Science isn’t partisan.
It’s protective.
Ignoring outbreaks doesn’t stop them — it only blinds us to the harm.

6/ Evidence still works
The tools that keep Americans healthy aren’t mysterious:
Surveillance. Vaccines. Pasteurization. Public-health infrastructure.
They work. They’ve always worked. They protect everyone.

5/ This fits a larger pattern
It’s not just foodborne surveillance.
We’re also seeing silence around preventable threats: measles, pediatric flu deaths, pertussis resurgence — all while infrastructure gets weaker.

4/ The raw milk problem
Raw milk fans say “I know my farmer.”
But you can’t see bacteria — and even healthy-looking cows shed Listeria and E. coli.

3/ Why this matters
These are not obscure microbes.
They’re the pathogens pasteurization was designed to stop — and they sicken hundreds every year.

2/ What changed?
The CDC’s foodborne-outbreak system once required reporting of Listeria, Salmonella, Campylobacter, and toxin-producing E. coli.
RFK Jr. made that reporting optional — blinding outbreak detection.

23/ Overall: the scientific literature overwhelmingly supports that routine childhood vaccines, individually or cumulatively, do not cause autism.

True—yet they can rule out large or moderate effects. Across dozens of high-quality studies, no association emerges.

Ecological correlations cannot prove causation. Proper toxicology reviews and cohort studies show aluminum doses in vaccines are far below harmful levels.

• Sibling studies
• Case-control studies
• Prospective cohorts
• National registries
• Meta-analyses
These methods are valid for detecting associations.
