The official CDC website on autism and vaccines is now a screed of cherry-picked data and conspiratorial thinking claiming that actually vaccines *might* cause autism.

Die Zahl der HIV-Neuinfektionen in Deutschland ist im Jahr 2024 gestiegen, wie aus dem aktuellen Bericht des @rki.de hervorgeht. Das ist kein Zufall, sondern Ergebnis von Kürzungen bei Aufklärung und Drogenhilfe. Die HIV-Prävention muss jetzt wieder gestärkt werden!

My interview with @dallasnews.com www.dallasnews.com/news/public-...
Change on CDC website links vaccines and autism. What does it mean for doctors, parents?
The updated page casts aside decades of research by scientists around the world, which has found no link between childhood vaccines and autism.

A tour de force expose of those trying to smother us in anti-science propaganda. Michael Mann and Peter Hotez are leaders in confronting the anti-science crowd. They describe their own experiences and name and shame the organizations and individuals involved and how we can defeat them. Read it. 🧪

Not great news to see Marburg spreading across the borders of the previously endemic areas. I was so happy to see that Ebola outbreak in the DRC over and now this...I hope the country will be able to get it under control soon.

A year ago, I launched my book #OnFreedom in a war zone – in Kharkiv, Ukraine, 35 seconds from Russian artillery. Today, I'm launching the paperback in Portland, Oregon. Which is NOT a war zone. There is a difference in the real world between what's a war and what is not, and between truth and lies.
