THREAD: Does the early administration of vaccines increase the risk of autism? Let's see what Pubmed says.
"A review of medical literature and US government data suggests that: (i) many cases of idiopathic autism are induced by early mercury exposure from thimerosal; (ii) this type of autism represents an unrecognized mercurial syndrome; and (iii) genetic and non-genetic factors establish a predisposition whereby thimerosal's adverse effects occur only in some children." pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11339848/
"Thimerosal-treated mice exhibited neural development delay, social interaction deficiency, and inclination of depression. Apparent neuropathological changes were also observed in adult mice neonatally treated with thimerosal. High-throughput RNA sequencing of autistic-behaved mice brains revealed the alternation of a number of canonical pathways involving neuronal development, neuronal synaptic function, and the dysregulation of endocrine system." pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24675092/
"In phase I, it was observed that there was a significantly increased risk ratio for the incidence of ASD reported following the Thimerosal-containing DTaP vaccine in comparison to the Thimerosal-free DTaP vaccine. In phase II, it was observed that cases diagnosed with an ASD were significantly more likely than controls to receive increased organic-Hg from Thimerosal-containing hepatitis B vaccine administered within the first, second, and sixth month of life."
At the UN's taxpayer-funded #COP29, self-appointed philosopher kings are ordaining we plebes be forced to eat vegetarian; meanwhile, what do you think is on the menu at their confab? You guessed it!
The following images & video reports come via my friend Marc Morano (@ClimateDepot), who is on the ground at COP29.
Marc reports that despite demanding taxpayers start paying extra for the crime of eating meat, at COP29 there is no such "meat tax"
At #COP29, while not lecturing about the horrors of livestock, delegates enjoy dining on beef & chicken burgers
THREAD: In addition to his military career & drunk driving arrest, there’s another topic about which @Tim_Walz has been lying for political purposes —the conception of his own children. Since IVF treatments entered the news earlier this year, Walz has been repeatedly claiming he & his wife owe their two children to IVF. But today both CNN & the NYT confirm the Walzes did not in fact use IVF.
Here’s Walz a month ago on Chris Hayes’s show: “Today is IVF day. Thank God for IVF, my wife and I have two beautiful children.”
Here’s Walz two weeks ago in Philadelphia talking about IVF: “This gets personal for me and my family”
Here’s Walz in Wisconsin two weeks ago again claiming his kids were conceived thanks to IVF: “Some of you may have heard this. [IVF] is personal for my wife and I. When Gwen & I decided to have children, we went through years of fertility treatments. The phone would ring, tenseness in my stomach, & then the agony when you heard the treatments hadn’t worked. So it wasn’t by chance that when we welcomed our first child, our beautiful daughter, we named her Hope.”
As usual, Justice Thomas is the only justice who seems to have read the U.S. Constitution. The 2nd Amendment prohibits the federal govt from restricting an individual's right to bear arms, regardless of how politically unpopular they may be. As Justice Thomas notes, Americans can now lose their 2nd Amendment rights without due process.
Justice Thomas: The majority cites 17th century English law to justify disarming citizens, without acknowledging the 2nd Amendment was specifically intended to protect Americans from laws like this
Justice Thomas also mocks the majority for having to rely on proposed constitutional amendments that were ultimately rejected — as if their original proposition carries more weight than their being voted down.
Lest there be any doubt, the role of “fact checkers” like CNN’s Daniel Dale (@ddale8) is to create smokescreens & distractions whenever the public starts getting too close to facts.
Take the Biden WH’s engineering of the DoJ’s case against Biden’s chief political rival. Dale has regularly taken to the airwaves to insist there’s “no evidence” the Biden W.H. had anything to do with the administration’s case against Trump. Like this clip from June last year:
Despite his ostensible role as a checker of facts, we could have given Dale the benefit of the doubt, presuming perhaps he was too busy eating bear-claws to do any research.
However, I helpfully sent him a link reporting an admission from FARA that the Biden WH was in fact coordinating the anti-Trump operation.
One might expect a professional arbiter of truth to thereafter quickly take to the airwaves to issue an apology & clarification.
Instead, the unrepentant Canadian has returned to the air, spreading the same misinformation (and according to what I’ve learned from America's Ministress of Truth, Nina Jankowicz, if you knowingly spread misinformation that makes it “disinformation”). @wiczipedia
