      I see no flaw with this logic. Clearly pluto, along with vaccines are the cause of autism.

      And 98% of pluto is nitrogen ice. And 78% of earth’s atmosphere is what? NITROGEN

      therefore nitrogen causes autism, too

        At least in the US, that time frame is known for removing lead from gasoline and the beginning of disallowing smoking inside restaurants etc. So clearly, those harmful airborne particulates were bolstering our immune system. Without them… believe it or not, more autism.

        It could also be the steady decline in the pirate population, though that’s more closely associated with the cause of global warming:
