There have been four measles deaths in the U.S. in twenty years, while there are 100,000 autism cases a year and 38% of kids are diabetic or pre-diabetic. When the speaker was a child, pediatricians saw one case of diabetes in a career, but now one in three kids are diabetic or pre-diabetic. There used to be 2,000,000 measles cases a year with 400 deaths.
The speaker claims the media only covers measles, not the chronic diseases affecting kids. The U.S. spends almost a trillion dollars a year on diabetes and metabolic disorder, and by 2035, will spend a million dollars a year on autism. Autism in 1970 was one in ten thousand Americans, but today it's one in thirty-one and in California, one in twenty. The speaker believes the media should focus on these issues to find solutions and cures.
