for providing their patients with full, science-based information on medical procedures, including vaccines. Censoring medical professionals undermines trust in the doctor-patient relationship and erodes the right of individuals to make informed health decisions​.
  • The Oregon Medical Board’s Overreach – ICAN details how the Oregon Medical Board (OMB) revoked my medical license not because of any malpractice or harm, but simply because I offered parents a choice in how they approached vaccines. The brief argues that this is a clear violation of free speech protections and an attempt to silence any dissenting medical opinions.
  • Informed Consent is Non-Negotiable – The ICAN brief makes it clear: Informed consent requires that patients receive all relevant medical information, including risks and benefits, without coercion. The OMB’s actions violate this principle by attempting to dictate what doctors can and cannot say about medical interventions​.
  • The Need for Supreme Court Intervention – If this precedent is allowed to stand, any doctor who challenges the pharmaceutical-driven narrative could face career-ending retaliation. The brief urges the U.S. Supreme Court to take up this case and ensure that medical boards cannot silence physicians simply for presenting science that challenges the status quo.

​​Why This Matters to You 

This case is about more than just my ability to practice medicine—it’s about protecting the integrity of all medical professionals and ensuring that you, as patients, have access to truthful, comprehensive medical information. If doctors are afraid to speak out, patients lose their ability to make truly informed choices. No medical board should have the power to dictate what doctors can and cannot say when it comes to patient care. 
The ICAN brief makes it clear: This case is about stopping government overreach before it becomes the norm. We cannot allow unelected bureaucrats to silence science, control the doctor-patient relationship, and strip away our fundamental rights to free speech and informed medical decision-making.

Join Us in the Fight

This battle isn’t just mine—it’s ours. The support I have received from ICAN and many other organizations is a testament to the growing movement to protect medical freedom. But we need your help to keep the momentum going.
