Much needed urgency from @thefarce.org: "We must demand that the Republicans in Congress do what they don’t want to do most: their job. We must demand that the president’s war of choice in Venezuela be fully debated in both houses of Congress before it’s too late."

Trump's illegal war on Venezuela is a sneak attack on our freedom

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy
HEADS UP: CDC website now officially asserts that vaccines may cause autism.“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” Also says the “vaccines do not cause autism” header remains b/c of an agreement with Cassidy.

My God.
This is completely disgusting. Today, the CDC updated their vaccine safety page. It now says:
“The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism”.
