🧵 So, is this the study RFK Jr is going to pin his hopes on overturning the childhood vaccine schedule? 2/ RFK Jr points to a 2020 paper (Hooker & Miller) claiming vaccinated kids are “sicker.” The paper is fatally flawed. Let’s unpack why, using plain language + stronger evidence.

A Short Thread 1/ “🧵 Ever wondered who sifts through all the medical studies to find the real truth? Meet Cochrane Reviews: the most trusted name in evidence-based healthcare. They dive into all the quality research so you get the best possible summary. #EvidenceBasedMedicine @IntegralAnswers”

🚨 RFK Jr. isn’t just opposing vaccines—he’s dismantling the very systems that deliver them.

The New Yorker lays it bare: America’s vaccine infrastructure is under attack.
🧵 #ScienceUnderAttack 2/ Vaccines don’t just appear at your doctor’s office. Pharmacies, clinics, & public health networks form the backbone of delivery.

Undermine those—and you don’t just slow vaccines. You break trust in medicine itself.

1/ 🚨 Why do GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro work so well?

They don’t force weight loss.
They work with your body’s own biology.

Let’s break it down—step by step—in simple language. 📉🧠🍽️ 2/ What is GLP-1?

GLP-1 is a hormone your gut sends to your brain after you eat.

It tells you:
✅ You’re full
✅ Slow digestion
✅ Balance blood sugar

GLP-1 agonists mimic this natural signal.

1/ The recent review claiming COVID‑19 mRNA vaccines cause “turbo cancers” is alarmist and misleading. It relies on zero new experimental or epidemiological data—just speculative interpretation of VAERS reports. 2/ VAERS is a passive, self-reporting system, prone to underreporting, incomplete data, and confounding factors. It’s not designed nor validated to establish causality between vaccines and cancer.

1/🚨 Turtles All the Way Down has become an influential antivax text—filled with distortions about vaccine safety, surveillance systems, and autism. This thread systematically debunks its key claims with peer-reviewed science. 2/💥 Claim: Vaccines cause autism.

📊 Debunk:

“Large, rigorous epidemiologic studies have concluded that vaccines are not associated with an increased risk of autism.”
— Taylor et al., Ann Intern Med 2014

🚨 RFK Jr. says:
“We need to stop trusting the experts. Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy—it’s religion and totalitarianism.”

Let’s explore what happens if we take his advice… 🧵 2/ Science depends on skepticism.

But skepticism means testing evidence—NOT rejecting expertise altogether.

Without expert knowledge, society slides into chaos. Let’s look at some absurd examples 👇

A detailed debunking of an opinion-piece penned by Jon Fleetwood. 1/ 🚨 A Substack post by Jon Fleetwood claims COVID-19 mRNA shots contain “cancer-linked SV40 genes” & dangerous DNA.

Here’s what he says vs. what the evidence shows.

America’s Lysenko moment?
With pseudoscience gaining political power, some see chilling parallels to Trofim Lysenko—Stalin’s court scientist whose ideology crippled Soviet science & cost millions of lives. Let’s unpack. 🧵
@IntegralAnswers 2/ Who was Lysenko?

Trofim Lysenko rose in the USSR by rejecting genetics. He claimed crops could be “trained” through environment, fitting Marxist ideology. Stalin embraced him. Science bent to politics.

1/ Alert: A newly published JAMA study reports on 41 U.S. children who developed influenza-associated acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE) between Oct 2023–May 2025. ANE—a rare, severe brain inflammation tied to flu—is life-threatening.

What happens when contrarian beliefs become bullets?

We’re not talking theory. We’re talking reality—from rural Australia to the CDC. Let’s unpack this. 🧵 2/ In QLD 2022, the Trains killed two police officers—convinced vaccines were satanic, police were evil, and faith justified murder.

How do conspiracies metastasize into execution?

🚨 Breaking: A Daily Beast exclusive reports that close associates of RFK Jr., now HHS Secretary, claim the Trump administration is planning to ban the COVID‑19 mRNA vaccines “within months”. Here’s what the story reveals. 2/ ⚠ This push is spearheaded by RFK Jr. and his ally Dr. Aseem Malhotra—a British cardiologist who has repeatedly criticized COVID vaccines despite widespread scientific consensus.

10-Part Mini Series: Aon Overview on Study Interpretation Part One:

1/ Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) isn’t a vague label—it has clear, structured diagnostic criteria. Let’s break down how ASD is diagnosed, and how it differs from other neurological disorders. 🧵 2/ According to the DSM-5, ASD is:
1️⃣ Persistent deficits in social communication/interaction
2️⃣ Restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior or interests
3️⃣ Symptoms begin in early development
4️⃣ Significant functional impairment
5️⃣ Not explained solely by intellectual disability

1/ In 1850, global life expectancy was ~30 years. Today it’s >70. That’s a +40 year jump in just 175 years—the most dramatic improvement in human history. What drove it? Let’s break it down. 👇 2/ 🔑 Five main factors explain the gains:
1.Control of infectious diseases
2.Clean water & sanitation
3.Better nutrition & food safety
4.Advances in medicine & health systems
5.Decline in maternal & infant mortality

1/ This isn’t just anecdotes—it’s a full-blown collapse of U.S. scientific infrastructure. Here’s what the data show: 2/ •2,100 NIH research grants terminated.
•$2.6 billion in contracts canceled.
•Up to 5,000 NIH employees impacted through layoffs or halts.

RFK Jr.’s choices on vaccines, “natural” foods, and modern health aren’t random. From a forensic psychiatry lens, they reflect trauma, addiction, identity, and moral worldviews. Let’s dive into the psychology behind his decisions 🧵 1/ Childhood trauma matters. RFK Jr. lost his uncle (1963) and father (1968) to assassinations. Research shows such violent loss breeds control-seeking, distrust, and conspiratorial thinking. This is the soil his worldview grew from.

1/ 🚨 HHS has revived the long-dormant Task Force on Safer Childhood Vaccines—but the move is raising alarms. Here’s why. 🧵 2/ The panel, disbanded in 1998, was brought back after a lawsuit by Children’s Health Defense—RFK Jr.’s anti-vax group. NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya will chair, joined by FDA, CDC, & NIH officials. First report due in 2 yrs.

RFK Jr. claims the polio vaccine gave 98M Americans a cancer-causing virus (SV40).

Here’s why that’s false, with evidence. 🧵 1/ Claim: “98M people got SV40 from polio vaccine.”

Fact: 98M Americans got polio vaccine (1955–63). Only ~10–30% of doses were contaminated → ≈10–30M exposures, not 98M. [1]

Did RFK Jr. try to get a major vaccine safety study withdrawn?

Yes—he publicly demanded the Annals of Internal Medicine retract Denmark’s landmark aluminum-in-vaccines study.
Here’s what happened 🧵 2/ 📄 The study (July 2025) analyzed 1.2M Danish children over 24 years.

✅ Found no link between aluminum-containing vaccines and autoimmune, allergic, or neurodevelopmental disorders.

Steve Kirsch says 9 peer-reviewed studies prove unvaccinated people are healthier than vaccinated ones.

The problem?

The studies don’t prove that at all.

Let’s dig in. 🧵 2/ Many of these “vaxxed vs unvaxxed” studies use self-selected homeschool populations.

If your goal is unbiased science, why start with a group that’s 10× less likely to vaccinate?
