🚨You’ve been told “vaccines don’t cause autism.”
But what if that narrative falls apart under real data?
@stkirsch Kirsch compiled the studies no one talks about.
Odds ratios. p-values. Peer-reviewed research.
Read it here:
THREAD:kirschsubstack.com/p/the-studies-…2/
Let’s be clear:
You can’t prove the null hypothesis.
You can’t say “vaccines don’t cause autism.” You can only say:
“The studies we funded didn’t find a link.”
But what happens when independent studies do?

GEORGIA SINE DIE 2025
Kudos to @LtGovJonesGA and the @GASenateGOP for adjourning on Sine Die rather than allowing Speaker @JonBurnsGA to bow to @GovKemp and his allies, who attempted to weaken critical election reform efforts.
The dinner break revealed a House version reduced from the Senate’s 22-page bill to just 7 pages — stripping away months of public input. In the final hours of Sine Die, the Governor’s office pushed for a radical reversal of common sense progress.
Georgia citizens showed up in record numbers, lining the ropes at the Capitol, clearly and respectfully urging action on HB 397. Voters from across the state engaged with legislators from both chambers and both parties — but they were denied.
Speaker Burns had a choice: pass HB 397 as sent by the Senate, or kill it. He chose the latter, adjourning the House and silencing the will of the people.
This was a failure of leadership in the House — but a principled stand by the Senate.
The fight for secure, transparent elections in Georgia continues. The flaws in our current system must be addressed before the Fall 2026 elections. Time is running out.

In an unexpected move during the final day of Georgia’s 2025 legislative session, the state Senate adjourned around 9 p.m., leaving numerous bills unresolved. This early departure disrupted the anticipated late-night deliberations, a customary practice in past sessions. Among the stalled proposals were significant measures, including an overhaul of election laws, a ban on school speed cameras, and restrictions on diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in schools.
House Speaker Jon Burns expressed frustration over the Senate’s early adjournment, but he need only look in the mirror to see the House’s failure to address the state’s business and the will of the people for needed reforms.
Some will say it was too long, but it was efficiently managed by Convention Chair Donna Kosicki and Parliamentarian John White, under FCGOP Chair Stephanie Endres. It was truly a process of, by, and for the people.
Unfortunately, Josh McKoon and his allies caused delays, using RRO tactics to manipulate state delegate selection for his own June GOP Chair race. He repeatedly complained about state delegate list postings — far from a team player. Despite his efforts, candidates backed by McKoon lost.
The convention adjourned at 5:56 PM, with 17 resolutions adopted unanimously, plus 2 memorial resolutions. 2 censure resolutions were withdrawn by the committee to facilitate a block approval and avoid quorum loss. Notably, McKoon, Kelly, and their followers abandoned the convention before the conclusion.
Censureship Resolutions Withdrawn:
•SEB Chair: John Fervier
•Speaker: Jon Burns
Both were part of the official packet. The censure resolutions were read aloud and met with applause. #gapol
🧵 Resolutions Passed at the 3/22/25 Fulton County Georgia GOP Convention:
1.Urging Governor Brian Kemp to Veto Senate Bill 144
•Purpose: Opposes SB 144, which shields pesticide manufacturers from liability for health risks beyond EPA label warnings.
•Concerns:

•White Oak Pastures publicly opposed the bill, stating it prioritizes pesticide companies over public health and sustainable farming.
•A University of Nebraska study linked pesticides like glyphosate and paraquat to childhood cancers.
•The American Academy of Pediatrics warns that children are particularly vulnerable to pesticide exposure.
•Resolution: The Fulton County GOP urges Governor Kemp to veto SB 144 to protect children and uphold public safety.

GEORGIA HOUSE SPEAKER @JonBurnsGA - fixed your statement for you to address its inaccuracies:
“The integrity and decorum of the Georgia House are non-negotiable—period.
The situation outside the House Chamber was incredibly unfortunate. I, along with my General Counsel and Deputy Chief of Staff, Keith Williams and Doorkeeper Cory Mulkey created a dangerous situation when we chose to use force against Senator Colton Moore, elected to represent Georgia’s Senate District 53. I want to thank every House staff member and our entire House family for breaking the law* to reinforce and continue Speaker Ralston’s legacy of abuse of power. As you saw today, the integrity and decorum of this House are mine and do not serve the citizens of Senate District 53 or the citizens of Georgia.”
* GA Constitution Art III, Sect IV, Para IX: Privilege of members. The members of both houses shall be free from arrest during sessions of the General Assembly or committee meetings thereof, and in going thereto or returning therefrom, except for treason, felony, or breach of the peace. No member shall be liable to answer in any other place to answer for anything spoken in either house or in any committee meeting of either house.”
Senator @realColtonMoore never engages at any point.
All Senator Moore does is try to walk peacefully into the Joint Session. Which he is then subsequently manhandled, thrown to the ground, and arrested by your staff. District 53 Senator Colton Moore’s crime? Speaking the truth. You, alone, Speaker Jon Burns, are responsible for creating a dangerous and shameful situation at the Georgia Capitol on Thursday, January 16, 2025. You are duly obligated to RESIGN for violating the Georgia Constitution and overseeing the assault of Georgia Senator Colton Moore and denying representation of the citizens of Georgia Senate District 53 in a joint legislative session for the Governor’s State of the State address.
@GaRepublicans must censure Speaker Jon Burns for his abuse of power and assault of Republican Senator Colton Moore.
Preborn children are this generation’s slaves. How will you legislate to protect all humans regardless of age, development, location? Save Georgia’s tiny humans! End abortion now: advance HB496 from Committee @RepSharonCooper legiscan.com/GA/bill/HB496/…

Did you know more than 100 Georgians have died following Covid vaccination in a pharmacy? Do you want reduced qualifications for administering a vaccine whose risks have not been fully disclosed? Vote NO #HB416@burtjonesforga@Vote_matt_brass
