In the midst of all the noise and prejudice about "overdiagnosis", the way it's presented is really dangerous. It's not academic research; the main motivations are political.

Flu positive rate rose to 11.6% weekending Nov 25 (from 10.7%). Health chiefs said the highest positivity was in children aged 5–14.

71 million views. Another brilliant PR move by the outstanding WH comms team. They owned the libs again by attacking and demeaning Sabrina just because she asked them not to steal her music for one of their sick deportation videos. Thanks for the new voters.

Today in research FTW: "Autistic participants were more generous towards strangers & people they barely knew than non-autistic individuals." So basically autistic people are kind regardless of whether or not they know the person; non-autistics need social vetting.

Autistic individuals are more prosocial towards strangers and people they barely know
While most people become less generous towards strangers, autistic adults maintain high levels of prosocial behavior regardless of social distance. New research confirms this generosity is intentional...

Honestly I'm glad the Lords appears to be the last bastion protecting people from what will rapidly become legalised eugenics aimed against the disabled & poor.
Disabled people are still getting non consensual DNRs put on them. You want assisted suicide? Fix up the protections, first.

The German Health minister said this in 2023 and the government in UK has said nothing about neurological and mental health risks to children from COVID. I suppose they expect the public to think he is also a conspiracy theorist. We are truly down an antiscience rabbit hole.
