I could use another brogrammer to verify some of what I'm seeing. I expected I could just mention this to a researcher and be done, but I'm being attacked for mentioning possibilities.

There was a catalyst in 1975 when vaxx rates doubled and kept doubling every 5 years, the graphs reflect that, imho. Other countries data should confirm or deny.

I downvoted you for using 'brogrammer' and for pushing bunk science.

Correlation Z: Rates of cancer have increased at the same time as the number of articles claiming vaccines cause autism have increased.

> being attacked for mentioning possibilities.

Given the tone of what you wrote in the linked thread, I think that the redditors there showed surprising civility.

I doubt you're going to get a more favorable response here than you did there.
