No Kings: Peaceful Protest Providence RI #NoKings

The Trump administration has removed the chapter on climate change from the "Reference manual on scientific evidence", an essential handbook for judges as they weigh evidence in court. The response of the American Meteorological Society has just been published (below). And...[1/2]

Appreciate this OpEd for highlighting the difficulty of getting people to understand the risks of RFK Jr.’s anti-science agenda. Now, if we could get a crystal ball and show people what will be happening in 5-10 years as a result of his policies, I think we’d have a sizeable protest every week.

Peaceful Protest in Providence RI

5/5 autismsciencefoundation.org/press_releas...

4/5 “We know that genetic factors play the biggest role; hundreds of genes have been linked to autism, and inherited or spontaneous changes in these genes can alter brain development”

3/5 “No new data or scientific studies were presented or shared. No new studies have been published in the literature. No new presentations on this topic were made at scientific or medical conference”

2/5 “RFK and President Trump have shared their belief that vaccines cause autism, but this is also not supported by the science, which has shown no relationship between vaccines and autism.”

Autism Science Foundation Statement on White House Announcement on Autism 1/5 “Any association between acetaminophen and autism is based on limited, conflicting, and inconsistent science and is premature,”

Many studies have shown that there is no relationship between MMR vaccine and the development of autism. Here are two of the best. This one followed every single child born in Denmark from 1991 through 1998 (n=537,303). There was no association.

It has been suggested that vaccination against measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) is a cause of autism. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of all children born in Denmark from January 1991 th...

mRNA vaccines have been proven safe by the scientific and medical communities. Before use, they undergo extensive testing involving thousands of participants, monitored by regulatory agencies. Once again, the anti-science movement impacts all of us. What will we do if there is a #BirdFlu pandemic?

Vaccines don’t cause autism. Vaccines aren’t even associated with autism. The biggest predictor of autism? GENETICS. We have decades of data and millions of data points that to show this. This lie insults people with autism too — as if it’s an “adverse effect” of medicine. 1/

Tell me there is no anti-science movement. In 2023, scientists gave the Nobel Prize to those who developed mRNA vaccines. This is how much we trust and believe in them. To have vaccines *BANNED* less than 2 years later can't have other intentions rather than just causing more sickness and suffering
