Another article in the Irish times asking why we’re not talking about trans people more. Cites Stella O’Malley, the Cass report and it just has a tone of ‘well shouldn’t we be debating this’ as if we debate the healthcare decisions that cancer patients make. SHUT UP.

This is how easy it is to get Al to agree with what you want.
I asked it where soap was invented and then responded with this suggestive but unfortunately wrong question.
This, your honour, is called leading the witness.

To be clear, this shields any research coming out of the NIH from independent peer review, which gives him total control to spread propaganda and makes any NIH study completely untrustworthy.
After he got caught using hundreds of fake AI studies to back up his bullshit report, RFK says he’s gonna ban NIH scientists from publishing their work in scientific journals.

RFK Jr. says he may bar scientists from publishing in top medical journals
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. took aim at reputed journals such as the Lancet and said his agency will create “in-house” publications instead.

Today is Retraction Day, when we observe the anniversary of the retraction (Feb. 2, 2010) of the fraudulent paper that purported to show a link between vaccines and autism. 🧪#medsky
![This is the front page of a fraudulent research article that purported to show a link between vaccines and autism. The word "RETRACTED" is written across it in large red letters.
Wikipedia: On 28th February 1998, a fraudulent research paper by physician Andrew Wakefield and twelve coauthors, titled "Ileal-Lymphoid-Nodular Hyperplasia, Non-Specific Colitis, and Pervasive Developmental Disorder in Children", was published in the British medical journal The Lancet.[1] The paper falsely claimed causative links between the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and colitis and between colitis and autism. The fraud involved data selection, data manipulation, and two undisclosed conflicts of interest.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sox6xar4qdc3ujhi5h4whtlh/bafkreiazjyxk6foryp6lzxcqbls62uaokwhjrjmnzg5uqpdimg77xrt26a@jpeg)
