and the wakefield paper came out and i remember that because i think rachel was about five years old at the time and you know and it was all over the papers and of course anne was asking me about it and to me it never made sense and said how can it be that i mean i mean they called it pervasive developmental disorder back then for a reason because it was indeed pervasive and and you could see that you know a lot of these kids were macrocephalic they had enlarged heads and uh um and so this was clearly a neuroanatomical condition i mean you knew that there were shifts in purkinje fibers and and and and there were structural alterations in the brain of kids with autism how can it be that a vaccine you give it one year of age would would cause that it just never made any sense to me
