Dr. Jay Battacharya just spent 4.5 hours on Andrew Huberman's podcast discussing health.

He revealed mind-blowing facts about autism research, vaccine safety, & how our medical establishment really works...

Here are 8 of his most shocking insights: 🧵 Image
1/ His Own University Tried to Silence Him

Stanford's dean directly told Bhattacharya to stop speaking to the press during COVID.

They even "ordered him to redo" his immunity study when they didn't like the results.

"Stanford failed the academic freedom test," he said.
2/ Autism Rates Have Exploded and Nobody Knows Why

1 in 31 kids now has autism according to the CDC.

Bhattacharya's shocking admission: "Everyone has their pet theory for why and yet we don't know why. I as a scientist do not know the answer."

But here's where it gets crazy...
3/ Most Scientific Studies Can't Be Replicated

The replication crisis is so bad that drug companies do their own private studies because "they don't trust the published biomedical literature."

Translation: Most medical research is junk.
4/ Americans Are the World's "Piggy Bank" for Drug Research

"American taxpayers are the piggy bank for the world," Bhattacharya revealed.

Pharmacy benefit managers inflate prices while Europe pays "marginal costs."

Time to cut out the middlemen.
5/ He's Launching a Massive, Unbiased Autism Investigation

The NIH is starting a major initiative to investigate ALL potential causes of autism.

Environmental factors, nutrition, vaccines, everything is on the table.

No predetermined conclusions.
6/ American Life Expectancy Was Stagnant Even Before COVID

While European nations saw health gains, American life expectancy was "almost entirely flat" from 2012-2019.

Despite billions in healthcare spending, we're not actually improving American health outcomes.
7/ They Covered Up COVID's Origins

Scientific institutions should "come clean" about federal money potentially funding COVID-19 origin research.

The government even banned NIH contractor EcoHealth Alliance for failing to oversee the Wuhan lab.
8/ Young Scientists Drive Innovation, But the System Crushes Them

Bhattacharya's research proves young scientists are the most innovative.

Yet the system forces them to serve established scientists for decades.

His plan: Redirect funding to young investigators.
The transformation is already happening...

Bhattacharya froze 80% of NIH's budget and laid off over 1,000 employees.

University funding is being slashed from 50-60% down to 15%.

He's shifting focus from infectious diseases to chronic diseases affecting every American family.
His reform agenda is radical:

→ Investigating taboo topics like vaccine injuries and autism causes
→ Breaking up the scientific "old boys club"
→ Prioritizing replication over flashy new research
→ Cutting pharmaceutical middlemen
→ Restoring transparency to public health

President Trump just hosted a ceremony at the White House.

One by one, Trump delivered major announcements on the Big Beautiful Bill and what's coming next—directly to the American people.

Here’s everything you should know (and no joke, it gets crazier the further you read): 🧵 Image
1/ The Historic Legislative Victory

Trump just signed the largest omnibus bill in American history:

• $4.5 trillion in tax cuts made permanent
• $1.7 trillion in spending cuts
• Combined 6-7 separate bills into one package
• Signed on July 4th for maximum symbolic impact
2/ The Political Consolidation Masterclass

Trump's approach to getting this passed:

• Made the bill so comprehensive every member found something to support
• "No matter who you are, there was something in that bill for you"
• Final House vote: 218-214 (not a single Democrat voted yes)

Major Breakthroughs in Startup Tax Law.

Trump just signed the biggest tax overhaul for entrepreneurs in decades into law.

The QSBS expansion includes THREE game-changing benefits most investors don't know about yet.

You won't believe what you're about to hear.

A Thread 🧵 Image
GAME-CHANGER #1: The 5-Year Cliff is Dead

The old system was a trap, wait 5 years or lose everything.

New tiered exclusions:

• 50% tax-free gains at 3 years
• 75% tax-free gains at 4 years
• 100% tax-free gains at 5+ years

This single change revolutionizes exit timing. Image
The numbers don't lie.

Founder with $8M in gains after 4 years:

Old system: $1.6M+ straight to the IRS
New system: Only $400K in taxes (75% exclusion)
Result: $1.2M stays in your pocket.

That's wealth preservation at scale.

The UK economy just hit a devastating tipping point that should terrify every British household.

For the first time in two years, disposable income is collapsing at record speed.

Here's what's driving the decline—and why Starmer's key economic promise just imploded.

A Thread🧵 Image
Q1 2025: UK becomes fastest-growing G7 economy at 0.7%.

Same quarter: Household disposable income drops 1% — sharpest decline since 2023.

This contradiction reveals something critical about Britain's economic reality. Image
December 2024: Keir Starmer sets his government's key milestone.

"We will measure progress through higher Real Household Disposable Income per person by end of parliament."

5 months later: Real disposable income declined instead.

The world's most valuable AI company is hemorrhaging its brightest minds — and the reason why will shock you.

Since 2023, OpenAI has lost 10+ key leaders including its CTO and Chief Research Officer.

But the real story isn't who left — it's where they're going... (thread) Image
Image
The numbers are devastating.

Only 3 of @OpenAI's original 11 founders remain.

In September, the CTO, Chief Research Officer, and VP of Research quit on the same day.

This isn't normal turnover. This is systematic abandonment. Image
There's a photo from March 2023 showing OpenAI's leadership team.

Today, only Sam Altman remains.

Every other executive fled to the same competitor: Image

President Trump just hosted a press briefing at the White House.

One by one, Trump and Pam Bondi delivered major announcements and clues on what's coming next—directly to the American people.

Here’s everything you should know (and no joke, it gets crazier the further you read): Image
1/ The Supreme Court Double Victory

Two massive 6-3 Supreme Court rulings announced simultaneously:

• Nationwide injunctions effectively dead

But this was just the beginning of what Trump revealed...
2/ The Immediate Policy Avalanche

Policies now moving forward without court interference:

• Birthright citizenship (30-day countdown)
• Sanctuary city funding cuts
• Refugee resettlement suspension
• Federal transgender surgery funding stopped

Major Breakthroughs in US-China Trade Negotiations.

The critical minerals standoff just ended with a breakthrough agreement signed yesterday.

Trump secured THREE key commitments from Beijing the media isn't reporting.

You won't believe what you're about to hear.

A Thread 🧵 Image
After two months of economic warfare that crippled American factories, US and Chinese negotiators met in London this week.

The result? A framework agreement that changes everything.

But the strategic implications run much deeper.
Context is critical.

April 4: China imposed export licensing on seven rare earth elements essential for defense systems, automotive production, and clean energy.

The economic weapon was devastating. Image
