Well, this week the president supported medical advice from a non-medical doctor who was a heroin addict for 14 years (and says he did better in school because of it?), and had a brain worm eating his brain, and who eats road kill. The advice is not supported by science or the medical community, but our president pathetically supports RFK Jr. and his anti-vaccine views. Saw a few memes this week that apply:
Autism was first diagnosed in 1943, 12 years before Tylenol was produced. It was not the first case of it, just the first time a doctor named it and pointed out the set of symptoms that go with it. Autism has, per the expert I went to hear at a conference on it, a genetic predilection, and is likely triggered by repetitive exposure to a trigger - such as repeated exposure to food preservatives. A one time vaccine such as the MMR would not trigger it and that vaccine is not the cause per very large studies over time.
Per AI overview:
Danish cohort studies
Perhaps Donald wants to use this to distract from the Epstein files.

We have been hearing many complaints from the right that the left needs to tone down the rhetoric. Seems hypocritical as Donald says he hates his opponents, and his aide, Stephen Miller said this:
hmmm.....
The Trump administration's acceptance of corruption and hypocrisy was made obvious this week:
There needs to be a blog listing all the corruption in the Trump administration. Trump excels at that.

Danish cohort studies
- A 2002 study in The New England Journal of Medicine reviewed data from over 537,000 children born in Denmark between 1991 and 1998. It found no association between MMR vaccination and a diagnosis of autism or other autism spectrum disorders.
- A 2019 follow-up study in Annals of Internal Medicine evaluated over 657,000 Danish children over more than 10 years. This study found no increased risk of autism for vaccinated children compared to unvaccinated ones, including in subgroups of children with higher risk factors for autism, such as an older sibling with the condition.
- A 2015 study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) investigated over 95,000 children in the United States who had older siblings. The researchers found no increased risk of autism among children who received the MMR vaccine, regardless of whether their older sibling had autism.
- Several studies conducted in Japan found no connection between MMR and autism. These are particularly notable because Japan temporarily removed the MMR vaccine from its schedule between 1989 and 1993. Researchers found that autism rates continued to rise even after the MMR vaccine was withdrawn.
