This is how disgraced physician McCullough dismisses the rigorous scientific studies showing no link between vaccines and ASD.
Step 1: Move the goalposts. He decries that most studies “only” looked at MMR, thimerosal, aluminum.
He ignores that these were the villains identified by anti-vaxxers.

In June when I said I was attending the No King's protest, someone said 'oh it's just going to be old people in sun hats.'
'Yes', I said, 'the same people who 60 years ago protested to end the Vietnam War.'

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.
The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!
Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.
FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

Science is the search for truth, that is the effort to understand the world: it involves the rejection of bias, of dogma, of revelation, but not the rejection of morality.

Liking a post does nothing at all. If you want a post to be seen you need people to repost it.
And good luck on that. 🙄

If the US stops fluoridating water, in 5 yrs American children would suffer an additional 25.4 million cavities, with an added cost of $9.8B, and loss of 2.9 million quality-adjusted life years, disproportionately borne by children currently on public health insurance or who lack insurance entirely.
Projected Outcomes of Removing Fluoride From US Public Water Systems
This cost-effectiveness analysis evaluates a large sample of US children to determine the associations of fluoridation cessation with oral health and national dental care costs.
