#ScienceNotStigma
Policies rooted in fear and misinformation harm us all. The recent Executive Order attacking sex and gender diversity ignores science, undermines civil rights, and endangers lives.

What upsets me most about the EO targeting autism and ADHD is that people who *need* a diagnosis to thrive might now be too scared to seek help. No one should have to choose between support and stigma. #ADHDAwareness #AutismAcceptance

HIV Treatment Works. Stigma Doesn’t.

U=U means people living with HIV on effective treatment can’t pass it on. Science proves it—stigma refuses to listen.

If U know, U know.

10/11 Just because one parent models healthy eating more than another doesn't automatically explain why their child has a lower BMI. The reality is far more complex than "they did X, so their child turned out Y." #ParentingTruths #ScienceNotStigma

Long COVID isn’t rare just rarely recognised.
You don’t need proof to deserve care.
We’re not making it up.
Our bodies just haven’t healed yet.

🚭 Withholding the truth on safer nicotine alternatives isn’t protection—it’s harm.
When public health officials ignore or distort evidence on vaping and #THR, they sacrifice
lives to maintain a narrative. People deserve facts, not fear. #ScienceNotStigma

💡Public health betrays trust when they cherry pick information. They’re doing it again—downplaying the benefits of safer nicotine alternatives.

This didn’t make the national news but it made an impact on me. It happened in my community. The science was clear. The story ignored it. That’s why I wrote this blog.

🎙“Denying the science on vaping is NOT public health—it’s public harm.”
Misleading the public about reduced-risk nicotine products isn’t neutral—it prolongs smoking
and increases preventable deaths. #THRworks #ScienceNotStigma #HealthForAll bit.ly/43MPbsc

Headlines saying CRISPR ends HIV permanently are misleading. Trials show promise but HIV still returns when treatment stops. Hope is real, but evidence matters. I unpack this in my new Substack.

Fraud doesn’t equal fact.
The “vaccines cause autism” claim was based on a debunked 1998 paper—and that lie has harmed countless families.
Science is clear: there is no link. Truth matters.

Long COVID: the sequel no one asked for.
Still sick after COVID? You’re not alone—1.9M+ in the UK are stuck in symptom limbo. Fatigue, brain fog, “just anxiety”? Nah. It’s your mitochondria on strike.
