PubMed is taking the weekend off.

This is not normal.

We have wasted so much money on “breakthroughs” that did nothing.

Sometimes the hardest part is admitting that boring consistency beats new toys most of the time.

It's pretty telling that Kennedy shares his direct search results on PubMed using "mercury+neurotoxicity," which is going to ensure he only finds results to fit his narrative and avoid pesky research he doesn't want to see.

Gold-standard science baby!

Kennedy provides a bunch of references for his claim that thimerosal in vaccines (barely used anymore) is harmful.

If a high-school student submitted this as their reference list, they would fail.

I will do what Kennedy didn’t - actually look at them. 🧵

Antivaxxers love to share random Pubmed links to support their confirmation bias. I mean at very least read the abstract to check that it actually supports your position.

Fitness red flag:
When the verb is stronger than the science.

If someone says:

“X cures Y” → You need gold-standard RCTs

“X likely helps” → Needs solid human data

“X is linked to” → Maybe it was just a mouse study

If the claim is 🔴 but the evidence is 🟢…
🚨 MISMATCH. Swipe left.

How fitness misinformation works:

🐭 Real study:
“HIIT increased fat oxidation in rats.”

💥 Creator’s version:
“HIIT BURNS 10X MORE FAT THAN CARDIO! (PROVEN!)”

😵‍💫 You quit Zone 2 and burn out in 3 weeks.

This is called a Claim–Evidence Upgrade, and it’s killing your results.

How has #openscience benefited your research, or how could it benefit it in the future?

✅ The 5% Rule
If it hasn’t passed Phase II human trials, there’s a 95% chance it’s a dead end.
🧪 Animal data? Ignore it.
🧍Human trials? Investigate it.

The press propagates so many studies that are supposedly life-changing but when you look them up they are animal studies. Only 5% of animal studies make it to human clinial trials!

For the regular person, these studies should be completely ignored in my opinion until they make it to human trials.

Science isn’t broken.
But your evidence filter might be.
Learn the difference between:
✅ Randomized human trials
❌ TikTok testimonials
They’re not equal — don’t treat them like they are.

One week it's “Coffee causes cancer.”
Next week? “Coffee prevents dementia.”
What's going on?
☕ Headlines change. But evidence quality doesn’t.
Next time, check: Was it a human trial or a mouse study?

Debunk influencers:

1. PubMed claim

2. Filter HUMAN studies

3. No gold-standard? = 🗑️

You’ve bought supplements that did nothing.
Trusted “shortcuts” that went nowhere.
It’s not you—it’s the grifters.
Their #1 tactic? The “Authority Illusion”:
“Credentials ≠ Truth. Follow data, not diplomas.”
