In a stunning rebuke of the entrenched medical establishment, Dr. Toby Rogers, a distinguished political economist and Brownstone Institute Fellow, delivered explosive testimony before the U.S. Senate, systematically dismantling the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) decades-long narrative on autism. With meticulous precision, Dr. Rogers exposed what he termed a “genetic myth,” shredding the flimsy studies and revealing the hidden data that he asserts conclusively proves vaccines are a primary driver of the nation’s devastating autism epidemic. This testimony stands as a direct indictment of the failed policies long championed by a complicit liberal media and a deep-state bureaucracy.
Dr. Rogers recounted his personal journey into this research, sparked by the autism diagnosis of his then-partner’s son in 2015. As a PhD student trained to scrutinize primary sources, he immediately identified the glaring inconsistencies in the CDC’s official stance. He methodically dismantled the agency’s three primary excuses for the explosion in autism cases, revealing a web of scientific deception designed to protect powerful interests at the expense of the nation’s children.
“Claims that autism is genetic don’t make sense because autism prevalence was rising too fast — there’s no such thing as a genetic epidemic,” Rogers testified, highlighting the fundamental illogic at the core of the CDC’s public-facing narrative. This statement alone eviscerates the cornerstone of a propaganda effort that has misled the American public for generations, a propaganda effort the mainstream media has consistently amplified without question or critical scrutiny.
The CDC’s secondary arguments were revealed to be equally hollow under Dr. Rogers’ examination. He noted that blaming obscure drugs like valproic acid and thalidomide was a purposeful diversion, as they “could only explain a handful of cases.” Similarly, the claim that advanced parental age is a major factor collapsed under the weight of the data, showing “modest” effect sizes that are “insufficient to explain the surge in autism prevalence.” This left only one plausible explanation that the agency and its media allies have desperately tried to bury.
The heart of Dr. Rogers’ testimony focused on the voluminous research that the CDC and its partners in the pharmaceutical industry have intentionally ignored or suppressed. He revealed that the two dozen studies often cited to claim “vaccines don’t cause autism” are scientifically “worthless,” a damning assessment based on a critical flaw: “not a single one used a true unvaccinated control group.” This deliberate methodological failure points to a coordinated cover-up of monumental proportions.
Meanwhile, a relentless and fruitless search for a genetic cause has consumed over “$2.3 billion dollars” with “almost nothing to show for it,” a massive misallocation of resources that served only to obfuscate the truth. Dr. Rogers pointed senators to a series of independent, suppressed studies that reveal the terrifying truth, including work by Gallagher & Goodman showing the birth dose of Hepatitis B vaccine “significantly raises autism risk,” and Anthony Mawson’s research concluding “Vaccinated children are at least 4.2 times more likely to develop autism.”
Perhaps the most damning evidence comes from the eyewitness testimony of “thousands of parents” who report a consistent pattern of normal development followed by a devastating “autistic regression almost immediately after a so-called ‘well-baby’ vaccine appointment.” This real-world evidence, dismissed by elitist experts and a condescending media, provides the most powerful corroboration of the data.
A stunning testimony from political economist Dr. Toby Rogers, PhD, before the U.S. Senate. He dismantles the official narrative on the autism epidemic with data, evidence, and a powerful personal story.

This groundbreaking testimony underscores the critical importance of the leadership of President Donald Trump, who has consistently championed medical freedom, exposed deep-state corruption, and given a platform to the voices that the establishment tried to silence. It is a powerful vindication of his America First agenda, which prioritizes the well-being of citizens over the profits of globalist pharmaceutical giants and the lies of their media enablers.
