    With the Wind with Dr. Paul — Podcast 207: Pediatric Perspectives: Unvaccinated Kids, Parents Challenges with Katherine Sigblad Copy

    shows-by-with-the-wind-ndash-science-revealed-with-paul-thomas-md

    What does it look like to raise unvaccinated children with confidence — navigating hospitals, schools, and community while staying grounded in your choices?

    I'm joined this week by Katherine Sigblad, host of the Mom's Off the Record podcast and mother of two unvaccinated children in Florida. Katherine brings the perspective of a mom who has thought deeply about these choices — not from theory, but from lived experience. Her eight-week-old daughter's hospital visit tested everything she believed about navigating the medical system, and she came through it with insights worth sharing.

    With the Wind with Dr. Paul — Podcast 206: Pediatric Perspectives: Risk Factors for Autism with Peter McCullough, M.D.

    with-the-wind-podcast

    What does the most comprehensive scientific review of autism determinants ever published tell us — and what does it mean for parents making vaccine decisions today?

    In this episode of Pediatric Perspectives, I'm joined by Peter McCullough, M.D. — one of the world's most published cardiologists, an epidemiologist, and the lead author of what may be the most comprehensive scientific document on autism spectrum disorder ever produced. His McCullough Foundation report, Determinants of Autism Spectrum Disorder, spans 52 pages with 308 references and extensive supplemental material. Dr. McCullough entered this arena not from a place of advocacy but from an epidemiologic one: when the numbers stopped making sense, he followed the data.

    Show Notes:

    With the Wind with Dr. Paul – Show 206: Pediatric Perspectives: Risk Factors for Autism with Peter McCullough, M.D.

    Host: Dr. Paul Thomas

    Guest: Peter McCullough, M.D. Cardiologist, epidemiologist, and lead author of the McCullough Foundation Report: Determinants of Autism Spectrum Disorder

    Series: Pediatric Perspectives

    Length: Approximately 34 minutes

    Summary

    In this episode of With the Wind with Dr. Paul, Dr. Paul Thomas is joined by Peter McCullough, M.D. for a deep examination of the McCullough Foundation's comprehensive report, Determinants of Autism Spectrum Disorder — a 52-page, 308-reference scientific document that Dr. Paul calls "a masterpiece."

    The conversation traces autism prevalence from 1 in 10,000 in the 1960s to 1 in 31 nationally as of 2022, with 27% of those children classified as profoundly autistic. Dr. McCullough explains why genetics alone cannot account for this rise and walks through the risk factors his team identified: genetic polymorphisms that create vulnerability, premature birth, older parents, in-utero drug exposures, and — at the center of the report — the role of vaccines triggering post-encephalitic autism in predisposed children. The discussion covers the 136 vaccine-related studies reviewed, why 29 "neutral" studies fail on closer inspection, and the 12 studies demonstrating that a healthy child born today remains healthier without vaccines. Dr. McCullough also addresses the Tylenol controversy, the universal hepatitis B vaccine, and his vision for risk-stratified, evidence-based vaccination.

    Key Points

    • 00:01:35 — Dr. Paul opens the show and introduces Dr. Peter McCullough as one of the world's leading cardiologists and most published experts on COVID-19
    • 00:02:22 — Dr. McCullough describes how he never considered the vaccine–autism connection until the COVID-19 pandemic brought the autism epidemic into focus
    • 00:04:36 — Prevalence data: 1 in 10,000 in the 1960s to 1 in 31 nationally in 2022, with an inflection point around 1986
    • 00:07:09 — Overlap between autism, ADHD (approximately one-third), epilepsy, seizures, and tics
    • 00:10:35 — The epidemiologic approach: autism has no single cause; the report analyzes risk factors, not absolute causes
    • 00:11:00 — Risk factors: common genetic variants (MTHFR polymorphism), premature birth, older parents, in-utero drug exposures (anticonvulsants, antidepressants, antipsychotics, opioids)
    • 00:12:55 — Tylenol: Dr. McCullough explains why the Ahlqvist study in JAMA (2024) demonstrated Tylenol is not independently linked to autism
    • 00:15:09 — Vaccination during pregnancy combined with Tylenol may present amplified risk
    • 00:17:30 — How risk factors create predisposition — and why the vaccine bundle triggers encephalitis in vulnerable children
    • 00:18:26 — Premature infants vaccinated on schedule: JAMA randomized trial confirmed increased apnea; implications for SIDS
    • 00:19:45 — A child with an autistic sibling is at 5–10 fold increased risk
    • 00:20:10 — Twenty vaccines list encephalitis in their package inserts; Dr. McCullough's hypothesis: autism represents a post-encephalitic state
    • 00:21:41 — NEJM vignette: one-third of surveyed doctors would refuse a family who declined the MMR vaccine
    • 00:22:45 — Mandy Cohen's editorial and the mythology of vaccine-preventable disease: diseases without vaccines (bubonic plague, rheumatic fever, syphilis, TB) all came under control
    • 00:24:44 — 136 vaccine-related studies reviewed: 29 found neutral or no association (but used contaminated control groups), 107 showed a possible link
    • 00:26:15 — Key finding: 12 studies demonstrate a healthy child born today remains healthier if they receive no vaccines whatsoever
    • 00:27:08 — CDC quietly changed its website statements three weeks after the McCullough Foundation report was published
    • 00:28:45 — Hepatitis B vaccine: why universal birth dosing is unnecessary for 3.6 million babies when only 25,000 are born to seropositive mothers
    • 00:30:33 — Dr. McCullough's vision: risk-stratified, evidence-based vaccination instead of one-size-fits-all mandates
    • 00:31:46 — Vaccines are safer individually than in combinations, and safer later in life
    • 00:32:46 — A positive close: recovery story of a young woman with vaccine-induced Guillain-Barré syndrome

    Quote

    "We do believe autism represents a post-encephalitic state. Twenty vaccines have in their package inserts that the vaccines themselves cause encephalitis or brain inflammation. So why wouldn't we think that there is a brain inflammation that occurs — whether clinically recognized or not — and then the post-encephalitic state? That makes sense." — Peter McCullough, M.D.
