Thanks for the thoughtful comments. A few clarifications:
1)Parents in my practice are aware of the religious exemption in Virginia. My schedule is a starting point and is frequently delayed or modified by the parents.
2) Many patients opt out of polio vaccines early, since we discuss that the likelihood of an infant getting polio in the US approaches zero. Rationale for continued polio vaccine is a public health issue. We struggle with the balance between individual health vs. public health.
3) I used to give MMR as separate vaccines until it was no longer available separately.
4) Knock on wood I have not had any new cases of type 1 diabetes using my modified schedule. I have probably just tempted fate - hope I do not get a new diabetic this week.
5) I believe the Canadian study about delaying DTP reducing asthma was with the prior whole cell vaccine, not the current acellular DTaP.
6) A multi-variant analysis of various constellations of vaccine status using thousands of patients would be great, to correlate not just with autism but other chronic pediatric conditions.
7) No, I have not had deadly cases of pertussis or meningitis in my practice - but to be fair, my patients benefit from the heard immunity since other pediatricians locally adhere to the CDC schedule and sometimes send parents seeking modifications to the schedule to my practice.

Jeannette - I completely agree re: the whole university thing. Somehow or other, a basic education became not enough, then a college degree was not enough, now one must have a masters degree to complete? It's a false paradigm made to make people think that they are not smart enough. . . . and it makes someone else rich, right? Follow the money. Who is making money off of young adults being convinced to stay in college while at the same time corporations continue to offshore what used to be white collar jobs in the U.S. that were creating middle class power? What would happen if that middle class power had grown?

It's a common discussion in my circles that kids should no longer ignore private schools as an option for a college degree. Everyone around here is says that if you go to the private schools, they hand out grants & scholarships like free candy, i.e. no school debt when you get out if you know how to play the game. The rich just get richer or and least don't start out their paying careers with insurmountable debt obligations.

Maybe there will someday be enough folks that opt out of this false ideology to band together with their successful entrepreneurs and get those great brains to commit to hiring people with the idea that human being innately are learners & that with training and guidance, most people can step into a job and be successful at it, whether or not they hold a masters degree. George Washington, our first president, didn't attend college, but I think we can all agreed that he achieved great things. We can have great expectations again by changing the social perceptions that have been pushed down on the average citizen by others with a different agenda.

How about asking Google to try a 4- or 5-way vaccination-history search? Give each variant combination a separate silo:
(1) mother and child not vaccinated; mother, not child vaccinated; mother not, child vaccinated; mother, child both vaccinated;
(2) child not vaccinated; child first vaccinated 0-3 months; child first vaccinated 4-12 months; child first vaccinated 12-48 months; child first vaccinated 49-months to adolescence;
(3) child vaccinated singly; child vaccinated multiple (piggybacked);
(4) child vaccinated but never with alum adjuvant; vaccinated 1-3 times with alum adjuvant; 4+ times;
(5) child diagnosed with allergies; asthma; ADHD; autism; type II diabetes... etc.

I.e., multivariate analysis. These variations clearly don't cover the complex morass of possibilities but I haven't seen any study that takes a good stab at sorting them out. Maybe Google could be interested.

"Over and over, we’re seeing that even a modest adaptation to the CDC’s crazed vaccine schedule, and other out-of-control interventions, leads to a startling drop in autism – a drop to zero or thereabouts."

Yes this good doctor has made a great first step. She has demonstrated the insane "Schedule" is at least part of our problem.

IMO NO "Vaccination" no time no where for nothing.

BUT if you must "vaccinate.

1) No "Vaccination" until age 4. Let your poor child develop his brain before you assault it.

2) "Vaccinate" to the 1975 CDC Schedule. This was before the autism epidemic.

3) NO MMR and any other "vaccination" proven to be extremely toxic.

With these three provisos the "vaccination" is still going to damage your child but perhaps they may be able to recover.

Incidentally an amazing nexus just passed over my desk

1) Women are surpassing Men academically in quite a stark manner. Collage enrollment, IQ Testing, Medical School ect.

2) IMO this is a direct result of "vaccination". Autism is just a MARKER for the vast damage being done to our children. Just as the female's estrogen protects her somewhat from autism it is protecting her brain and body in MANY other ways from "vaccination".

Females are being damaged by "vaccination" they just are being damaged LESS than males.

We ignore this to our demise as a people. All species or sub-species which allow their offspring to be continuously and systematically damaged go extinct.

As Dr. Mumper suggested, combining all the evidence/data from like practicing pediatric practices may be an important way forward. Dr. David Berger has also spoken about similar results from similar patient practices. I think a very important contribution that could be made by Age of Autism is to assemble a panel of physicians who have prevented autism and then facilitate the presentation of their finding to any media outlets that will listen.

It is still vitally important to continue to demand epidemiologic studies. These physicians have made a number of changes so it will be difficult to attribute their success to any one change. The development of autism appears to be a function of total toxicant load so all of these things may be contributory but we will not know definitively without the epidemiology. Please note that the only thing completely eliminated from these practices was the use of acetaminophen. The epidemiology of this potential causal component is completely lacking.

I admire Dr. Elizabeth Mumper for her parent education videos. Her vaccine schedule changes are modest but maybe she is a bridge between the extremes of most pediatric practices and the alienation of parents who may avoid doctors all together. Anyway, I guess I don't know what to do about public policy. I prefer the unvaccinating route but that means that day care is complicated, diet has to be better, nursing longer, and also there is the problem of treating these diseases properly. I am afraid that the vaccination schedule is partly a product of working moms and a hectic lifestyle. What is more complicated, though, wild measles or novel measles among the vaccinated? And what about all those booster shots year after year until death do us part. I had all the childhood diseases and I don't have any boosters but in my day parents stayed home with kids who had the measles and it was no big deal. Kids died of accidents like falling out of trees-- I don't remember anyone ever dying of a childhood disease--even polio. If I had to do it over again I would not have given my kids any vaccines and I'm hoping my grandchildren don't get any. Big pharm and CDC can fall off the planet as far as I'm concerned

If there were no protections against vaccine manufacturers, every one of those vaccines mentioned would be at risk of disappearing from any schedule. This would not be a bad thing. That would do more to improve the health of children than any modified schedule. Changing the "schedule" leaves out the point of the vax argument: all vaccines are potentially dangerous.

Surely a vaccine schedule this brazen has resulted in the deaths of many children from vaccine-preventable illness. no? No? No?

Oh no!! Imagine the possibility: vaccinating safely, less autism, better for everyone except pharma's pocketbook.

I for one am delighted and grateful for this study. TACA and Ginger Taylor have really good lists of a large number of studies that connect vaccines and autism. However, you must have some knowledge of what is going on in autism to connect the dots. To my knowledge this study is the only study that directly, with simplicity that even a novice can understand, implicates vaccines to the increase in autism. For that I say kudos to Dr. Mumpers for giving us ammo to use when we are told that there is no published study linking the two. Whether you agree with her alternate schedule or not, she needs to know that there are some in our community who appreciate the effort that she made in publishing this study.

Did Dr Wakefield's suggestion of going back to individual Measles, mumps and rubella vaccinations separated in time, until such time that studies are completed that show that a damaging synergism does not exist when these vaccines are given at the same time!!1

I would not give any vaccine to my child now, I know to much about them. They are nothing but poisons and even don't protect against any disease. We don't need vaccines, we need a good selection of antibacterial and antiviral drugs, if needed. Vaccines are 19th-century medicines, not different than bleeding with a dirty knife. Also, I see to many unnecessary "healthy baby visits". A healthy baby does not need to see a doctor more often than once a year, in infancy may be 3 x a year just for a check up development. Usually, a healthy person visit to a doctor leads to iatrogenic disease.

I guess we are all have been so hurt - that we have missed the point. I did get it, as Truthseeker 2 said just a reduced a few vaccines and the good doctor reduced the numbers of kids with autism.

But do I want to go back from 1 out of 50 to again 1 out of 350 and just be satisfied?

Or will it this lead to something more kinder than that?

At two months, a child following Mumper's schedule is given a polio vaccine, despite the conclusive evidence that it was the radical changes the CDC made to the diagnostic parameters of paralytic polio in 1955, following on the heels of the release of the vaccine, and the subsequent total elimination of the diagnosis of non-paralytic poliomyelitis, the incidence of which had made up almost 60% of the cases annually reported as polio in the years leading up to the vaccination program, and a couple of other such deceptive and manipulative statistical devices on the part of the CDC, that eliminated the diagnosis of polio, not the vaccine.

Why?

Why?, when, made obvious by the above, in reality there's not a shred of proof that the polio vaccine has ever prevented a case of polio, while 734 IPV-associated deaths alone have been recorded in the CDC's database in the U.S., and we know that as few as 1% of actual serious adverse reactions ever get reported? - as per study findings once published in JAMA, and as per the mountain of anecdote from parents who witnessed their kids damaged by vaccines, but were oh so rarely made aware of the existence of a reporting system.

Statistical manipulation is the standard operating procedure of the vaccine industry. This is not only the age of autism. It's the age of three-year olds diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis; of infants in daycare, half of whom must receive nebulizer treatments several times daily because they're asthmatic, as well. The existence of a vaccine schedule, rather than its modification, is the issue.

Unfortunately, as far as I know there is no Dtap brand available in the US that is 100% thimerosal/mercury free in the U.S. Someone, please correct me if I am wrong.

I believe one can special order a mercury-free tetanus-only shot from Germany, and in my opinion that is the disease of concern for the Dtap anyway.

is any vaccine safe? IMHO, it is not. On any schedule. A predisposed child may be the problem here. If that child has enough oxidative stress, enough methylation weakness...one shot could cause autism, one. So the luck or the protocol she prescribed may be the reason, not the varied later schedule. Perhaps we can get a softer response from AAP if we said to them, stop giving antipyretics during vaccines, no abx's, and hold off for a while would actually hold off kids contracting autism? It would be worth going with that message, I suppose....but as I stated...minor brain dysfunction is not fun to go through life either...all vaccines harm...all of them. They are mutagenic and carcinogenic, and are ripe with contaminants, retroviruses and mycoplasma. NO THANKS~ If one child does not get the "A" word diagnosis....it can be the ADHD word, or minimally brain damaged, or worse SOCIALLY INEPT and VIOLENT the rest of their lives.....via accute to minor brain damage by inflammation? Or how about investigating if those same non autistic kids have allergies, asthma, obesity...shouldn't we continue the vax un vax question to include those disorders too? I would rather take my chances to contract INNOCUOUS non life altering week long illnesses meant to PURGE TOXINS...than a lifetime of life altering brain problems, behaviors and other "non autistic diagnosees".

Thank you to Dr. Mumper for practicing medicine and not whatever else it is that the majority of her colleagues are doing.

I wonder what impact Dr. Mumper's vaccine schedule and other practices have on the incidence of other disorders, especially, since she gives Hib, of Type 1 diabetes.

2,500 (1985), to 1 in 500 (1995)
all reflected birth cohorts born earlier.

1 out of 350 was "A Shot in the Dark" back in the early 80s.
