Nope, definitely not going to be lead pumped into the atmosphere or water cycle. Nor could it be the active groups freshly invented over the past century by industrial chemistry labs trying to find better refrigerants or organic catalysts. Nor benzene, asbestos, dioxins, or PCBs. And certainly not PERC.

Nor could it be epigentically induced via exposure of parents to these, and many other, pollutants capable of altering genetic code and causing chronic illness, in turn forcing lifestyles and stresses detrimental to health.

Whatever they find, I'm sure all those possibilities will be ruled out. And not because ruling them in would make capitalist profitability decline before the next earnings report.

I want to know what method these anti-science whack jobs are going to use to determine this cause? If you didn't like all the research the experts did into the underlying causes, WTF you gonna do differently?

Well, there are always healing crystal queries, prophetical epiphanies, 'gut feelings', hunches, data dowsing, straight up making shit up, opinions available for bid to the richest interest, and confirmation bias backed by headlines.

I think the worm controlling whatever is left of this guy's brain is afraid of vaccines.
