Thimerosal was removed from vaccines in U.S. 20 years ago, except for one seldom used multi-dose flu vaccine. And what happened after thimerosal was removed from vaccines in the U.S.? Nothing, except autism rates actually increased (shifting diagnostic criteria). article attached

Iceland switched on the biggest air-cleaning machine on Earth. In May 2024, a facility called Mammoth began operations in Iceland. Built by Swiss company Climeworks, it’s designed to remove up to 36,000 tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year – 10 times more than…

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview in March 2025 with the understanding it would only be released after her death. This is her final message from it.
RIP Jane Goodall
Jane Goodall had a remarkable ability to inspire us to connect with the natural wonders of our world, and her groundbreaking work on primates and the importance of conservation opened doors for generations of women in science. Michelle and I are thinking of all those who loved…
Very important: schools can spend a lot of mental health money on programs taught by adults and get little benefit. Or they can spend little and get big benefits from rolling back the screen-based school day and giving more play, recess, and social interaction. @LetGrowOrg
Once again, a universal, school based, social-emotional learning prevention intervention shows ZERO effect. Huge sample, delivered with a high degree of skill and nothing. Time to stop wasting money on teaching kids this stuff. They aren’t interested. psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/2026-…
He's right. The attack on truth is real.
We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven. The degree to which those comments can undermine public health, do harm to women who are pregnant, create anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic –…

Tylenol, or paracetamol, has been used to treat common pains and fevers since 1893, and is one of the safest drugs around go.nature.com/3W6aHU8
This is important, but in the sciences, I feel like it's a bit oversimplified. Finding a correlation, can be a great way to spur further investigation. They don't identify cause, but correlations are often valuable (not here!). A lack of correlation is also pretty useful.
