Vaccine skeptic hired to conduct government study on whether vaccines cause autism

Similarly - they are planning on releasing their own anti trans report, which will be used to hurt trans people. Please be prepared for this. We need help.

Wouldn't that involve them causing autism to prove it does?

"I'm autistic because I was a test subject for a government op..."

bruh...

Th3ry will continue to search until they find the answer they want

There's no such thing as a "vaccine skeptic".
Skeptic implies that they could have their opinion swayed if presented with evidence. The fact that they're still "skeptical" despite literal mountains of evidence shows that they only call themselves "skeptics" because it makes them sound reasonable, when in reality if they could have been swayed by reason they would have changed their minds a long time ago.

WaPo strikes again with a plausibly deniable disinformation title, using the word "skeptic" wrong on purpose. I expect nothing less from Bezos.

Honestly, I think this is awesome.

Autism isn't a fucking defect

pro-worm but agaisnt vaccines.

There was never a link to begin with. Never.

These people have co-opted the work "skeptic".

I grew up Orthodox and became skeptical of god's role in my life, now I'm agnostic.

My parents became "skeptical" of vaccines. Once they found their first antivax substack they are no longer "skeptical" but rather certain vaccines cause autism and covid vax causes heart attacks.

I find it hilarious (sad) they stop being skeptical once they find "proof" of their suspicions and then claim to be skeptics.

They of course have seen all the research supporting vaccines and deemed it insubmissable because it was funded by big pharma or the WHO (CHINA).

The only science they believe is the shit pushed by their "independent" researchers (crunchy influencers).

🤮

If the word "skeptic" in the title actually meant that, this would be a good thing. It's good to be skeptic about everything until you're shown evidence. The problem here is that those folks aren't really skeptic.

“You’ll never believe it, Mr Kennedy. According to our data, vaccines causes cancer”, he says, smiling. “Once we increased our vaccination rates, cancer became a major cause of death within 15 years. I suspect that far fewer people will die of cancer, if we simply roll our policies back

Someone please create a AI video of a debate with Trump about vaccines, where he gets dunked.

If they don't play fair, we don't have to either.

They really should review dihydrogen monoxide which is continually pushed by doctors but has a 100% mortality rate! DO YOUR RESEARCH!

I feel like using terms like "vaccine skeptic" for these morons is a major PR win for them. It makes it sound way more legitimate than it is. Fuck corporate media sanewashing everything going on politically right now.

"LET'S FIGURE OUT AND CURE AUTISM" they say as if a considerable amount of humanity's greatest inventions/discoveries aren't accredited to people across the spectrum.

I hope this is a situation like the documentaries made to prove flat earth that do the opposite

Headline later...

90% of people with autism were vaccinated! Vaccines cause autism!

Actual data later

90% of the population is vaccinated. The rate of autism in the 90% and remaining unvaccinated 10% is exactly the same.

I feel like I should start wearing a mask again in stores and other crowds, because this administration is going to kill me if I wait for the experts.

ps There are no experts anymore just these anti vaccine loony fuckshits.

With data manipulation you can prove that vaccines cause pigs to fly

Being skeptic is not bad. Not seek nor relay on scientific evidences is the problem...

I'd just like to caveat that a slim majority of American voters outdid themselves to undo decades of past hard-won progress.

Is that the patient 0 of that autism claim? The one that was discredited decades ago (both the person and the claim)?

The biggest problem with him was, he just couldn't admit he had been wrong and continued to spout the bullshit, thus discovering a moderately profitable grift. And now his son is continuing it.

We know what contributes a lot to developing autism. It's pollution, more specifically small particle matter found in for example car exhaust. The same cars for which they're now killing the environmental regulations.

As long as it's peer reviewed, this is fine. If they want to try and pass off faulty research as if it were valid, then all they're going to do is embarrass themselves.
