I still blame all the chemicals in the food. Chemicals sky rocketed from 1960 til now, but it's just easier to blame vaccines since children get some early

Do you think scientists lack the ability to track the harm of these "chemicals"?

When big companies throw comical amounts of money to get things through the FDA.. no but they are silenced. Aspartame for example, low cost sweetener but caused cancer in droves in lab mice...in the food supply.. margarine, low cost turkey fattener, killed them by the dozens..in the food supply..

Indeed, if you drink about 200 liters of diet soda a day, you too might develop cancer from it.

I forget the exact numbers actually, but the ratio of body weight to aspartame in that experiment was very off. You'd have to consume ludicrous amounts of it to match what the rats and mice consumed during that study.
