Re: Dr. Frederick Klenner 1/ Dr. Frederick Klenner was a small-town physician in the 1940s–60s who claimed massive doses of vitamin C could cure polio, measles, mumps, diphtheria, pneumonia, MS, cancer — essentially everything.
Today, antivax influencers still cite him as “proof” medicine is hiding cures.

1/ A claim on Jubilee was made that we “already know what stops cancer dead in its tracks: VO₂ max.”

It’s appealing, intuitive, and partly grounded in truth.

But the evidence tells a more nuanced story, one that respects both the power and limits of exercise physiology. 2/ First: VO₂ max (cardiorespiratory fitness) is one of the strongest predictors of long-term health outcomes ever measured.

“The Berlin Patient & How Our Understanding Has Evolved — What this means for future HIV cure efforts” 1/ In 2007–08, Timothy Ray Brown — the Berlin Patient — became the first person considered cured of HIV. He received a stem-cell transplant for leukemia using donor cells homozygous for the CCR5-Δ32 mutation.

1/ How did life begin?

Abiogenesis is the idea that life arose from non-living chemistry on early Earth — step by step, not all at once.

Understanding these steps helps explain why life is the expected outcome of the right conditions. 2/ Early Earth Context

Earth 4 billion years ago wasn’t a calm blue world. It was a high-energy chemical laboratory — lightning, volcanoes, intense UV, and oceans full of reactive molecules. The environment constantly pushed chemistry forward.

1/ A document circulating online claims to be a new CDC “revision” about autism and vaccines. This thread reviews those statements and compares them with established evidence from major scientific bodies. 2/ Claim: “The statement ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not evidence-based.”

Evidence: Large-scale cohort studies repeatedly show no causal association between childhood vaccines and autism.

Part Three 1/ “The largest saline-placebo RCT in medical history.”

The 1954 Salk polio vaccine trial is the clearest evidence that childhood vaccines were tested against true saline placebos — at a scale we still haven’t repeated.

(Francis et al., Am J Public Health 1955; PMC1622829)

Part Two 1/ Why don’t vaccine trials always use saline placebos? Because once a safe, effective vaccine exists, withholding it is unethical under global medical standards.
(Declaration of Helsinki; DOI:10.1001/jama.2013.281053)

Part One 1/ Yes — every childhood vaccine has undergone controlled testing, and many were tested in true saline-placebo RCTs. When comparators were used instead of saline, it was for ethical and scientific reasons, not shortcuts.
(WMA 2013; DOI:10.1001/jama.2013.281053)

1/ A new viral post claims a “peer-reviewed study” proves COVID-19 vaccine data are biased because deaths in the first 14 days are “counted as unvaccinated.”

Let’s unpack why this is misleading — and how real studies actually work. 👇 2/ The article describes something called “case-counting window bias.”

Sounds technical, but here’s the truth: the 14-day window exists because the immune response hasn’t yet developed — not because scientists are hiding data.

1/ RFK Jr.’s favorite line:
“Show me the placebo-controlled RCT of vaccinated vs unvaccinated children!”

Sure, right after we do a trial where we withhold lifesaving interventions from kids for years.

Let’s unpack why this idea is dead on arrival. 🧵 2/ Randomization

An RCT means randomly assigning children to “vaccine” or “no vaccine.”
Translation: half the kids would be deliberately left unprotected against diseases that can kill or disable them.

That’s not science — that’s a crime against research ethics.

1/ What Is a Meta-Analysis?

What’s the highest level of evidence in medicine?

Not a single clinical trial.

Not even a large cohort study.

It’s a meta-analysis — the statistical fusion of many studies into one powerful conclusion.

Let’s unpack what that really means. 👇 2/ A meta-analysis is a type of systematic review that combines results from multiple studies on the same question — e.g., “Do mRNA vaccines reduce COVID-19 mortality?”

By pooling data, it increases statistical power and helps detect real effects that smaller studies might miss.

1/🧬 Wondering what vaccine “effectiveness” really means in 2025? Let’s unpack how context, immunity, and virus type change the story. 🔍 2/ Our world in 2025 isn’t 2020. For COVID‑19 especially, most people already have immunity (vaccine, prior infection or both). So new vaccine benefits are on top of that, not from zero.

“If You Remember One AI Disaster — Make It This One.”

For 16 hours on July 8 2025, Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok spiraled into a full-scale meltdown—posting antisemitic rants and calling itself “Mecha *itler.”

It’s the moment AI safety failed in public.
#AI #AIsafety 2/ It began with a single mistake.

An engineer accidentally pushed live code that fed Grok instructions never meant for public use.

No one noticed for hours. 📸

Ever wonder how scientists decide which studies make it into a meta-analysis or review?

That’s where PRISMA comes in — a simple, powerful tool that keeps research transparent, reproducible, and honest. 🧵 2️⃣ PRISMA stands for:
👉 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses
It’s not a database or software — it’s a reporting framework that ensures clarity in how systematic reviews are conducted and presented.

1/ Part One exposed how the McCullough Foundation Report frames bias as science.

Now we look at who’s behind it.
When the authors have a record of distortion, their “review” becomes an echo of themselves. 2/At the top of the bias pyramid sit three familiar names:

🔴 Peter McCullough
🔴 Andrew Wakefield
🔴 Nicolas Hulscher

Each has a public history of promoting false or misleading claims about vaccines.

Let’s look at what they’ve said— and why it matters.

1/ A new “McCullough Foundation Report” on Zenodo claims vaccines are the main cause of autism—authored by Andrew Wakefield & Peter McCullough, two long-discredited figures.

Let’s unpack how this paper turns framing bias into “evidence.” 2/ First red flag: Zenodo is not a peer-reviewed journal.

It’s an open repository—anyone can upload a PDF.

Labeling this upload a “report” gives it false legitimacy, but there’s no editor, no reviewer, and no data verification.

1/ Once a trusted explainer, John Campbell now misuses his platform to promote distorted takes on COVID science.

Let’s review his most viral claims — and what the actual evidence says.

2/ Vaccine Injuries
Campbell’s claim: VAERS and Yellow Card data prove hidden vaccine harms.

Reality: They flag signals, not causation.

Large studies show serious adverse events < 10 per million doses (JAMA 2023; Lancet Infect Dis 2024).

Misinformation isn’t new — it’s just faster.

From the 19th-century Moon Hoax to COVID conspiracies, falsehoods have reshaped science, health, and geopolitics.

Here’s a visual timeline of 6 of the most consequential misinformation events—and what they still teach us. 2/ The Great Moon Hoax (1835)

A tabloid story convinced readers that astronomers found “bat-men” on the Moon.

The first viral fake news story.

Lesson → Sensationalism + authority can override skepticism.

1/ “Can the immune system handle more vaccines?”

A sentimental microbiologist answers… through song.
🎵🧫❤️
@IntegralAnswers 2/ Some people worry: “Can the immune system handle all these vaccines?”

But here’s the truth — your immune system faces far more every minute of your life than vaccines ever could.

Let’s count.

1/ 🚨 BREAKING:
A “new study” claims that over 90% of autistic children consumed breast milk and/or formula.

Sounds alarming — until you realize nearly 100% of all babies do.

Let’s explore how fake science dresses up common sense in academic fonts.

“Glutathione & Vaccines — What the Science Actually Says”

Many anti-vaccine influencers cite a 2021 Frontiers in Immunology paper on glutathione to claim vaccines “deplete” your antioxidants and cause “neuroinflammation.”

That’s false — here’s what the study really says 👇 2/ The paper
📄 Fraternale et al., 2021, Front Immunol 12:638435

Title: “The Role of Glutathione in Immunity and Inflammation.”

It’s a review, not an experiment. It summarizes how glutathione supports healthy immune balance — not that vaccines harm it.
