“...and again in 2008 in the wake of a leaked report that the mercury-based vaccine preservative Thimerosol, was contributing to the massive rise in childhood autism.”
This is not true. A lie repeated a bunch of times is still a lie.

Is this another one of those tinfoil hat vaccine conspiracy nutballs?
Because we all know TB, whooping cough, measles, rubella, etc. are much much better than them suspicious gummit-run needle thingies.

There was allergy and anaphylaxis prior to 1901 (the 1901 experiment that named anaphylaxis involved injecting dogs with sea nettle venom). That was when someone wrote it up, but that does not mean it started then any more than the “ozone hole” was “created” in 1973.
It’s pretty rare, and did not seem to become prevalent until there was a growing sense of entitlement in the USA helped by lawyers. Parents forcing schools to become peanut-free made the news and the concept spread, so there was a need to track prevalence in the population.
BTW the first report of human death by anaphylaxis involved green beans, not peanut. Anaphylactic death from insect stings certainly happened prior to 1901.

"it seemed to escape notice that the molecular weights of proteins in the Hib B were almost identical to those in peanut" What in the world have the molecular weights to do with anything? It's the proteins' structure that determines reactions, not their weights.
I mean, carbon monoxide has the same molecular weight as nitrogen, but if the atmosphere we breathed was 78% carbon monoxide, we'd be really really dead.

I don’t think it’s appropriate to bring up scientific points on a thread of this nature.

Look at the current herd of Czars, advisors, and intellectual inspirational characters of this
coup administration. Determine the common subtext and pattern of their underlying motivations.
Is it to increase the number of human beings who thrive on this blessed planet, and to increase the resources available to them and their progeny so that they may awake every morning and express genuine thanks to their Creator for their bounty?
Or is it to decrease the number of human beings, period, so that a healthy ruling class can emerge unscathed from a parched and barren landscape of dying and diseased paupers who question, every night, the reason for waking up in the morning except to receieve crumbs from their masters ample table?
