Here is how we know that vaccines do not cause autism
Vaccines do not cause autism. You’ve almost certainly read that before — but often without a full explanation of how we know it to be true. Here's how we know.

I don’t think non physicians realize how for real physicians, vaccines is a controversy like flat earth or creationism or birds aren’t real
"No true Scotsman" actually holds here
it's hard to really describe how baffling this is, how frustrating its been to see grow and how high the price will be

In a video message to Germany this morning regarding their prosecutions of doctors who have violated public health laws during the pandemic, RFK Jr. said:
“Your doctor is serving…unelected technocrats with no medical training and anybody can see the danger in this system”.
Has he even met himself?

Timeline Cleanse: Please enjoy this photo of a praying mantis that was sitting on top of my car windshield, but the angling and lighting were so weird it looks like a giant praying mantis wandering a corn field in Iowa.

I almost got ran over by a zamboni answering a page from radiology at Wrigley Field
I used to play ping pong with a shoe to make enough money to buy chess books.

foster care has been on the decline nationally over the past ten years. that's a good thing! but there's a group that routinely argue that this is putting kids in danger. @kelleyfong.bsky.social; @bobapel.bsky.social and I checked the evidence (it's null 1/n) jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

The article, as with so many “big paper” write-ups of CAM, rides that “who knows?” line hard. On the one hand, doctors & scientists say it’s overtesting. On the other hand, company says it’s good and some patients really like it. Who’s to say?

I was doing an event and *wanted* a pickle fountain but the price for one was out of budget. I thrifted a triple-tier tray and had a full pickle display (3 different varieties!) instead. People loved it.

As you evaluate this from Kristi Noem, remember that when a federal agent shot a woman in Chicago last year, DHS's initial version of events was full of lies that fell apart under subsequent scrutiny:
