Not sure why you are downvoted.

Maybe because your comment is not the assuring "vaccines don't cause autism" and people already chose the assuring narative.

Vaccines do cause a lot of bad stuff, however for mass population it makes sense to vaccinate, as the benefits outweight the drawbacks.

How about the “are all basically the same disease and they will be resolved in what will be known as the "metabolic revolution" in medicine” part?

If that’s not snake oil I don’t know what is.

i think usually snake oil is something you pay money for. in this case, im just expressing my opinion which is that there is a very significant medical breakthrough in the pipes and that it is best summarized as a "metabolic revolution." this is because it has to do with metabolic dysfunction and the pathologies that are caused by it. the connection between inflammation and metabolism is a very exciting area of research. PERK and eif2a are a good example.

Medicine has gone through numerous revolutions. Not asserting the truth or falsity of the comment above, but it's not unreasonable to think we're missing large pieces of the puzzle. I'm reliably informed that a similar revolution is happening right now with immunology.
