Many studies have shown that there is no relationship between MMR vaccine and the development of autism. Here are two of the best.
This one followed every single child born in Denmark from 1991 through 1998 (n=537,303). There was no association.

Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach.
To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat.
And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.

OK, this is very funny.

Once upon a time, Woodward and Bernstein/Watergate made a young girl want to study journalism in graduate school and pursue it as a career. (I spent 6 years in radio news before pivoting full time to screenwriting.) I can't fathom that this is happening. That people are letting it happen.
A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda.
This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵

Going after public broadcasters is part of the playbook authoritarian leaders around the world use to clamp down on dissent and keep the public in the dark. Strong public media systems and open democracy go hand in hand.

So many alarm bells.
Last night, the Indiana legislature passed a budget bill gutting IU's academic freedom. It:
-gives the Governor total control of the Board of Trustees
-limits the Faculty Senate to an advisory role
-mandates post-tenure productivity/teaching review of faculty
-lets the state to ID programs to close

Listening to an audiobook and realizing I have a very strong, possibly controversial opinion. You’re supposed to pronounce the D in sandwich. And, there are precisely zero Ms or Gs in the word. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

I was a social security recipient from the age of 12 through 18. That’s not some weird thing or corruption. It’s called survivors’ benefits. You don’t have to know this. You’re blessed if you don’t. But if you’re going to speak publicly abt the program you need to know this.
Jeanine: We found out there are people who are between the ages of one and four who are getting social security
Jessica: That's the benefit for kids whose parents are dead.
