🔬 🧬 🩺🧠 Developmental and genetic profile of autism differs substantially by age at diagnosis - fascinating research by @vw1234.bsky.social Xinhe Zhang and colleagues. Medsky

Varun Warrier @vw1234.bsky.social · 7d

It is now clear that more people are being diagnosed as autistic in their teens and as adults than in childhood. A prevailing theory is that those diagnosed later have "milder" form of autism, and later diagnosis entirely due to social factors.

This equates to 0.5 micromorts for each person receiving a vaccination course (usually several vaccines)

That is less than the mortality risk for a single day of skiing (0.7 micromorts)

Benjamin Mazer @mazer.us · 26d

Covid vaccine deaths: the best data came out of Korea, which did autopsies on all post-vaccination sudden deaths.

The country identified 21 deaths out of 44 million vaccinees.

Yes people can die from the vaccine, but it’s incredibly rare.
