I have been canceled and de-platformed for my political beliefs. Learn the full story in my feature-length essay in The Free Press, my interview on 60 Minutes, my chat/cooking demo on CBS Mornings, and my lecture series at the University of Austin.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992.

Was there a breast cancer epidemic?!

NO.

Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976.

PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something.

This is also about autism.
