The CDC will waste money on a study to find a link between #vaccines and #autism — REVISED a previous article that left out a whole section on autism science.

Elon Musk called veteran combat pilot Sen Mark Kelly a traitor for supporting Ukraine makes my blood boil.

Trump ran on lowering the price of eggs, restoring freedom of speech, ending the war in Ukraine and making America “great again.” Eggs are more expensive than ever, peaceful protestors are being arrested without cause and we’ve abandoned Ukraine. So, when exactly does the “great again” part start?

The #CDC is planning ANOTHER #vaccines and #autism study using the Vaccine Safety Datalink. We have over 160 studies that have debunked the claims, but you know who is probably pushing the CDC to waste more money on this nonexistent link.
