Trump says RFK Jr will “investigate” the link between vaccines and autism as “somebody needs to find out.”

We’ve ALREADY FOUND OUT
- >600,000 kids in Denmark
- >90,000 in the US
- >1.2m kids worldwide

NO LINK.

How many more of these does he want us to do?

My neighbour's sister has been diagnosed with stage 3 uterine cancer and will require surgery, radiation, and chemo. She had been seeing a naturopath for her symptoms who was prescribing various herbs. The naturopath didn't know she had cancer, but that's the point.

I have never diagnosed toxicity from “Yellow #5” or the like but I regularly diagnose toxicity from natural supplements
Disappointing language from Booker. When are folks going to learn that having good intentions behind scaring the public about 'chemicals' that companies put in your food doesn't obviate that this same rhetoric underlies anti-vaccination and just serves to reinforce it.
When it comes to policies around food and health, RFK Jr. seems to have a lot in common with Democratic Sen. Cory Booker.

The word that accurately captures the marvellously exciting feeling of doing archaeology, not knowing all the answers, yet also not being totally without ideas, is
INTRIGUED
Archaeologists: We found many skeletons in a pit, we don't know the details yet but it's very interesting and we wonder what disease may have killed these people.
Guardian: MYSTERY SURROUNDS BURIAL PIT, RESEARCHERS BAFFLED!!!

Interesting article though:

Today's news has demonstrated that the subset of auspol twitter who think it's fine to make bigoted jokes when the target is a bad person are now here.

Homophobic "jokes" about Jones are still homophobic. Go back to Elon's place if that's all you're capable of.

They’re complaining about Bluesky because no one follows or engages them here. People are tired and don’t want that bullshit. Don’t let those anti-bluesky takes give them what they ultimately want: engagement from angry people who boost their stories.
We don’t have to repeat the mistakes of Twitter by following these outrage farmers when they come here. We can all just agree that these people universally suck and go about our lives without them in it. We don’t have to share “this person who sucks said another thing that sucks.” We can have peace!
every one of those op-ed columnists has spent years building up a follower list on twitter, many of whom left, and so they are angry because you owe them your attention ad to help them get paid, your entire existence is to facilitate their need to put in as little effort as possible, know your place

Step 1: Elon takes over Twitter, unbans and amplifies the worst white nationalist posters, methodically turns it into a right wing echo chamber.

Step 2: Users who aren’t white nationalists or MAGA extremists leave for Bluesky en masse.

Step 3: op-ed columnists fret, “is Bluesky an echo chamber?”

Seems like now would be a very good time indeed to get HPV and Covid vaccines, since the very extreme & extraordinarily dangerous anti-vaccine activist who will soon be in charge of the nation’s health policies has both of these vaccines in his sights 😢
