Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

The change to the CDC website to reflect unscientific, agenda-driven mindsets is deeply upsetting.
But let's not forget there are a lot of excellent scientists still working there. Persisting. Trying to minimise damage.
Let's not stop supporting them - while condemning those in charge!

Do I understand correctly that there is now a dispute within the administration about whether this "peace plan" was written by Russians or Americans?

How often have you heard that schizophrenia is “80% genetic”?
That number is almost certainly too high because it comes from twin studies that overestimate heritabilty.
Great explainer of this phenomenon👇

I wrote a little bit about the "missing heritability" question and several recent studies that have brought it to a close. A short 🧵
The missing heritability question is now (mostly) answered
