And come up empty again.

Conspiracy theorists do it all the time.

Sadly typical of this OP.

I don't trust anything posted on YouTube without verifying it from reliable sources.

The YouTube algorithm does not reward truth, it rewards anger and outrage.

The *rate* at which autism is diagnosed is actually in line with many other states:

Where IS that "like" button when I need it?!?!?!

It was, for a while, no kidding, thought that all the Asperger kids who were computer whizzes were moving here for tech jobs and then interbreeding and raising Asperger's or Autism rates via "intellectual/neurological inbreeding."

Not true, but interesting to see how people theorize.

Poppers cause AIDS; being gay is a lifestyle choice; the reasoning for prohibition was that alcohol caused domestic violence, child abandonment, and political corruption; people don't shoot people, guns do; Covid Vaccines have nano-chips; vaccines cause autism; chem trails; God uses earthquakes to punish California, and Hurricanes in Florida are caused by allowing abortion...the list of crazy shit we see people embrace is eerily similar to thinking the Volcano God requires virgin sacrifice.

Contagious idiocy seems real.

Rational up to the part that "people don't shoot people, guns do".
