Perhaps they’ll even get Andy Wakefield to chair this “study”?! 🙄

The past is prologue.

ROI of a negative bajillion.

joshuasharp.bsky.social•67 days ago

Not only, but I have zero confidence that these dollars will be awarded to honest brokers.

aetiology.bsky.social•67 days ago

Yep. Brian Hooker or the like who can give the results they want with the CDC stamp of approval.

riparian2.bsky.social•67 days ago

Yep; every bit as valuable as $$$ spent to study whether Earth is indeed round.

Feudalism 2.0

lovewinzalways.bsky.social•67 days ago

The intent is probably to lie and claim there's a link regardless of the results. Hoping to hell someone—anyone—blows the whistle.

and here's me planning on a trip to Canada this fall just to get an updated flu vaccine

For what it's worth...

I fear they will make up data to say there is a link.

aetiology.bsky.social•67 days ago

They don't have to make it up if they design the study and analyses to confirm their biases. Eg self-reported vaxed/unvaxed study like others have performed, full of flaws but gives the answer they want.

kausikdatta22.bsky.social•67 days ago

And they’ll publish the “study” in that fake journal of theirs. 🤷🏾‍♂️

martindev4.bsky.social•67 days ago

Not if they take a study to promote their propaganda

aetiology.bsky.social•67 days ago

Yep.

laurentguy.bsky.social•67 days ago

The CDC will “study” the link between vaccination and autism until it gets the result its political masters expect.

joewv.bsky.social•67 days ago

This will be a case study in p-hacking taught 20 years from now in medical ethics classes.

mikethemadbiol.bsky.social•67 days ago

Worse, they’ll misinterpret the results or structure the studies in such a way to claim vaccination is harmful.

caraanselmo.bsky.social•67 days ago

So very sad

monkyhead.com•67 days ago

I immediately demand CDC conduct an inquiry to see if the fairies took my cupcake

prasad.bsky.social•67 days ago

indeed

so much actual science and public health work is frozen for lack of funding

but this nutty pseudoscience appeasement project gets $$

popecrocodylus.bsky.social•67 days ago

And that's assuming they don't intend to manipulate the data this time which is a big assumption.
