Deeply infuriating.

A doubtmongering waste of resources (it HAS BEEN studied!) that can only do harm. And (getting paranoid) worry about integrity of proposed research.

Research priorities shouldn't be framed by lies.

Dark Age 2.0.

CDC to study vaccines & autism www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/h...

C.D.C. Will Investigate Debunked Link Between Vaccines and Autism

Dozens of studies have failed to find evidence of a link. The decision to re-examine the question comes as a measles outbreak, driven by low vaccination rates, widens in Texas.

RFK Jr: From "it is not unusual" to "top priority"?

From "no safe vaccines" & they cause autism to sending thousands to Texas?

This is what ignoring evidence & reason looks like.

Reality: there is a STRONG consensus about what the large and diverse body of evidence says about vaccines!

#VaccinesWork!

Don't let the doubt mongers win.

So many irrational, harmful, & anti-science moves...

"The country is less safe. These are the deployable assets critical for investigating new threats, from anthrax to Zika..."
