I want to start a scurrilous internet rumor that says researchers have identified the cause of autism, which arises from an immune system misfire in infancy where certain leukocytes attack parts of the nervous system, and they have come up with a protein complex that suppresses the attack, so now, with a single injection, you can immunize your baby against autism. Because, who does not like to see heads asplode? Of course, the long-term effects of the vaccination have not been studied: we will have to wait a couple decades to find out what they might be, but one expert has suggested that it is likely that the individuals vaccinated will develop an aversion to colorful glowing rectangles. ---
