Trying out the new science standards the CDC is using for what might be causing autism:
The claim "organic food does not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that consuming organic food during pregnancy causes autism.

There is NO FUCKING EXCUSE for this to be happening.
I had a baby die in my arms of pertussis some fifty years ago. It was a HORRIBLE death. But my fellow nurses said to me, "It's almost stamped out now, they're all getting the shots, we won't be seeing this again."
HOW THE FUCK ARE WE HERE. 😡

A third infant has died in Kentucky, KYDPH adds:
“These are Kentucky’s first pertussis deaths since 2018. None of the infants nor their mothers received the recommended pertussis vaccinations during pregnancy or early infancy.”

Not once have I seen an explanation for why teenagers must hear things that upset them in virtue of the unspecified speech-acts being upsetting, nor have I ever seen an explanation for why teenagers will be forbidden to express displeasure with upsetting things.

I don’t think ChatGPT can teach college courses effectively, but I am confident it could write articles like this just fine.
Wow. Just wow.
