[For context, this is the comment he is replying to.]

TranscriptIn the 1800, people had an average lifespan of 30 years and one out of three children died before their 3rd birthday. Now the average lifespan around the world is 72.2 years, even with poor nations falling short of first world standards by a major degree. What happened? Medicine went from a collection of random notions about certain herbs being good for this and that and crude surgery in dirt and grime and came into it's own as a scientific study. Vaccinations are one of the most effective tools against myriad diseases preventing it before it became an issue.

As for Autism, consider, for example, Diogenes. A renowned Greek Philosopher who lived two millennia before the first Vaccine was given. He lived in a wine barrel and thought in a way which was counter to the way a lot of people did, but often had a logical frame of reference. His response to Alexander the Great praising him and offering him anything he wanted was "get out of my sunlight". This is the sort of behavior displayed by those with Autism. Dr Temple Grandin has argued that without autistic people we'd still be living in caves.

"Big Pharma" is an idiotic boogeyman.
