1/ 🧵 UPDATE: The human cost of defunding USAID is no longer theoretical. New analyses show the impacts are already being measured in lives lost, not just programs paused.

Autism policy is drifting away from science — and families are paying the price.
In a new Baker Institute paper, Dr. Peter Hotez calls for a reset: evidence first, politics last.
Here’s what the science actually says 🧵👇

1/ In the early 1930s, a European democracy faced economic strain, political fragmentation, and public fear.
Order was promised. Stability was demanded. And “enemies within” were identified as the reason the nation could not heal.

If you feel like the Central Valley has been living in a Tupperware container for the last few weeks, you’re not alone. This isn’t just a “bad fog season.” We’re witnessing a rare, persistent meteorological setup. 🧵

1/ “How to evaluate any medical claim in 60 seconds”
RFK Jr-style claims spread fast because they’re framed like certainty. This thread gives you a repeatable “claim check” you can run on any health claim in under a minute. No politics required—just basic evidence hygiene.

Bayesian analysis isn’t anti-science. It can be powerful when used correctly.
But who controls the priors—and how they’re justified—matters more than most people realize. That’s where recent rhetoric deserves scrutiny.

Cherry picking is the selective presentation of data, studies, or anecdotes that support a specific claim while ignoring the broader body of evidence that contradicts it. It is a form of suppressed evidence that creates a "veneer of science" to mislead the public.

1/ Claim: “Cancer rates skyrocketed after mRNA COVID vaccines.”
Reality: The most authoritative U.S. cancer report shows no post-vaccine spike. Cancer trends in 2026 follow long-standing patterns, not sudden inflections.

1/ RFK Jr. quietly rewrote how America tracks foodborne outbreaks.
The result? Less surveillance, less detection — and more people at risk, especially from raw milk pathogens we used to monitor effectively.

What if RFK Jr.’s dream RCT actually happened?
