I also noted that in 2012 the antivaccine an antivaxxer donated $40K to Darrell Issa's campaign and thereby a hearing by his committee examining autism and focused on vaccines as one potential cause.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2013/09/18/the-antivaccine-movement-tries-to-buy-political-influence/ …

There were definitely people sounding the alarm (like yourself and others). People just weren’t listening like they should have been. Thus we didn’t get a robust and coordinated effort from national health agencies to combat the anti-vax propaganda machine.
