AN UPDATE ABOUT THE PRESS GALLERY
I finally have an update about The Press Gallery (the newspaper clippings book), though it's not a positive one.

You try going to a hospital for cancer treatments and shelling out $20. It’s so insulting…I hope this minister never gets sick

Nonsense:
1. We have overwhelming evidence vaccines don’t cause autism +
2. Overwhelming evidence for the genetic basis of autism +
3. Evidence for environmental exposures in early pregnancy interacting with autism genes
4. But that won’t line the pockets of antivaccine groups
What is the media’s agenda in trying to hide THIS side of autism? ⬇️
The media, owned by Big Pharma, doesn’t want you to know that thousands of profound cases of autism exist because you too might start asking about the “cause” and if the cause has anything to do with pharmaceutical products, the media and Big Pharma are BOTH financially incentivized to hide and ignore their role in this epidemic.

But this js false, there are multiple studies comparing vaccinated vs unvaccinated, I will list a few
🚨 BREAKING: RFK Jr. Exposes a MAJOR Flaw in the Autism Data:
“They never compared vaccinated to unvaccinated kids.”
“The studies they did were very, very narrow. The National Academy of Sciences says 14 of them are invalid.”
“They never looked at the vaccinated versus unvaccinated group—which is the only way you can make the determination.”
Even more shocking:
“None of the vaccines given to children in the first six months of life were ever studied.”
“Everything is on the table.”
“We KNOW an environmental factor is causing this cataclysm.”

I’m devastated, but I’m also angry.
I’m angry because this is an attack on press freedom.
If opportunities can be stripped from journalists simply because enough people repeat the same bad-faith narrative, how can anyone withstand the career impact of doing work that matters?

Total nonsense. First DTP is 3 vaccines, MMR debunked, his thimerosal Rolling Stone article debunked, neurodevelopmental processes from autism genes occur in early pregnancy, he refuses to investigate 4-5 environmental toxins that actually interact with autism genes in pregnancy
RFK Jr: “EVERYTHING is gonna change” with CDC vaccine policy
🔥 This is exactly what I voted for.
“None of the vaccines that are given during the first 6 months of life have ever been tested for autism—the only one was the DTP vaccine.”
“And that one study that was done, according to the National Academy of Sciences, found that there was a link.”
“They threw out that study because it was based upon CDC’s surveillance system, VAERS, and they said that system is no good.”
“That begs the question, why doesn’t CDC have a functional surveillance system?”
“We’re gonna make sure they do have a functional surveillance system.”
“They don’t do pre-licensing safety testing for vaccine. They’re the only product that’s exempt. So what they say is, if there are injuries, we’ll capture them afterward.”
“But they have a system that doesn’t capture them.”
“In fact, CDC’s own study of its own system said it captures fewer than 1% of vaccine injuries.”
“Why have we gone for 39 years and nobody’s fixed it?”
“We’re gonna fix it.”
“We’re gonna have gold standard science … we’re gonna publish all of our datasets, which CDC has never done.”
“We’re gonna do replication of all our studies, which CDC has never done.”
“We’re gonna publish our peer review, which CDC has never done.”

Important reporting getting to the ugly reality of these actions.
Elon Musk says that no one has died because he slashed humanitarian aid. I went to South Sudan to check if that's true. It's not. Within an hour of starting interviews, I had the names of a 10-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl who had died because of decisions by wealthy men in Washington.
The visit that moved me the most was to a remote area that used to have no health care, where women routinely died in childbirth. Then a US-funded maternity clinic opened through @UNFPA in December, and not one woman has died since. I showed up, and people mistakenly thought I was responsible for the clinic. One new mom wanted to name her baby for me, and the village elders thanked me and hailed America's generosity. What they didn't know was that Trump/Musk had cut all funding for UNFPA and that as a result the maternity clinic will close this month, and women will once again be bleeding to death in the dust.

Donald Trump declared economic war on everyone at once — including his allies — and now he’s losing.
Because he’s an idiot.
