This is disappointing, but I’m not surprised. I was one of the reviewers for the initial version. You can see by my review (it’s all open) that I flagged primary outcome switching, a complete lack of any data on the cells themselves 1/n

RFK Jr clearly hasn't read this paper he cited. But I have.
At last week’s press conference, RFK Jr and his buddies announced that Tylenol causes autism, citing 3 studies as proof. Let's talk about one of them.

Unbelievable what’s happening in the US. I used to be jealous of my American cousins when I was growing up. Not anymore - what a farce of a democracy they have become.
