How to End the Autism Epidemic Paperback – September 19, 2018
Purchase options and add-ons
In How to End the Autism Epidemic, Generation Rescue’s co-founder 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 thirty-eight 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 fifty. Or that in the 1980s, the rate of autism was one in ten thousand children. Today it’s one in thirty-six.
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. He then lays out, in detail, what the truth actually is: new published science links the aluminium adjuvant used in vaccines to immune activation events in the brains of infants, triggering autism; and there is a clear legal basis for the statement that vaccines cause autism, including previously undisclosed depositions of prominent autism scientists under oath.
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.

Review
“Addressing one of the most urgent issues of our time, J.B. Handley’s book How to End the Autism Epidemic shows us how we got here and what we need to do. It is a must read for every parent and health care professional.”―Zen Honeycutt, Moms Across America
“J.B. Handley is arguably the world’s most thoughtful, sophisticated, knowledgeable, and indefatigable activist for children’s health and safety. As a frontline leader for fifteen years, Handley has led the big fistfight against the Pharma Cartel to force the issue, broadcast the science, and expose the lies behind the vaccine policies that have created an epidemic of chronic disease among our children. Handley has helped bring the issue of toxins in medical products and regulatory corruption to a tipping point. Handley’s advocacy has lifted the curtain of lies behind which the autism epidemic has sprouted. When we end this cataclysm, it will be thanks to the dogged character of people like J.B. Handley who have refused to rest in his battle to support parents, protect children, bring justice to injured families, and to punish those responsible for one of the worst scandals in American history. Please read this book and decide for yourself if you still believe that vaccines are ‘safe and effective.’”―Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
“I honestly believe J.B. Handley wrote the book that will end the autism epidemic. As I sit here now, in stillness, I want to jump up and down with excitement, but I’m holding back rivers of tears. He breaks down the scientific information in a way that doesn’t intimidate the reader. And he lets us know it’s okay to be angry. His soul, his fight, his love for his son radiates off the pages. Wow. Bravo, bravo.”―Jenny McCarthy, author of Louder Than Words; coauthor of Healing and Preventing Autism
“This book is inspired, powerful, the unadulterated truth, and a must read. We have sacrificed too many children at the vaccine altar while our blind belief in the CDC and AAP, government, and the media has prevented us from seeing the conflicts of interest that enable big business and Big Pharma to profit at the expense of our children’s health. How to End the Autism Epidemic is one family’s story, but it is sadly also a story shared by millions of families. A beautiful normal baby, vaccinated, and then lost to autism and all the horrible medical conditions associated with immune devastation and brain toxicity. Thank you, J.B., for sharing your story and wisdom. Parents and future parents: Read this book now, and say No to business as usual and the status quo. If your pediatrician has not yet done his or her own research and is just parroting the ‘vaccines are safe and effective’ marketing phrase, it is time for you to get a new pediatrician.”―Paul Thomas, MD, coauthor of The Vaccine-Friendly Plan and The Addiction Spectrum
“I encourage everyone to read How to End the Autism Epidemic, which has the potential to spark a thoughtful and thorough review of how we can stop vaccine injuries among our nation’s children. A dedicated and passionate advocate for medical freedom, J.B. is also a father who has lived the experience no parent would want to endure. His life’s work is making sure everyone gets the information they need and vaccine-injured children and their families get the justice they deserve.”―Tim Knopp, Oregon State Senator
“As parents our job is to be concerned about our children’s health. Yet every day in doctors’ offices around the country, American parents are told we are being ‘irresponsible’ or ‘selfish’ just for asking questions about vaccines. We all want to keep our children safe and healthy, both from infectious diseases and from overexposure to toxins. It’s reasonable to be concerned that there are too many vaccines on the schedule and that medications like antibiotics, acetaminophen, and ADHD drugs are being over-prescribed. What’s a worried parent to do? For starters, read this book! Sharing his personal story as the father of a boy with autism and taking a close look at the most recent and rigorous science, Stanford-educated J.B. Handley shows how the CDC’s aggressive childhood vaccine schedule is connected to the astonishing rise in autism in the United States. How to End the Autism Epidemic is a direct challenge to the American public health establishment and a gift to the millions of parents who find themselves caught in the crosshairs―uncertain of what to think or do―of the seemingly intractable debate about vaccines.”―Jennifer Margulis, PhD, author of Your Baby, Your Way; coauthor of The Vaccine-Friendly Plan
“I have been thinking about the toxicity of aluminum for thirty-five years. It is my life’s work. Before we completed our recent research on aluminum in brain tissue in autism, I could not see a direct link between human exposure to aluminum and autism. I certainly saw no immediate role for aluminum adjuvants in vaccines in autism. The missing link was a mechanism whereby the brain would be subjected to an acute exposure to aluminum, for example, as occurs in aluminum-induced dialysis encephalopathy. Pro-inflammatory cells, some originating from blood and lymph, heavily loaded with a cargo of aluminum in brain tissue in autism provided that missing link. We all tolerate the toxicity of aluminum adjuvants in vaccines. Unfortunately, some of us are predisposed to suffer, as opposed to tolerate, the toxicity of aluminum adjuvants, and this may cause autism.
“Autism is a disease, and it is not inevitable. J.B. Handley’s elegant synthesis of what we know and what we need to know argues that autism could and should be preventable. I agree with him.”―Professor Christopher Exley, PhD, fellow, Royal Society of Biology; professor of bioinorganic chemistry, Keele University
“J.B. Handley tells it like it is. His new book is a masterful synthesis of all the latest threads of autism: the controversies, the science, the legal and policy battles, and the human dimension of the ‘movement’ that has inspired so many of us to become parent activists. Peppered with jaw-dropping new developments―including depositions from major vaccine science luminaries―Handley weaves a compelling narrative and cuts through the noise to make a powerful and convincing case. Read it. Process what he’s telling you. And then stand up and do something about it. The health of generations of children is at stake.”―Mark Blaxill, coauthor of The Age of Autism, Vaccines, 2.0, and Denial

- Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2019Vaccines are wonderful, Vaccines are great. That is what they tell us, and they say theres no debate. But one in forty children, may not think that its so swell. Autism isnt wonderful, though a few are smart as hell. 54% with chronic illness, highest infant mortality out of all. Maybe that should be the focus... instead of a border wall. So lets all send a cheer to them, for saving all the lives. Not testing against placebos... sure shows that they are wise. Six shots at once no problem! 10,000 Offit said just fine! I think that he should self test that, since a dozen he wont mind. Its not about the money (wink wink), of course they're not insane. Its likely just a side effect of the aluminum on the brain.
On the night following the two month well baby visit of JB Handley's son where he received six separate vaccines, his health started deteriorating and never recovered. JB started to watch his son decline physically after every vaccine appointment at 2 months, at 4 months, at 6 months and at 12 months following the recommended CDC vaccine schedule. He got eczema. His belly became distended. He had sleep disturbances and dark circles under his eyes and more. He kept going back into the doctor and saying, What's going on? What's happening with him? Where is this coming from? Then, shortly after his son turned 1 year old, he started to decline neurologically... He lost his words. He lost many of his normal mannerisms. He started doing these really unusual behaviors. Sadly, a story that is similarly shared by a large number of parents. JB at the time could never get a plausible explanation for what was happening, was told that their son would probably be institutionalized and not speak and when the Handleys asked if making changes in their son's diet would help, their doctor replied that this was merely a placebo for parents. Wanting to try every alternative to help their son, the Handleys sought treatment with DAN physician Dr. Lynne Mielke. His son's symptoms improved significantly with some interventions. Seeing such improvement, Handley decided to further research the connection between vaccines and autism and biomedical interventions, and his personal experiences ultimately motivated him to write this book. Included is the story of J.B.'s son, which gives readers a glimpse into the heartache and chaos vaccine injuries can cause families... as JB says "Everything about my life changed because of Jamison's diagnosis".
The discussion of vaccines and autism is quite explosive. Handley states that in order to end the epidemic, it's important to know what caused it and shares that while many environmental assaults are also contributing to the autism epidemic, one near universal exposure is to vaccines and among many other topics shares some of the research how vaccines can be contributing to the rise in autism and how the number of vaccinations that a child receives before the age of five has increased dramatically to nearly quadruple what a child received in the 1980's.
People over profit, NOT profit over people. That is the movement that needs to occur to help end the autism epidemic. A snowflake never blames itself for the avalanche, for it is just a small part of a much larger problem. It is easy for each individual person or company to see themselves as having no part in it. I see autism as the eventual avalanche being caused from a lot of snowflakes. Financial interests and greed are causing many health assaults all at the same time. With vaccines, its the focus on profit over the overall impact the entire schedule has on peoples health and lack of continued safety evaluation and improvement that are the problem. This is combined with the removal of most liability has led to the perfect storm of problems we see today and a continued rise in vaccine hesitancy. Multiple vaccines at once and combination vaccines increases risk of harm, having more vaccines increases the number of immune activation events that puts increased demand for nutrients on the body, many of whom are already overtaxed and depleted of them. Whatever your view on vaccination, I recommend to read this well written book which is in a easy to digest format to get a glimpse into the 'other side of the debate' on 'the science is settled', and hopefully will bring some peace to JB and bring the world yet one step closer in learning just how to end the autism epidemic.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2018I am an internist and nephrologist, and have signed thousands of vaccine orders in my career. It took me seeing my own patients developing new problems or worsening of their old problems, for me to even look at what is in a vaccine or investigate the likelihood that a vaccine could cause any problem at all. I believed they were doing more good than harm to my sick dialysis patients, and that they were just mostly killed microbial particles in sterile saline. I was so wrong.
Years after I found the efficacy of flu shots was nowhere near where the CDC and commercials advertised, I began to look into the pediatric vaccines. I was appalled at how many vaccines children were getting, and at such an early age, and that they were given even when sick, on antibiotics. Even more appalling was the number of very sick children we have today, compared to the 1960s to 1980, especially mental issues but also cancer and autoimmune issues.
I quit my job and took the issue of vaccination on full time, writing two books myself and lecturing around the world, revealing the peer-reviewed medical literature that proves vaccines are not safe, effective, or I dare say necessary. At least not as I was always taught they were. The polio story alone was enough to throttle me into full time research and writing because it was nothing of what I was taught in medical school and residency. Yet it is the first thing an ignorant believer will toss out when asked about vaccine safety.
After traveling the USA, Australia, UK and New Zealand, listening to parent after parent tell the same story of how their well meaning but incompetent pediatricians literally chemically lobotomized their children, my internal alarm bells were ringing loud. We have an epidemic of vaccine injury, and I will continue to show the evidence of that every chance I get.
I am so glad that a father like JB Handley was able to retire early to care for his son, and do the research it took to write this heart-wrenching and very scientific book. It is incisive, and well written. If you really want to know what vaccine court is and how protected the vaccine companies are, read this book. Pay attention to the section about the trial where Stanley Plotkin was called as an expert witness. It will have you laughing out loud and being horrified at the same time.
I highly recommend every parent, parent to be, and grandparent read this book BEFORE injecting any more vaccines. The choice must be parental and the parents need a full spectrum of knowledge in order to make these important decisions. JB gave parents and the brains and well-being of future generations a huge gift. I applaud him for his courage and wit, and thank God he was able to write this book. It should also be read by all medical doctors but especially pediatricians.

CesarReviewed in Mexico on May 17, 20195.0 out of 5 stars Libro que te educa.
Ya se sabe que es lo que causa la inflamación de cerebro que se presenta con sintomas parecidos o iguales al autismo. A los padres o futuros padres es un libro que deben leer.
CSavesReviewed in Canada on September 22, 20185.0 out of 5 stars Great read, very informative!
I finished the book yesterday. It was everything I had hoped for; really brought it all together.
I was sitting there after, thinking of who I should give copies to first, and that I should have ordered more as I have so many friends with kids. But soon this was replaced with the sad realization that most of those I care about won't read it anyway. Some will even be angry when I (try to) give it to them. The issue, as the author puts it, is "thermonuclear", and people feel passionately about protecting children's health on both sides, though it is much more complex than the simplistic dichotomy presented in media as pro or anti (perhaps the only topic where questioning a product makes you anti everything).
All I can say is please, for the love of god, your kids, the future you that may not be be so stubborn and ignorant - please read this book. Tell me it's wrong. Tell me it's lies, that the references don't check out, that the studies and the legal testimony are spurious. You say you would do anything for your children? Prove it.
What we choose to believe is irrelevant, the current ideology is not based on facts, but indoctrination.
READ THE BOOK.

VicenteReviewed in Spain on April 17, 20205.0 out of 5 stars Información vital que arroja mucha luz sobre un tema que parece que no se puede cuestionar.
Me leí el libro hace mucho tiempo, la primera semana que salió y lo hice en los días siguientes a la compra. El autor es un graduado de la prestigiosa universidad de Stanford en California. Desgraciadamente hay muchísimas corrupción en demasiado ámbitos de nuestra vida, en la política, alimentación, educación, tecnología. Esto que acabo de escribir no es una opinión, es como están las cosas. Dicho esto, cualquier persona que esté ponderando tener hijos, o que los va a tener y quiere contar con las mejores herramientas para tomar las decisiones importantes sobre la salud de sus hijos, que se haga el favor de indagar en el tema. Este libro os va a aportar una información que no es que no esté ahí fuera, pero el autor la presenta de una manera accesible y clara. Más allá de este libro, también existen otras fuentes validas fuera de lo establecido. Cada uno que tome sus propias conclusiones. Recordad que la verdad no se cuenta, se aprende.
Lindsey CantonReviewed in France on December 12, 20195.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommend
Excellent book and a must read for all parents!
ZeeRockReviewed in Germany on August 19, 20195.0 out of 5 stars Condemnation without investigation is the confirmation of your indoctrination
A great book! Thank you J.B.!
Everyone who has or wants to have children has to know the information provided here.
Its 2019 and some people still believe in vaccines and the propaganda that they are safe and effective.
Wake up and make your due diligence. That is your obligation, for your sake and all of humanity!
Believing is the enemy of knowing! Do you still believe or do you already know the truth about vaccines?
Greetings from Germany
