A major new study from a leading expert in Australia has concluded that “vaccine schedules are causing the autism epidemic.”
During the study, Dr. Toby Rogers, a political economist with a PhD from the University of Sydney, analyzed hundreds of research papers related to autism cases in the United States.
Rogers has now published a sweeping overview of more than 850 U.S.-based studies on the causes of autism.
The results of the study, published on Dr. Rogers’ Substack page uTobian, build on his earlier academic work and present what he calls a “meta-level” analysis of the scientific literature on autism causation.
Rogers has identified what he believes is a clear pattern and a roadmap to ending the autism epidemic.
He argues that the mainstream scientific establishment has failed to uncover the true drivers of autism, not because of a lack of research, but due to what he describes as widespread bias and flawed assumptions in how studies are conducted.
He points specifically to more than 20 studies published since 2000.
Those studies conclude there is no association between vaccines and autism.
However, these studies are misleading.
According to Rogers, they contradict the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) own internal research.
CDC data shows that both MMR and thimerosal-containing vaccines do, in fact, contribute to autism risk.
The article also critiques the decades-long attempt to prove that autism is genetically determined.
Rogers notes that despite the U.S. government investing $2 billion into genetic research and further efforts by private foundations, no genetic variant has been found to account for more than 1% of autism cases.
“They failed categorically,” Rogers wrote, asserting that these studies often rely on circular logic and ignore environmental and vaccine-related factors entirely.
Rogers is particularly critical of four large-scale epigenetic studies, which he claims all share a common flaw: they assume from the outset that vaccines are safe and therefore fail to include unvaccinated control groups or examine vaccination as a potential variable.
He describes this as “standard practice,” arguing that these studies ignore toxicants in vaccines while simultaneously investigating the same toxicants in environmental exposure — a contradiction, he says undermines their conclusions.
Rogers then shifts to what he sees as the more credible body of research.
He cites a 2018 study that found that up to 88% of autism cases are characterized by autistic regression.
This autistic regression is a sudden and dramatic loss of previously acquired skills, such as speech, eye contact, and social interaction, he explains.
According to Rogers, this points to an acute toxic exposure event, which, in countless parent reports, follows routine “well baby” vaccination appointments.
Rogers highlights six studies comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated children, which he argues are the “holy grail” of autism research.
He claims these studies show that vaccination increases the risk of autism by a factor of four, with certain risk combinations — such as vaccination plus premature birth, C-section delivery, or absence of breastfeeding — leading to dramatically higher odds ratios of 12 to 18 times the baseline risk.
“We know what’s causing the autism epidemic,” Rogers concludes.
“The bloated, unscientific, profit-driven CDC vaccine schedules are causing the autism epidemic.”
He calls for a reassessment of current public health policies and a deeper, more transparent evaluation of the risks he believes are being overlooked.
The vaccines are causing “autism risk to skyrocket,” he warns.
“That’s what’s causing the autism epidemic, according to the best available scientific evidence.”
