ACIP is no longer a legitimate scientific body.

Period.

This is a goat rodeo of radical anti-vaxxers.

Conway: This is a criminal government. Unless you are willing to say that, you’re basically fighting on their terms. They get to lie, and they win that battle because people say, “We shouldn’t use that kind of language.”

But you get to use that language when it’s fucking true.

All too true, and say nothing for the core concept of group purchasing power in risk rated insurance pools being totally lost in the entire conversation.

When everyone bargains for health insurance alone, only the insurance companies win.

You will never get a better deal by going it alone.

Malone asks: "Are we going to see significant numbers of death in damaged hearts in California, from the vaccine?" Milhoan responds: "If we allow those kids to stay active and play, I think there's a lot of myocarditis under the radar." As evidence, Milhoan cites a study on heart risk for athletes in the Big Ten, which includes colleges such as Michigan State University and Pennsylvania State University.

The study cited by Milhoan also did not examine athletes vaccinated against Covid-19. "Our study looked at cardiac MRI of athletes with Covid-19 infection, not with the vaccine," Saurabh Rajpal, an associate professor of internal medicine at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and one of the paper's co-authors, told AFP in a September 1, 2022 email.

The new chair of ACIP, Kirk Milhoan, is a spreader of vaccine disinformation.

He was fact-checked by AFP for wildly misinterpreting a study about myocarditis in athletes, claiming the vaccine was to blame.

None of the athletes had been vaccinated.

They had, however, had COVID19.

Weather it’s Joe Biden pardoning kids who were caught with a couple ounces of weed or Donald Trump pardoning the Honduran president who smuggled in 400 tons of cocaine, both presidents were soft on drugs.

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

It's true, and the wildly inaccurate claims they make on unvalidated measures are a whole cottage industry of bullshit.

Some of these 'wearables' don't even have physically plausible mechanisms.

A watch can't assess your lungs' gas exchange capacity.

A ring can't perform an ECG.

Bullshit.

There is no evidence that these devices improve any measure of health whatsoever, and a lot of what they track is nonvalidated nonsense that can actually make people unwell.

Illustration of federal employees, in their work wear, who issued statements opposing their agencies' harmful policies: NIH, NSF, EPA, USAID, CDC, FEMA, NASA.

Among the things I am thankful for is the courage and patriotism of all the federal workers who blew the whistle on agency policies that harm Americans, and those who support us. #CourageIsContagious Art by @drrabbithole.bsky.social

Fourteen Studies That Find No Association Between Vaccines and Autism Primary Research: Vaccines and Autism 1. Hviid A, Hansen JV, Frisch M, Melbye M. Measles, mumps, rubella vaccination and autism: a nationwide cohort study. Ann Intern Med. 2019;170(8):513-520. This nationwide Danish cohort study of 657,461 children found no increased risk of autism associated with MMR vaccination, even among children at higher genetic risk for autism. 2. Madsen KM, Hviid A, Vestergaard M, et al. A population-based study of measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination and autism. N Engl J Med. 2002;347(19):1477-1482. In a cohort of over 500,000 Danish children, there was no association between MMR vaccination and the development of autism or autistic-spectrum disorder. 3. Taylor LE, Swerdfeger AL, Eslick GD. Vaccines are not associated with autism: an evidence-based meta-analysis of case-control and cohort studies. Vaccine. 2014;32(29):3623-3629. This meta-analysis of five cohort and five case-control studies (over 1.25 million children) found no relationship between vaccination - including MMR, thimerosal, or mercury - and autism or autism spectrum disorder. 4. Parker SK, Schwartz B, Todd J, Pickering LK. Thimerosal-containing vaccines and autistic spectrum disorder: a critical review of published original data. Pediatrics. 2004;114(3):793-804. A systematic review of epidemiologic and pharmacokinetic studies concluded that thimerosal-containing vaccines are not associated with autism spectrum disorder.

Primary Research: Vaccines and Autism 5. Honda H, Shimizu Y, Rutter M. No effect of MMR withdrawal on the incidence of autism: a total population study. J Child Psychol Psychiatry. 2005;46(6):572- 579. This Japanese population study showed that autism rates continued to rise after the withdrawal of MMR vaccine, refuting a causal link. 6. Fombonne E, Zakarian R, Bennett A, Meng L, McLean-Heywood D. Pervasive developmental disorders in Montreal, Quebec, Canada: prevalence and links with immunizations. Pediatrics. 2006;118(1):e139-150. Analysis of autism prevalence in Montreal found no change in autism rates despite a decrease in MMR vaccination coverage, arguing against a vaccine- autism association. 7. DeStefano F, Price CS, Weintraub ES. Increasing exposure to antibody- stimulating proteins and polysaccharides in vaccines is not associated with risk of autism. J Pediatr. 2013;163(2):561-567. A case-control study found no association between the total antigen exposure from vaccines in the first two years of life and the risk of developing autism. 8. Uno Y, Uchiyama T, Kurosawa M, Aleksic B, Ozaki N. The combined measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines and the total number of vaccines are not associated with development of autism spectrum disorder: the first case- control study in Asia. Vaccine. 2012;30(28):4292-4298. This Japanese case-control study found no association between MMR vaccination or the total number of vaccines received and the development of autism spectrum disorder. 9. Price CS, Thompson WW, Goodson B, et al. Prenatal and infant exposure to thimerosal from vaccines and immunoglobulins and risk of autism. Pediatrics. 2010;126(4):656-664. A US case-control study found no increased risk of autism associated with prenatal or early-life exposure to thimerosal-containing vaccines and immunoglobulins.

Primary Research: Vaccines and Autism 10. Smeeth L, Cook C, Fombonne E, et al. MMR vaccination and pervasive developmental disorders: a case-control study. Lancet. 2004;364(9438):963- 969. This UK case-control study found no evidence of an increased risk of pervasive developmental disorders, including autism, following MMR vaccination. Systematic Reviews: Vaccines and Autism 11. Gidengil C, Goetz MB, Newberry S, et al. Safety of vaccines used for routine immunization in the United States: an updated systematic review and meta- analysis. Vaccine. 2021;39(28):3696-3716. This updated systematic review and meta-analysis for the AHRQ found high- strength evidence that the MMR vaccine is not associated with autism. 12. Maglione MA, Das L, Raaen L, et al. Safety of vaccines used for routine immunization of U.S. children: a systematic review. Pediatrics. 2014;134(2):325- 337. A systematic review for the AHRQ concluded that the MMR vaccine is not associated with autism, based on high-quality evidence. 13. Dudley MZ, Halsey NA, Omer SB, et al. The state of vaccine safety science: systematic reviews of the evidence. Lancet Infect Dis. 2020;20(5):e80-e89. This review summarized systematic reviews on vaccine safety, consistently finding no evidence of a link between vaccines and autism. 14. Halsey NA, Hyman SL. Measles-mumps-rubella vaccine and autistic spectrum disorder: report from the New Challenges in Childhood Immunizations Conference convened in Oak Brook, Illinois, June 12-13, 2000. Pediatrics. 2001;107(5):E84. This expert panel report reviewed available evidence and concluded there is no credible evidence supporting a causal relationship between MMR vaccination and autism spectrum disorder.

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍂🥧

Have some anti-vax family at your table?

Here is a summary of 14 studies that found no association between vaccines and autism.

Hang onto these pictures because Hegseth will have the offending sign removed as soon as he sobers up today.

Two billion kids would REALLY appreciate it if we did more about this than just make a few non-binding promises every year & then instantly forget about them.

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

The First Man in Rome, et seq., by Colleen McCullough.

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy

Vaccine Safety MENU V For Everyone NOV. 19, 2025 KEY POINTS • The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism. • Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities. • HHS has launched a comprehensive assessment of the causes of autism, including investigations on plausible biologic mechanisms and potential causal links.

VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM, YOU FLAMING SHITBIRDS.

THE LAST TIME HHS, AS CURRENTLY OCCUPIED BY RFK JR., CONDUCTED A “COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT” OF THE CAUSES OF AUTISM THEY BLAMED TYLENOL AND THEN, BECAUSE IT WAS BULLSHIT, HAD TO WALK IT BACK.

In a lot of cases, clinical trials might be the only way for a child to survive a fatal childhood disease, or keep someone from dying from a form of cancer that doesn’t have any other options, etc. We tend to think of “trials” as novel experiments, but they’re often much more than that.

You are right. He displays fidelity to anti-empiricism.
