Although Dr. Douglas Hulstedt himself is without a doubt that vaccines caused 40%-50% of the autism cases he saw in his practice, he told Steve Kirsch during an interview that vaccines cause up to 90% of the autism cases according to a doctor practicing family medicine in Louisiana who has treated over 8,000 cases.
Below is an interview with former paediatrician Dr. Douglas Hulstedt who speaks of his own experiences of autism as a doctor as well as the experience of others. He can now speak freely because they took away his license for writing one – ONE – vaccine exemption.
Dr. Hulstedt has been a long-time advocate for voluntary vaccination. In 2019, as measles outbreaks in California drove officials to end or tighten exemptions based on personal beliefs or medical issues, Dr. Hulstedt told the Monterey County Weekly he considered forcing children to be vaccinated “a criminal act.”
During 2014 and 2020, at the request of a father embroiled in a custody battle who did not want his son vaccinated, Dr. Hulstedt wrote vaccine exemptions for him. However, the mother of the child wanted him vaccinated. An accusation was filed in court against Dr. Hulstedt. In January 2021, the court ordered the boy to be vaccinated. The next day the father shot and killed his son and then turned the gun on himself.
The mother later filed a complaint with the Medical Board which placed Dr. Hulstedt under scrutiny for gross negligence due to lacking “basic medical knowledge” and/or engaging in “repeated negligent acts in providing vaccine exemptions” for the child. In March 2023, Dr. Hulstedt lost his medical licence.
Since 2000, Dr. Hulstedt has seen 150 autism cases. Of those, 74, 40-50% became autistic as a result of the childhood vaccines, he told Kirsch, 44 of which were “overnight” where the child was normal one day and began exhibiting multiple obvious symptoms of autism rapidly.
All 44 “overnight” cases happened within 2 weeks after a vaccine was given. There were no such cases before vaccination.
It is statistically impossible that vaccines don’t cause autism, Kirsch tweeted. In the tweet below, Kirsch shows that the calculation of Dr. Hulstedt’s observations is impossible if the vaccines don’t cause autism:
