After this week, I will no longer be commenting on the #UrgencyOfNormal document. I feel I've said all I have to say. It's most telling that they used suicides when convenient and now don't mention them when not. ("we've updated our slides!!!!!")

If they do new stuff, I may.

I've talked to members on the phone. Emailed them. Corresponded with journalists and institutions. It's overwhelming, trying to correct the mis-cited, one-sided, and biased MH picture they painted.

I have other things I want to do, personally and professionally.

I've sent the lead author data that SHOULD be included in his review of mental health, but because it goes against the narrative, I fear he will be unsuccessful in adding it because his ideologue partners more than happy to continue to "hide refuting, show supporting."

Conversations with them have gone from mad-respect-wow like with the lead author to bizarre.

I believe they may believe what they say, but I also know many of them couldn't find objective science if it was stapled to their nosepiece of the mask they don't wear.

It is not well known that I have tremendous social anxiety - I HATE CONFRONTATION. I'm just too freaking principled to allow people to mis-cite, mis-retract, mis-state. I've been doing science debunks since MSG allergy in the 90s. I care about science.

If you want to follow me, my threads will be always about what science has to say, and i bring data. If you find that compelling, great! i'll try to stick more to areas of interest and give you new science as it comes

I really want less fighting on this app and i'm exhausted.
