RFK Jr. May Be Crazy, But Getting Rid Of A Mandate-Loving, Science-Torturing Bureaucrat Is A Very Good Thing!
RFK Jr. Is a loon when it comes to vaccines, and the catastrophe that is the Covid19 vaccine effort has just solidified his opinions. The reality is that there many, safe, effective, lifesaving vaccines available, and the experience with these in the 20th century is a wonderful example of the power of science. Polio, Small Pox, Measles, Tetanus, Pertussis (Whooping Cough) and several others are a successful testament to the West's public health and scientific efforts.
But as usual, hubris, graft, self-aggrandizement and government overreach took that wonderful success and made it a problem. The attitude seemed to be, if several vaccines are good, then a dozen are even better! HPV? Why? Protecting children from a sexually transmitted disease? Chicken Pox? Why? Natural immunity is better, and the disease itself is mild. And let's accelerate the time frame for these vaccines, so babies are bombarded with vaccine after vaccine, without a solid understanding of how their immune systems will respond. And if traditional vaccine development takes years, but we have a new and mostly untested way to create vaccines quickly, then why the hell not! Covid19 was the perfect opportunity for the ultimate in medical and government hubris. Big Pharma had the technology to create a vaccine very quickly, and government had the jackbooted thugs of its enforcement arms to mandate its use. Never mind that it was a crappy vaccine, didn't really protect people from contracting the disease, didn't limit its spread very much, and had poorly understood side effects. But none of that mattered, and the evil cabal of Pharma and government ran roughshod over our rights, and absolutely destroyed the science of vaccines in the process. In doing so they took a society that was mostly comfortable with vaccinations, and convinced them that government and Pharma were lying through their teeth, and absolutely could not be trusted with anything... including the vaccines that have been demonstrated to work. But back to RFK Jr.'s lunacy. It now makes more sense to America, because even if he is mostly wrong about traditional vaccines (they don't cause autism), there is a monstrous example of exactly what he has been saying for years: the Covid19 catastrophe. Sadly, our compliant media will not tell the truth about Peter Marks, who is one of the prime players in the ridiculously fast rollout of the Covid19 vaccine and the subsequent mandates for its use. He is a fascist: comfortable with government forcing any manner of medical treatment on pain of loss of employment and, in a few cases, death. Good on Ya RFK Jr. for dumping this arrogant, superior, freedom-crushing fascist! Top FDA vaccine official Peter Marks resigns in opposition to RFK Jr.The Food and Drug Administration’s top vaccine regulator Peter Marks has resigned, citing Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s “misinformation and lies” around immunization, according to a resignation letter obtained by CNBC. For nearly 10 years, Marks led the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, a post that included evaluating Covid-19 vaccines and establishing guidelines for emerging treatments like cell and gene therapies. A key figure at the FDA, biopharma industry insiders were closely watching Marks amid the transition. The Wall Street Journal first reported Marks’s resignation, saying an official of the Department of Health and Human Services gave Marks the chance to resign or be fired. Marks, the FDA, and the Department of Health and Human Services did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Oh... the poor dear! Just a dedicated and selfless career scientist whose only goal is to improve the health and well-being of Americans! He's like Santa Claus and Albert Schweitzer wrapped in one! Wenstrup Investigates FDA's Rushed Approval of the COVID-19 Vaccine
FDA Director Dr. Peter Marks testified that the FDA’s approval of the COVID-19 vaccine may have been rushed in order to meet arbitrary mandate policies set forth by the Biden Administration. Previous documents uncovered by the Select Subcommittee revealed that scientists warned Dr. Marks and other FDA officials on numerous occasions about the dangers of rushing the COVID-19 vaccine approval process. The FDA seemingly disregarded the warnings, dismissed the scientists who brought forward the concerns, and went forward with the accelerated approval process. The day after approval, the Biden Administration announced its first COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
Well look at that! A mandate! Otherwise known as totalitarianism. Marks is an evil man, and his departure from the FDA is a wonderful thing. Too bad it wasn't on a rail. [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter] And the Apple and Spotify feeds for CJN's podcast should be working!

I believe RFK would agree with you on everything you said, except that vaccines don't cause autism.
What he would say is, there have been no studies done on the possible links between autism and the NEWER vaccines that were implemented when Big Pharma decided it was a lucrative business to give children all sorts of jabs without enough study of the side effects.
As for Peter Marks, I never liked any of his music anyway. Cheesy pop rock. I thought he was Canadian, but apparently not. Born in Chicago. Which is just as bad.

I am still not quite sure whether they rolled out the mandate to payoff pharma for their support- pharma got to sell billions, Biden admin gets their cut or whether they saw it as a great way to go after their political opponents.
The answer is probably 'yes'.

10 years ago I would have agreed that RFK Jr is crazy. But you know what was crazy? Thinking a virus came from a bat instead of - uhm you know - the fucking virus lab down the street.
I don’t believe anything experts say. Or any conventional wisdom. He could be crazy. He could also be 100% correct. I have no idea. But I’m not blindly following one side or the other anymore.
We’ve been told anyone who doesn’t believe the erf is burning up is a lunatic as well. 97% of scientists!!! And we were told the Hunter laptop was a fake by experts!!!
So why is he a lunatic exactly? Because experts say he is?

I was listening to a presentation by a pediatrician quite a few years ago. She was saying how infant vaccines were more about getting parents into the habit of bringing their children to the pediatrician than they were about immunity.
Because... for the first year of life, the infant has immunity passed to the babe... FROM THE MOTHER!
Now, you can say parents bringing their children to a pediatrician is a good thing, or you can call it a cash grab on the part of Big Doctor, but either way it's still manipulation through lies.

I've also decided to stop getting the flu shot. I started getting it in 2012 when an insanely healthy acquaintance of mine died of the flu. That was a VERY virulent flu year swept under the rug during COVID because it showed we'd been there before and survived without lockdowns and masks.
Anyway, no more flu shots for me. I feel like I can't trust them, which is maddening. They might be the right thing to do, but how would we know?

This topic always generates a lot of heat without a lot of increased understanding. Many in the commentariat seem to latch onto a particular spin and jump in with both feet.
I agree with our Parisian contributor Le CBD that mid-century development of vaccines against the common deadly childhood infectious diseases was a historical advancement for society. I'm not so sanguine about vaccines for non-deadly diseases such as HPV or for that matter COVID in most people.
And the unforeseen (or should I say intentionally overlooked) interplay between mRNA and the coronavirus spike protein have shown to be probably as detrimental as the disease if not more.

Remember the claim was that the clot shot reduced your changes of getting COVID by 99%.
No, the claim was that it was impossible to get COVID after being vaccinated, as stated by both the President and the head of the CDC.

So what's causing all the autism? Don't tell me it's just misdiagnoses. Something big is happening out there. Everybody knows some kid who is just not right mentally. I know many. I never saw kids like this growing up in the 70s and 80s.

I agree with our Parisian contributor Le CBD that mid-century development of vaccines against the common deadly childhood infectious diseases was a historical advancement for society. I'm not so sanguine about vaccines for non-deadly diseases such as HPV or for that matter COVID in most people.
I'm not anti-real vaccines, but I've see the charts that show increases in human longevity, and almost all the gains trace to better sanitation in the years before the mass roll out of vaccines where the advances are much more muted.
And of course ironically in the last few years those numbers have trended down mostly due to drugs (and to a lesser extent the clot shot)

I am not an expert on viruses, or mRNA vaccine technology, any more than my med school classmate Dr. Rachel (nee Richard) Levine who was touted as a COVID expert in his role as physician general of Pennsylvania despite rising to prominence more as a gender confused middle-aged man more than for his knowledge.
Knowing Levine's education, training and work experience I can say with confidence that he was parroting the party line as fed by Fauci et al. I have no doubt that he fancies himself an expert, much the same way as he fancies himself a woman.

So what's causing all the autism? Don't tell me it's just misdiagnoses.
One argument I've seen is that its associative mating.
In the old days the math genius would get a good job and marry a woman who was pretty, or a good home maker, or just the daughter of a friend of the family.
Now? Math/computer nerds marry math/computer nerds. So if there is some recessive gene that enhances that sort of intelligence but if two copies are gained causes issues with other types of intelligence it could explain at least some of the changes.

I was ok with rushing the covid vaccine a bit for the stated 2020 purpose of having it available for medically frail seniors, where the disease risk was high.
And then the deep state installed Biden, the FMN began pushing the vaccine for everybody and that wasn't selling enough vaccines to please the greedy so they had Biden do the mandate. One good thing out of that for me; I had procrastinated on the vaccine by my nature, then was becoming less likely to take it because WTF, why is the FNM pushing so hard for it? and then the mandate kicked on my "oh hell no, will I let that senile pervert make any medical decision for me" instinct. I submitted religious exemption paperwork when my work declared we are a federal contractor and thus under the mandate.

When I was a child there was maybe one or trip kids that had a peanut allergy in an entire school. Now you can’t bring peanuts to school because there are so many. The sheer number of all vaccines kids have to take is staggering and I know there have to be bad interactions. Maybe fewer like e we used to take. The big ones.
Another thing we got a new vizsla puppy in 2021 and her puppy vaccines had a Covid vax in them. We had seven vizslas and this girl has terrible skin allergies that no other one had I put that to that Covid vax. BTW I it was in a big combo shot out I wouldn’t have allowed it.

If they aren't immunized as children the vaccine doesn't work. Then later on down the years it can negatively affect women and men in several different ways. Ask Michael Douglass.

18-1 your observation tracks with reality - expansion of human life span, historically, is mostly (and unsurprisingly) mostly from reduction of infant and youth mortality, with enteric (water-borne) disease being the main factor in that.
Clean drinking water will never be surpassed as the largest factor in raising human life expectancy, statistically all the leverage was in reducing mortality in the young. Infant mortality might have some different factors, not sure. But safe potable water is the main advance in public health in human history.

Yes, and there is no real tracking of reported vaccine injuries. The VAERS system is catching only a small portion due to the manner of its creation.
the studies are supposed to be done by the pharma companies, and they only do short term studies on immediate toxicity.
what we have at the moment are studies on both "did the patient catch whatever he was inoculated for" and all cause mortality.
Those are interesting because some can be shown not to work, some are shown as actual sources for outbreaks, and some have odd effect on general health and all cause mortality.

for the first year of life, the infant has immunity passed to the babe... FROM THE MOTHER!
********
Um. More like ~ 3 months. Passive immunity from the mother is in the form of circulating antibodies from the mother's bloodstream that cross the maternal-fetal barrier into the placenta and thence to the baby. Circulating antibodies have a half-life of maybe six weeks and are largely gone from the baby's bloodstream by 3 months. The baby's immune system does not 'learn' how to make its own antibodies from the mother. That requires exposure to antigens out in the world.

********
Um. More like ~ 3 months. Passive immunity from the mother is in the form of circulating antibodies from the mother's bloodstream that cross the maternal-fetal barrier into the placenta and thence to the baby. Circulating antibodies have a half-life of maybe six weeks and are largely gone from the baby's bloodstream by 3 months. The baby's immune system does not 'learn' how to make its own antibodies from the mother. That requires exposure to antigens out in the world.

I've stood in those Army lines somewhere around 12 times. My first flu shot nearly killed me. Haven't had any shots since.
My stance on the covid shot was "I'll wait 'til they finish giving it to rats then I'll think about it."
Then they skipped the rats and used the population instead.
I wasn't playing regardless of the consequences.
The Army experimented on me with the Anthrax "vaccine", long term exposure to Lariam... some shot called Plague and there was no way I was playing lab rat again.

I used to discount 'vaccines cause autism'. But when they are telling parents to start immunizing at freaking 2 months and CBD just stated that medicine does not yet know how infant immune systems respond to vaccines? Maybe these vaccines are causing autism in .x percent of infants getting them.

I know of a vaccine that keeps melanoma in remission and has the happy side effect of the recipients never getting respiratory infections.
But, the vaccine is cheap to produce, hasn't shown any adverse reactions, and is effective, so you can't have it unless you are admitted to a special, exclusive study.

Even without taking out the marginal ones, the increase of the severely affected individuals is larger.
To dismiss it as, "well it is not so bad, my cousin's kid is weird" is a disservice to the families of the severely affected.
In a culture where "get a colonoscopy and quit tobacco because cancer is bad" is the most moral thing evar it is dishonest to say "Autism is rare and over-diagnosed, we shouldn't waste time looking into ways to prevent it"

If these vaccines are all "safe, effective, [and] lifesaving" why do the manufacturers enjoy immunity from legal liability for each and every one? Why do you have to prove fraud or criminal conduct for liability to attach? Would you use a child safety seat that you couldn't sure the manufacturer over if your kid catapults out of it in a crash? Get rid of that protection, and then I'll consider listening to all the bleating about "safe and effective."

Remember the claim was that the clot shot reduced your changes of getting COVID by 99%. This was based on falsified data. And everything Biden did from the mandates to the rushed approvals was based on these faked trials.
Posted by: 18-1 at March 30, 2025 12:28 PM
As far as I know, to this day, there is no COVID vaccine. The only reason anyone can call the clot shots a vaccine is because the FDA changed the definition of vaccine in September of 2021 from "produce immunity" to "produce protection".
None of the COVID "vaccines" produce immunity. That was known from the start. So they changed the definition of vaccine. When they did this, they started calling the flu shot the flu "vaccine".

Partial correction then, first, breastfeeding babies will likely have extended periods of immunity from their mother, and infants will continue to have SOME immunity from microbes for much of the first year. It's not as simple as "it lasts this long."
But the statement I made was not exactly right, because the emphasis was in the wrong direction. The speaker was essentially advocating for pediatric visits in the first year, and was using the vaccines as a REASON for parents to bring their children in. Even though for SOME period of time in that first year, some of those vaccine were basically useless.

I can't imagine any statistically proper study would show any overall benefit to the health of our young population from the vaccine list quadrupling since the early 70s. But maybe I'm wrong.

The thing with vaccines is that as with every other medical decision, they should be a CHOICE.
Focusing on the autism nonsense is trying to shift the debate.
EVERY VACCINE has potential side effects. Every single one.
The chance and severity of the side effects are variable.
There are many, MANY vaccines that are not given to the general public because the negatives outweigh the positives. The smallpox vaccine is a perfect example.
But this idea that you are not ALLOWED to question ANY vaccine, for ANY reason, just because The Science Says So, is the exact reason this backlash is so severe.
Saying LOL VACCINES DON'T CAUSE AUTISM and acting like that ends any debate about which vaccines are actually needed, is the reason RFK has so much support.

I'd say the farce of "climate science" owes as much to bad science from bad scientists who don't seem to grasp the basics of the scientific method as much as from financial incentives.

I think part of the reason everyone chases grants is the basic understanding that there is MUCH to learn about damn near everything, so if what you're studying appears to be a worthwhile endeavor (whether you're deluding yourself or not), then why WOULDN'T you study the thing that will get you funded?
Maybe that's not the best way to do science, but it's the best way to put food on your table.

>>These climate scientists are not committing deliberate fraud; they have first fooled themselves as I think Feynman might say.
Disagree. The "science" behind manmade climate change has been so obviously corrupt for years any scientist in the field who goes along with it is either corrupt or dumb as a post. We've gone from an imminent ice age in the 70's to melting ice caps in the 80's to whenever there is any type of weather event it's because we have too many farting cows.
Science isn't about coming up with a conclusion and they massaging data to support it while hiding your work. That's fraud not science.

Sure, but someone in the grocery store, or Walgreens who comes in wearing a mask while they're picking up their cold/flu medicine, the mask does reduce how much creeping crud they're spreading.
Posted by: BurtTC at March 30, 2025 12:32 PM
Only if it's a fresh mask they've been wearing for less than 15 minutes. After that point it becomes a biohazard and they are exhaling even more germs than they would without a mask.
Posted by: Emmie celebrates the Audacity of Trump! at March 30, 2025 12:41 PM
Not to mention, they better not have touched the mask at all when putting it on or positioning it on their face. Breathing all those germs and bacteria into their mask and then touching it with their hand/fingers to move it into position, then touching a door to enter a building, putting their hand(s) onto a shelf to pick something up, putting their hand(s) onto a counter to wait for their prescription(s), putting their hands on their credit card or cash to pay for their prescription(s) and then handing that to the pharmacist or cashier.

Big Pharma is in the business of selling the public drugs it concocts for the afflictions it also concocts.
I've never in my life seen and heard about so many different forms of psychological conditions, rashes, allergies, etc. that suddenly are chronic and, like magic, this drug will cure/treat it.
It's like there's a disease out there that fits everyone and there's a pill for it. Even a bent dick.

That tells me nothing , except that the medical establishment has no idea what it is either. I have a good friends who have a son who is autistic. He stumbles over words , doesn't look people in the eye , but he functions using ear plugs and a laptop. Good kid , but his father says the doctors have no idea what caused it

I can't imagine any statistically proper study would show any overall benefit to the health of our young population from the vaccine list quadrupling since the early 70s. But maybe I'm wrong.
Posted by: rhomboid

I think the zeal to "find an effective vaccine" ran out of diseases that were prevallent, highly contagious and deadly back in the 70s or 80s. Around the early 80s we started seeing vaccines targeting:
1.meningococcall meningitis (not that common, not that contagious, bhough potentially lethal or lifelong complications)
2. HIB (Hemophilus influenzae bacteria)
3. HPV- genital warts (sexually transmitted and suspected contributor to risk of cervical cancer decades later)
and some others.
Public health officials, prompted by the CDC and the AAP pushed for policy. Pediatricians dared not deviate from the published AAP "guidelines" so the growing list became de facto "official".

Even in the before times when I wasn’t black pilled I never took the flu shot. My thinking was I get the flu, I get the flu. No big deal.
And oddly enough I’ve never had the flu. At least I don’t think I have. Maybe I did and it wasn’t really a big deal.
Either way the flu shot is not needed.
Posted by: Its Go Time Donald at March 30, 2025 12:41 PM
Last time I had a flu shot was when it was required to attend high school. That was back in 1990. No flu shot since then. And have not had the flu over the past 35 years. I had mono once after freshman year of college (1995) and I have had a cold/sinusitis maybe 2-3 times over the past 25+ years.
No COVID shot for me either. Submitted a religious exemption for work when they mandated it. Last time I was sick was 10 years ago when I had a cold/sinusitis for about a week.

Here's what I have against the so-called "pneumonia vaccine". Pneumonia is a medical condition that can be caused by an uncounted number of viruses and bacteria; to suggest that there is one vaccine that can deal with all of them is complete idiocy. Now there may be a vaccine that protects against one of the more common causes; but if so they should be honest about what it is, and what protection it provides, rather than over-hyping the thing and claiming it protects against all pneumonia.

with these in the 20th century is a wonderful example of the power of science. Polio, Small Pox, Measles, Tetanus, Pertussis (Whooping Cough) and several others are a successful testament to the West's public health and scientific efforts.
I'd highly recommend watching Joe Rogan's podcast with Dr. Suzanne Humphries.
It's actually quite disturbing, the history of the polio vaxxine. Suffice to say, she makes a pretty compelling argument that the vaxxine was about as proper a use of "public health and scientific efforts "as Sidney Gottlieb's MKUktra.

But when the predicitons are wrong, they go back and go "Oh, oops we didn't properly factor in the 20-30 year PDO effect" or "oh, the oceans are absorbing heat and we didn't account for that" or whatever. Yes they are rationalizing and smareter everyday people can see that, but they don't see it themselves.

CBD has some reading to do.
The "placebos" used in vaccine trials are either other vaccines or the vaccine preservative, not saline. There is a reason for that.
Imagine if some old flawed study showing smoking Camel cigarettes was safe. And then based on that, Camel cigarette smoking was used as the placebo in all subsequent cigarette safety studies.
And since all cigarettes are then shown to be "safe," they would claim that smoking every type of cigarette simultaneously was completely safe.
And then they would give them to children...
...and make it mandatory...
...and remove the liability.
There is also a reason they never study vaccinated vs unvaccinated, and it's not because they are trying to save money.
The "placebos" used in vaccine trials are either other vaccines or the vaccine preservative, not saline. There is a reason for that.

FDA Director Dr. Peter Marks testified that the FDA’s approval of the COVID-19 vaccine may have been rushed in order to meet arbitrary mandate policies set forth by the Biden Administration.
It hasn't been that long ago, and I remember Trump's Warp Speed mandate to get a 'vaccine' out fast.

But that does not change the facts that various probes that could have exposed shit before 2020 just killed time and managed to not expose anything, but reasonable smart people in this here blog, including a mr JackStraw were stating that when so and so's investigation was concluded it would expose xxx.

I saw an interesting article that ckaimed the polio vaccine wasn't nearly as effective as claimed. That instead the definition of polio was changed such that it wasn't diagnosed anymore. It became gullian barer syndrome etc. A friend of mine got gb 3 months after a booster. He doesn't think it was related, but I'm a vaccine skeptic now. I know as many people who had life changing reactions to the covid vaccine (including deaths) as people i know who died from covid.

"And if traditional vaccine development takes years, but we have a new and mostly untested way to create vaccines quickly, then why the hell not!"...???
Because the time factor is a necessary part of the clinical trial regime. That's why.
5 years for animal trials and 5 years for human trials in case there is a synergistic effect with other drugs and foods/food additives plus the knock-on effect of undermining the recipient's health with unknown side effects.
The 9 month "clinical trial" for the Covid Not-a-Vaccine was glaringly not enough.
That alone was a major red flag.

It's pretty well accepted by reasonable people that the greatest factor in defeating polio wasn't the vaxxine, it was improvements in sanitation.
The polio rates had already dropped significantly before the vaxxine was ever even developed.
At this point, only history deniers challenge this.

It was exposed. That's why we all know about it. Fixing it is taking longer than we'd all like but there is very little about what was going on we don't know.
And now the guy who was most responsible for uncovering the Russia hoax is the Director of the FBI and most who were involved have already been stripped of their security clearances and the corrupt money machine that fed much of their corruption is officially gone.
But the island I live on still has the same high water mark as it did in the 1600s when it was charted by Giovanni da Verrazzano. The ice caps not only haven't melted they are growing. Climate scientists predictions have guided much of our public policy since the 1970s when the global warming hoax was created and not single prediction they've made has come true.

Do they continue to insist that the rest of us should take action on their predictions? Switch to windmills, declare climate change to be the #1 security threat and commence building fighter jets that run on Wesson oil, take away gas stoves, etc?
The doctor tells me I have six months to live, so I quit my job, tick a bunch of things off my bucket list, say my good-byes, and then... feel fine at six months. The doctors says "Oops, make that 18 months." Lather rinse repeat. The doctor says "Oops, make that 3 years."
I'm not going to listen to that doctor ever again.

Dad was one of my small town's professional class, and he worked with the local dentist to implement fluoride in the local water. Dr Epple said he could tell kids who grew up locally versus the kids who grew up elsewhere because the cavities did go down after the addition. Mom's family is local, and she always claimed there was such a thing as "Willamette Valley teeth" and everyone when she was a kid had terrible teeth, and I suspect it is because the local soil lacks a number of important elements like phosphorus.
Fluoride does change enamel, AIIANM it enables phosphorous to be included in enamel but there may be some side effects for our bodies as well.
The studies that indicate that it is detrimental to kid's brains is concerning, and perhaps fluoride should just be in toothpaste and spit out, not in the drinking water

Another way to get her attention is when she looks at you, lick your eyebrows.
Of course if you cannot lick your eyebrows, don't try now. It's really off-putting when all you can reach is your nose.

You are remarkably certain about that. You have incontrovertible proof, I'm sure!
OK, then. What DOES cause autism--which has suddenly (last 20 years) become a thing? Or the prevalence of allergies, which were not "a thing" 60-75 years ago?

You mean start with basic scientific principles? It's mind-boggling to me that these "scientists" are unaware of fundamental approaches, practices, etc.
Harvard has added Bonehead Algebra to its freshman curriculum. They should add Bonehead Science, in which students don't need to learn any facts, just methods.
Posted by: Blonde Morticia at March 30, 2025 01:29 PM (lCaJd)
If a student going into a 4 year university needs a Bonehead course - math, English, science - they should never have been admitted in the first place. Its a sign that the college or university is desperate for money, and will take anyone with a pulse.
I know they've been in place in some state schools for at least 35 years.
Having said that, a high school course that should be offered is "Critical Thinking, or How to Spot the Bullshit".

You can buy fluoride at WalMart or Amazon, ESPE, and also purchase two night mouth guards and mold them to your teeth.
Put a small stream of fluoride in each, put them on for ten minutes then do not rinse or eat for 30 minutes.

My doctor is the exact opposite- they are out there. I asked about shingles, he said we can talk more when I am 60-65, but right now I am healthy, I take no medications, etc. and he thinks the risk/reward is not worth it at this time. He doesn’t like the side effects of the HPV vaccine, so my daughter hasn’t gotten it. He was a big no on the Covid vaccine from the start.

I have a theory, besides the incentive to over diagnose.
I think autism is an extreme example of having what my Mother called 'a noisy head'. Too many neurons and too many firing all the time. I think that we have essentially done too much selection for smartness, ie, too many generations of smart people marrying smart people because that is their cohort. By the third or fourth generation it is getting too crowded in the children's noggins.
That's my theory anyways.

"On why scientists are so easily fooled by "climate change"...
They have to give a "nod" to global warming, or they don't get funding are become outcasts. One video I saw about some island with a muddy water side attributed it to "global warming". Then later in the video they showed it was actually because of some clear cut areas on the island with erosion bringing muddy water into the ocean.
I can imagine them getting the funding by showing the "climate shange" part to the powers that be. There seem to be a lot of cases of "due to global warming" extraneous comments in such "studies". Or "ocean rise due to global warming" ... have to bend the knee to get the bucks.

"Went to see my doctor recently.
He said 'Hey sorry, have some bad news, you've only got three months to live'.
I said doc, that's rough, wow. Oh I've got some bad news, too. I don't have enough money right now to pay your bill.
'OK, six months!'".

On why scientists are so easily fooled by "climate change"
My guess in that is that initially it was professional trust and a lack of time. Say you're Dr Jenkins, Biologist, and some climate guy publishes a paper in National Science Trust and its peer-reviewed. You are not a climatologist, and you don't have the time to study this, you just trust that the system works and they know what they are talking about.
But after Climaquddick proved the fraud and manipulation of data, the deleting counter data to produce the hockey stick, the refusal to share work to anyone who questions their work... a lot of them hopped off the band wagon and are more quiet about it now.
Trepanning.
Gotta let those extra thoughts out!

I don’t know what causes it, but I can tell you my story. My daughter hit all her milestones until almost 4. She walked early and well. She spoke early and well. She showed absolutely zero balance issues - in fact, she displayed a very early acumen toward rhythm and dance that we thought she may even be a phenom. And then she wasn’t. Her emotional regulation stopped and she became an angry, over reactive child. Her sensitivity to sounds, clothes, multiple people talking went into hyperdrive. She stopped singing, she stopped being able to dance, her motor skills regressed, she went from insisting on wearing flip flops and cute flats to not being able to at all because she started toe walking. She still is over reactive, but through a lot of hard work and behavioral therapy, it’s in check, but not normal. Her gate is still not normal, her fine motor skills are something we have to work at every day and her affect is not normal. There is no family history. Yet here we are.

Catch her eye.
Immediately look a little sheepish (but not too sheepish)
Look away.
Immediately look back and think about smiling, but don't actually smile. It'll give you just the right hint of a smile without looking like you're trying to smile.
Then look away for real, pretend she doesn't exist, and talk to somebody else for a bit.

The reality is that there many, safe, effective, lifesaving vaccines available, and the experience with these in the 20th century is a wonderful example of the power of science.
Yes. And also no. Those terrific vaccines also come with consequences. They're rare. But they happen. A certain number of children, a very small number, will be grievously injured by them. The odds are very much in favor of vaccination. But some tiny fraction of children will be on the wrong side of those odds. We have a whole pharma-friendly apparatus, the vaccine court, to address these unfortunate consequences. There's really no such thing as a free lunch when it comes to pharmaceuticals. Even the best drugs are going to have negative externalities. And that's without even considering the (unlikely to my mind) possibility that these vaccines are responsible for the uptick in autism diagnoses. I'd like to see us get to the same place with drugs that conservatives have slowly moved toward with laws: anytime you approve one, someone's likely to die as a a result. We should be a little more circumspect about it.

This is becoming a common topic of conversation among my age demographic. I had a very good doc for 20+ years. In the aftermath of Obamacare, he took retirement. Too much paperwork, increasing patient load.
The guy that followed became known as Doogie Howser among his patients. Nice guy, probably qualified, but just unable to establish any rapport with his paients. He even grew a beard to, I think, appear a bit wizened. He took a very early 'retirement', after two years.
Latest is a forty something female. We'll see. The common complaint that I hear is 'They listen, but dont hear', or they hear, but don't listen'.

Yeah, doc is convinced I have diabetes, and I have a lot of the symptoms, but I suspect its something... else, but similar. For example, my body stores sugar, I had like triple the normal level of Triglycerides in my system. This has been true for decades. That's not normal for diabetes.
Another oddity is that its not just sugar that gives me problems its ANY sweetener: sucralose, stevia, alcohol sugars, aspertame, it doesn't matter. Causes angina and overall weakness and full body aches if I get too much. So I just avoid it all. Docs hear me say that and shrug, then ignore it. That seems... significant to me.

Utah has become the first state in the U.S. to ban fluoride in public drinking water after Governor Spencer Cox signed H.B. 81 into law. The legislation prohibits cities and communities from adding fluoride to their water systems, despite opposition from some dentists and health organizations who warn of potential medical problems. Other states, including Florida, Ohio, and South Carolina, are considering similar legislation.

Back in '97 I enrolled in a cooking school. You had to prove you had your baby shots. Since I was well into my 40's, my baby book was hard to decipher so I had to get the MMR shot again. I was annoyed but I was told to look at it as a booster, since they didn't really know how long the baby vaxes lasted.

The first doctor to publish an article about a possible and I repeat possible, connection between the measles mumps and rubella shot and autism was Dr Andrew Wakefield. He has been excoriated as a quack (which I uncritically accepted). But after the covid debacle I decided I would go on Rumble and listen to the doctor himself.
He explains in an interview with Steve Kirsch that there were 13 authors of the original article, and it was given, not the usual three peer reviews by Lancet, but five reviews. Lancet thought it was solid enough to publish.
Then the big Pharma companies jumped all over the medical establishment, and all 13 doctors had their licenses threatened, and yanked actually. Not because the National Health Service in England had disproven anything about the article, but because it was a financial threat to the vaccine industry.
So this doesn't prove a connection, but correlation, although it isn't proof, is definitely a red flag that warrants further investigation. Which is all the original article claimed.
So before dismissing Dr Wakefield's idea out of hand, it would be good to go and listen to what the man said for himself.

Show me the testing done for doing all the vaccines on the schedule per the schedule. At best I believe there is testing for individual vaccines, but I doubt even that exists based on FOI requests by "the loon" RFK.
RFK is quite reasonably asking that vaccines mandated by the government be properly tested. The fact that causes such hysteria from the pharmaceutical industry implies either they don't know, or they do know and the news isn't good.

How can we trust ANY vaccine anymore after the scamdemic?
How do we know they aren't sneaking the covid vax into all the other vaccines?
At 72 I'll just take my chances and keep the pony paste handy

Why chickenpox? So not only do that have vaccine, they have "shingles" vaccines too.
It used to be the only people who got shingles were sourpuss "Mr. Wilson" types who hated kids. Getting exposed to kids who had had chickenpox was how you boosted your immunity to not get shingles.
