Spoiler alert: The study will be positive. It will find an association between vaccines and autism, because that’s what RFK Jr. wants. He will make sure the investigators are chosen to produce this result. www.reuters.com/business/hea... - ThreadSky

And then anti-vaxxers will say, "Here's the proof that we were right and Big Pharma was lying all along!" Sigh.

And who do they think is gonna profit from the "cure"? /sigh

Floridians already know how this ends. https://www.bmj.com/content/380/bmj.p110

Yeah everybody better know the names of any scientists or doctors associated with Children’s Health Defense before this paper comes out!

kshpil.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yup. The study will probably be done by Dr Mawson (author of this bs https://perma.cc/48KV-BH4B) and published in record time in this new journal https://www.science.org/content/article/new-journal-co-founded-nih-nominee-raises-eyebrows-misinformation-fears

Spoiler alert 2: there is no causal link

gorskon.bsky.social•5 days ago

True, but that won’t stop them.

Later he'll prove that water is an inappropriate medium to use for wetting things.

Not a fan of RFK Jr, however parents of autistic children were upset in 2002 when Republicans did this

He’s going to destroy the CDC and defecate on the work of generations of dedicated scientists. How can this be called anything other than evil?

✅And there will be no shortage of those willing to do so.

They have already created a fake medical journal to publish their fake results.

You are correct, without a doubt!

I feel like media needs to throw more vitriol that Wakefield didn't just believe vaccines caused autism, he believed they created a new super autism that ALSO inflames your colon and his "study" was abusing kids with laxatives searching for the elusive poo autism

kahturakarfai.bsky.social•5 days ago

Wakefield also held the patent for an alternative measles-only vaccine. He was a plain old grifter.

kevin.crime.group•5 days ago

Gonna give Wakefield his license back just to run this study

therealdealsteve.bsky.social•4 days ago

RFK Jr should be subjected to the methods used on children by Wakefield in his “studies”. That he, Wakefield, was released from prison after these disclosures is the only surprising element of his story.

stephanienoblit.bsky.social•5 days ago

This is my fear as well. They will use junk science and cherry-picked data to push the anti-vaxx narrative.

gorskon.bsky.social•5 days ago

That’s exactly what’s going to happen.

copeg.bsky.social•1 day ago

There are those that believe science is an exercise in confirmation bias. They don’t value evidence, and certainly won’t ever change their minds. These are not traits of a good scientist, but that of sleazy politicians
