If any pro-vaccine study did something like this, the anti-vax movement would broadcast it so loud and make it the centerpiece of a documentary. But, bc the anti-vax movement is fundamentally about eugenics and propaganda, they'll just hand-wave it away, play the victim, and move on.

In this context “institutionalized” often means hospitalized, because disabled people who can’t care for themselves in the community inevitably get sick. They then remain hospitalized even after recovering because there is no safe place for them to go. Bad for everyone.

Gee, I wonder what that study on vaccines and autism will show www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/... "Geier and his father, Mark Geier, have published papers claiming vaccines increase the risk of autism, a theory that has been studied for decades and scientifically debunked."

Sitting very uncomfortably with the realization that the disruption to equity-related research will probably disproportionately affect early and mid-career women in academia, who are still recovering from being disproportionately impacted by the pandemic

Please do yourself a favor and listen to Sen. Hassan emotionally comment and blast RFKJr on his stance on vaccine and autism and spreading lies. This is emotional, brilliant. As father who has lived this as well this blew me away. Thank you Senator. www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_zG...
