This needs to be said:
We (profound autism parents) have nothing but the best of intentions. Only we understand our experience.
We have nothing to apologize for.
We have no reason to be ashamed.
There is nothing about our plight that is not rooted in helping our kids.
There is nothing about our plight that is not rooted in reality.
There is even nothing about our plight that is not rooted in science.
Because of all these things, we will aggressively be pursuing the advancement of appropriate and meaningful research, and we will not take lightly, any attempts to dilute our kids’ struggles or minimize their experience - directly or indirectly.
The time has come to get help that makes a difference and to go on the offense against those who stand in our way. We will get creative. Where there is truth, there is a way. Where there is a will, there is a way.

To heal science and academia, governments, social media and universities should not censor scientists or anyone else. Those that censor de facto prove they lack counter arguments.

These charts tell the story. Americans are living longer than they were 50 or 100 years ago. But chronic diseases are undermining that momentum. https://www.wsj.com/health/wellness/chronic-disease-america-charts-b74372ac?st=K3dwEx via @WSJ

You can see the included measures over time, against mortality data. All axes locked.
The cASMR excess above was calculated w/ weekly interpolated populations. It is the median result of all pre-pandemic trends from 2009-19 to 2015-19. (FR from 2013 & IT from 2011).

Lockdowns did not reduce excess mortality. In Western Europe, coercive measures were associated with increased excess mortality.

While investigating pharmaceuticals in parts of the world can be physically perilous, in others you risk your reputation more than life.

💡When ideas become too dangerous to platform
@TEDTalks - a platform that claims to champion bold ideas - has censored Uni Prof Gigi Foster, who spoke out in defense of free speech and the right to dissent.

For years, Ulrike Guérot was one of Germany’s most respected political scientists. But after she criticised the pandemic response and the proxy war in Ukraine, she was subjected to a Stasi-like campaign of persecution.

Great choice of @VPrasadMDMPH (top center on left) to lead CBER @US_FDA. A staunch supporter of evidence based medicine.
Two of the best in the evidence-based medicine community, @VPrasadMDMPH and @NIHDirector_Jay, are now in charge of things that do matter. That's wonderful news. Wishing them success. We should all celebrate now, and be thrilled for what they'll be hopefully able to achieve🤞
