J.B. Handley

J.B. Handley is a distinguished advocate, author, and entrepreneur whose work has established him as a leading voice in uncovering vaccines as a potential cause of autism spectrum disorder. He graduated with honors from Stanford University in 1987, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and East Asian Studies. He began his career in private equity, co-founding Swander Pace Capital in 1996, where he excelled as a managing director overseeing multi-million-dollar consumer-product investments.

In 2004, following his son’s autism diagnosis, he shifted focus to advocacy, sacrificing lucrative business opportunities to investigate vaccine-related causation of autism, and co-founded a nonprofit dedicated to autism recovery and vaccine safety. His seminal 2018 book, “How to End the Autism Epidemic,” argues that the expanded childhood vaccine schedule, particularly aluminum adjuvants, plays a role in autism.

In 2021 he co-authored “Underestimated: An Autism Miracle” with his son Jamison and co-produced the documentary “Spellers,” highlighting communication breakthroughs for nonverbal individuals with autism. As a pioneer in the MAHA movement, his work continues to drive scrutiny of vaccine safety and demand accountability in public health.
