    I’m expecting the current administration to intervene and a) frame him as a hero, b) exonerate him of the theft charges, and c) offer him a paid position in the administration.

    Edit: Nevermind, I read that wrong. He’s pro-vax.

      If I’m reading this right you’ve got it the wrong way around. His studies showed no link between autism and vaccines. The current administration wants to go after him because his studies prove their anti-vaccine bullshit is wrong.

      I think they’re trying to uno reverse here. This is a researcher that showed the vaccine and autism link was not credible.

      MAHA and Kennedy are going after him.

    Dude is a regular thief. Vaccines are irrelevant.

    The idea that research would be retracted simply because the author is a shit-heel would decimate all of human knowledge. The Epstein scandal alone could cause a new dark age.

    Posting because it pisses me off but I think news is about staying informed. More than ever we need to be aware this is what those fucking MAGA are using.
