The studies #RFKJr cited for his autism announcement are garbage in methodology and/or power. Vaccines do NOT cause autism. There is no link shown despite MANY well-done studies and analyses.

Vaccine efficacy, timing, and ingredients have been and continue to be studied pre-MAHA. What we don’t need are AI-hallucinated reports making up papers about effects, or VAERS cherry-picking, or unethical RCTs that ignore equipoise to give an image of “winning.” (2/2)

The TDS moniker fascinates me as a means of deflection, especially this 2nd term. He’s been credibly accused and is now an adjudicated rapist, and convicted of multiple felonies including fraud, and enacting Project 2025, but you/MAGA have to try to gaslight alongside him to stay “sane.”(1/2)

When did I say MAHA is only interested in vaccines? They like anti-vax talking points. They look at some things that could improve American health and healthcare, but they address them the wrong way. Talking about processed foods and additives doesn’t help w/o making better food more accessible. 2/2

Harris unqualified is a laughable idea when you look at her opponent.
I don’t even know what you mean calling Walz a fairy, bc I don’t want to just assume you’re homophobic (though it wouldn’t surprise me).
Polypharmacy happens, but that’s not what Vance is describing and you know that.(1/2)

Actually that was one of my 3 free articles for the month, haha. Maybe wait until next month and learn more and then we can resume this convo.

I appreciate the prayers, but prayers only go so far if you’re supporting policies that will negatively impact both our families and our patients.

Your 2nd sentence is an indication of why you’re losing this argument. It’s not *my* research - I’m not claiming I did it with easy Google searches and vibes. The evidence presented by larger bodies, or in the case of the undocumented immigrants claims, the actual laws, support my statements. (2/2)

If you actually read that Forbes article, the crypto venture was announced 9/2024 as he was running for president, and then he won and has promoted it as president. His net worth has increased by 3 billion in just a year. That’s not just after his 1st term, that’s _during_ his second. (1/2)

I don’t care about him earning money *after* his presidency. I’m concerned about him using his presidency, during it, to make money off people even as he drives up costs for those same folks.

The difference between my points and yours is that yours have been disproven by better research.

Re: safety nets - you’re just repeating MAGA talking points with no basis in fact. Undocumented immigrants can’t receive federal benefits though they pay taxes into them. Many full-time jobs don’t pay enough to live. Reducing regulations has not helped the 99% all these years, why would it help now?

He’s also got Trump products, Mar-a-Lago visits, and now ballroom donations coming in. He’s kept promises to his own profit, but what has he done for actual Americans who aren’t billionaires?
Sorry the facts are getting in the way of your attempts at cleverness. 🤷🏾‍♂️(2/2)

Well, they weren’t fake investigations or impeachments. And while he lost money during first term, Forbes says net worth has increased this year thanks to crypto and his rolling back of regulations to pay off his debts, law fees, and yes increase his profits. www.forbes.com/sites/danale... (1/2)
Trump Jumps 118 Spots On The Forbes 400 List Thanks To Presidency
Donald Trump lost money during his first term. Out of office, he found a formula for profiting off politics—now he’s piling up billions.
