Publisher's Summary

In How to End the Autism Epidemic, Generation Rescue’s cofounder J.B. Handley offers a compelling, science-based explanation of what’s causing the autism epidemic, the lies that enable its perpetuation, and the steps we must take as parents and as a society in order to end it. 

While many parents have heard the rhetoric that vaccines are safe and effective and that the science is settled about the relationship between vaccines and autism, few realize that in the 1960s, American children received three vaccines compared to the 38 they receive today. Or that when parents are told that the odds of an adverse reaction are “one in a million”, the odds are actually one in 50. Or that in the 1980s, the rate of autism was one in 10,000 children. Today it’s one in 36. Parents, educators, and social service professionals around the country are sounding an alarm that we are in the midst of a devastating public health crisis - one that corresponds in lockstep with an ever-growing vaccine schedule.

 Why do our public health officials refuse to investigate this properly - or even acknowledge it? 

In How to End the Autism Epidemic, Handley confronts and dismantles the most common lies about vaccines and autism. While Handley’s argument is unsparing, his position is ultimately moderate and constructive: We must continue to investigate the safety of vaccines, we must adopt a position of informed consent, and every individual vaccine must be considered on its own merits. 

This issue is far from settled. By refusing to engage with parents and other stakeholders in a meaningful way, our public health officials destroy the public trust and enable the suffering of countless children and families.

It was like listening to the story of my son.

Book was very factual and very well sited. describes the regression we saw in my son very accurately. A must read for anyone having a child or with a child recently diagnosed on the spectrum.

Is anybody looking out for safety or our children??

I have been following the vaccine issue for some years now. It’s time to develop a system to test safety and efficacy of vaccines and to ensure product safety by the removal of blanket protection of manufacturers. This is a chemistry experiment gone bad using US citizens as lab rats .

Best book on the Autism epidemic I have ever read

I have listened to this book so many times now. Each time its impact only gets greater. JB Handley has written a book that is so chock full of evidence of why children today are so sick, unhealthy and on the spectrum that I am dumbfounded as to how anyone could read it and not be sent spiralling into massive cognitive dissonance. Its a rabbit hole that most will turn around in and hop right out again because it sure isn't a comfortable journey. JB is obviously an intelligent man and loving father who has spent the last 15 years asking the questions most of us dont think to ask because we have become slovenly at critical thinking. We expect that our governments, pharma corporations and the medical institutions have our backs... look around you..if all was as it should be we would all be way, way healthier. Time to take back ownership of our bodies and minds...

For every parent (and every pediatrician)

I love this book for detailing what has happened in our vaccine court (and in the pharmaceutical industry) that so few people are aware of. The sworn testimony from two experts from Johns Hopkins stating that vaccines can cause autism in a certain subset of children is validating for so many parents. I love that everything in this book is verifiable by testimony under oath or peer-reviewed science. This book is a go-to for all parents. And every pediatrician in this country needs a copy of this book.

A must read for ANY parent

Read it! You won’t regret it! Even if you plan on fully following the schedule it’s good to be informed of all your choices and their risks! I am so grateful to the author for how well it’s presented! Will buy the book in paperback to add to my collection!

Wow!!!!!!

This book is incredible. I am so glad that JB Handley wrote this book. I have a son with autism as well and I totally felt everything that was said in this book. I even cried at the end because those are the same words I tell my son. I recommend everyone to read or hear this book.

amazing book

I can't help but replace each story of JBs with memories and struggles of our own. To replace the word Autism with the "Gut dysfunction, behavioral distress and general hypersensitivities" which is what our daughter struggles with daily. She will turn 5 next week and I often wonder if her story would be different had I not said Ok to those shots... How our family would NOT have been destroyed financially and emotionally crippled by multiple injections.

But, I thank GOD for opening my eyes even though it took 3 years. I thank him for not taking my baby through Autism or Death. I pray everyday that she does not get cancer. I pray that she can get through school with no accidents or tantrums. I try not to beat myself up because I tried to speak up. Our pediatrician did not listen and now my innocent child suffers.

I enjoyed everything about this book from reviewing what I already knew to learning stuff I didn't know. If there was one thing I would change, I would put further emphasis on the children that fall somewhere below an ASD dx. (Which of course defeats the titling.) Meaning those kids who are not Autistic but clearly have a vaccine injury. That huge crack where there are no gov't programs, no nonprofits, no public figures speaking out.

After my baby was hospitalized with a vaccine injury, we had nowhere to turn for help. Who advocates for the 1 day olds? Who is the voice for the 2, 4 and 6 month olds who suffer? These families are bedside, no income, no voice. Then they get sidelined again when it comes to medical exemption from school because they were not injured enough the first 4 or 5 or 7 times. It is absolutely immoral. Ask me how I know.

If there is risk there must be choice AND proper science.

Not just for parents concerned about autism

If you are questioning or even just curious about why many parents with autism believe their child’s regression into Autism was due to a vaccine appointment, this is for you. If you are wondering why so many in the younger generations have mounting autoimmune disorders, food allergies, eczema, and other conditions, this book is for you. If you don’t want to vaccinate, but you’re not exactly able to communicate why or feel capable to stand up to a doctor, pediatrician, or even your spouse who thinks you’re completely wrong and insane, this is for you. And then have your spouse listen, too. Thank you Mr. Handley for putting together easily digestible science with your personal story. Thank you for your passion. I, too, hope Jameson will be able to read this book one day. I’m sure he’ll cry at the end like I did. You’re an incredible father. -KW

Wow! Wow! Wow! A must listen.

So much wisdom shared in this book, wrapped in JB's personal story and supported by science.

Much hope that we are getting closer to ending this epidemic and turning the tide towards health, for the sake of all our children.

This book is easy to follow for people new to the world of autism, yet contains a depth of knowledge that will open the eyes of many who have been on this road for years.

Thank-you JB for writing this book.

Important, topical & readable

This book discusses immunological diseases, vaccine safety & efficacy, the pharmaceutical industry in general & its heavy lobbying of govts. And it focuses specifically on what seem to be the strong links between vaccines & autism. The author is American. His first two children were vaccinated & were fine, but his third regressed into severe autism after vaccination. Hence his particular interest & knowledge, though he isnt opposed to vaccines in principle.

In USA we are given to understand that vaccines are administered at a much higher rate to infants than in UK, about 3x as much. And there has been an explosion in the last 30 years in the number of children with autism & immunological conditions like asthma & food allergies. Something like 3% of vaccinated children in USA have autism as a lasting or developing health impairment which campaigners believe is in large part a consequence of their treatment. Book came out in 2018 so is reasonably up to date.

This is a very readable level-headed book, not too heavy handed & very illuminating in exposing the PR techniques used by the pharma industry. The terms "tobacco science" & "tobacco playbook" are often used, in comparison to the PR techniques, corruption & selective science that were used by the tobacco industry for many decades whilst they were denying the link between smoking & cancer. Same machinations went on in the fossil fuel industry in their persistent denial of climate change. Now it appears that it is big pharma which are using the same techniques to boost & protect their highly profitable industry. Jab away!!

very interesting read and so glad I read this

absolutely love this book. Full of facts and knowledge. I now have many questions for my GP and have been swayed into vaccinating my daughter until I look into things further I have decided to prolong her jabs or not have them done until my research has been complete. highly recommend anyone reads this before deciding to vaccinate their child

Every parent should be required to read this book before vaccinating their child

This is not conspiracy theory. This is an undisputed forensic analysis of how vaccines cause autism. 1/36 kids now develop autism. An inflammatory immune response to a culmination of aluminium adjuvants within multiple vaccines. Two MIT grad parents have a child that suddenly develops autism post vaccine and so they begin a 15 year journey to gather the worlds foremost Nobel prizewinning experts to uncover the truth. Vaccines are responsible for causing autism.

To Big to Fail

The information that J.B. Handley provides in this book is crucial to the discussion of the true cost of the vaccination program. The public remains ill-informed about the impact of vaccinations on the most venerable in our society as do our doctors. And their isn't much sign of this condition changing while the conflicts of interest that exist between the media and the pharmaceutical industry continue. Anyone who understands how capitalism works will understand that what we are seeing is a re-run of Tobacco Industries Playbook. In the end... its just business and Pharma's business must obtain its objective at any cost to the public. The vaccination program is just to big to fail.

The most treacherous topic made accessible

Finally my review of the "How to end the autism epidemic" book.

Whether you are new to this topic or a veteran, navigating the depths of the vaccine and autism science is a treacherous terrain to step into.

The under oath depositions of Dr. Plotkin, Dr. Kelley and Dr. Zimmerman all top scientists in their field, are finally sorting the facts from fiction of what is currently known to be true. This alone is a reason why this book should be read by every pediatrician or parent still conflicted and looking for clear answers.

The chapter on the genesis of autism discusses 11 of the most recent and groundbreaking biological studies that piece by piece build a picture of the very plausible mechanism of harm.

Its hard not to gasp in disbelief, interchangeably feel furious and triumphant while reading the depositions.
Some of the passages are so unbelievable, they read like a crime thriller.

It is hard to accept the level of deception happening at such high levels, especially with regards to sealing vital information from the public!

Having listened to this book, re-listened again I am now reading some of the chapters and a thought that comes up is that indeed JB Handley could not have chosen a better title.

My biggest hope is that this book becomes available in other languages to make waves around the world, finding it's way to the hands of pediatricians, autism parents, legislators and scientists that together will help to end the autism epidemic.

Thank you for all you have done JB. Your son is a gift thanks to whom you are fulfilling your higher purpose.
