Trump thinks "we found an answer to autism". This is not it. Again, the research that already looked into it was ignored.

HHS is no longer a source of reliable information as it was in the past.

These data centers are coming to the Great Lakes basin because of our water. Humans should be concerned about the impact on the Great Lakes and explain the huge difference between gallons/day used and gallons/day discharged back into the lake. How will this affect me? 🌊🌊

Future expansion of the data center could increase water usage to over 8.4 million gallons per year. Plant in Wisconsin.

The questions from and behavior of RFK Jr.‘s ACIP is the most egregious and dangerous display of science denialism I’ve ever personally witnessed.

The harm to the United States is incalculable.

Remember:
⚠️ VAERS reports ≠ proof of cause.
✅ Serious vaccine side effects are extremely rare.
✅ Millions of kids have safely been vaccinated.
✅ COVID-19 infection—not the vaccine—is what has caused deaths in children.

Don’t let misinformation twist VAERS data – check the evidence behind the claim.

Vaccine would have prevented this. Measles is not just a minor illness beware

Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD @elizabethjacobs.bsky.social · Sep 11

A child in Los Angeles has just died of measles—years after they were initially infected.

They had measles as an infant and recovered. However, they later developed subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE), which is rare neurological complication that can arise up to a decade after infection.

Screenshot from ABC7 Los Angeles that says LOS ANGELES (KABC) - Health officials on Thursday reported the death of a Los Angeles County child from a complication of measles infection acquired during infancy.

RFK Jr. is going to release a report on what he thinks are the causes of Autism Spectrum Disorder.

There is reason to believe it won’t be trustworthy, so @defendpublichealth.bsky.social has released our own evidence-based report of ASD risk factors to the public.

Vaccines aren’t one of them.
