"deeply troubling"
X post by Bill Cassidy: I’m a doctor who has seen people die from vaccine-preventable diseases. What parents need to hear right now is vaccines for measles, polio, hepatitis B and other childhood diseases are safe and effective and will not cause autism. Any statement to the contrary is wrong, irresponsible, and actively makes Americans sicker. We need to understand the real causes of autism. Studies show there’s a genetic predisposition when a mom who’s pregnant is exposed to environmental toxins which can increase a child’s risk of autism. It’s deeply troubling that, according to HHS officials, they appeared to have canceled hundreds of millions in research on autism genetics. Redirecting attention to factors we definitely know DO NOT cause autism denies families the answers they deserve. We had two children die and many more hospitalized nationally from measles this year. Louisiana is experiencing its worst whooping cough outbreak in 35 years. Families are getting sick and people are dying from vaccine-preventable deaths, and that tragedy needs to stop.

See this page- Cranks have tried to use information quality rules to lobby the CDC to modify its site in the past. CDC expends resources telling them to pound sand.

Now we're in the mirror universe.

The NIH witchcraft section NCCIH (formerly NCCAM) is looking for a leader 🧙‍♀️🧙

NCCIH’s recent escapades include partnering with the dangerous quack group Institute for Functional Medicine, and funding a database of fictional acupoints.

Maybe @springernature.com shouldn't let people who have a history of scientific misconduct make a pseudoscientific book with their buddies, including employees of a Mexican quack clinic.

The new Wakefield-level paper by ILADS/MAPS quack Rosalie Greenberg, MD contradicts decades of research about #Lyme and its diagnosis.

Experts agree: "No studies suggest a convincing causal association between Lyme disease & any specific psychiatric conditions."

doi.org/10.1093/cid/...

Moreover:
There are no data to support a causal relationship between tick-borne infections and childhood developmental delay or behavioral disorders (such as attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, pediatric autoimmune and neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infections [PANDAS], learning disabilities, or psychiatric disorders), and 2 studies have shown no association between Lyme disease and autism spectrum disorders. As with many acute medical illnesses, Lyme disease could worsen behavioral or psychiatric symptoms in children who are predisposed to these. There are no data that associate Lyme disease and developmental or behavioral childhood disorders.

The American Academy of Nurse Practitioners Certification Board is so hostile to the public that they refuse to allow anyone to independently verify a nurse practitioner’s claim of being board certified without paying a $40 fee.

Recall that MAHA Action is a project of RFK Jr's book publisher Tony Lyons

apnews.com/article/maha...
Tony Lyons, who runs MAHA Action and other MAHA-related groups supporting Kennedy and his agenda, leads Kennedy’s longtime publisher, Skyhorse. The company has published numerous anti-vaccine books by Kennedy and others and has a publishing deal with Kennedy’s former nonprofit. Lyons told AP his books present ”a responsible argument based on rigorous research” and called the term anti-vaccine a “pharmaceutical company talking point.” Lyons, who ran a pro-Kennedy super PAC during his presidential campaign, has recently been running Zoom calls with activists across the country where administration officials, including Calley Means, encourage them.

Quite the quack fest, including two chiropractors pretending to be doctors.

We also have Brianne Dressen, one of the anti-vaxxers who worked with Akiko Iwasaki and Harlan Krumholz to spread nonsense by creating a "giving Wakefield" preprint and exploiting Yale's brand name.

This was an extremely difficult post to write. I live in war-ravaged Portland, Oregon, and it is like World War II here. Think Berlin at the end. Nothing but chaos, death and destruction. A burning hell hole. I sit in my cellar, the walls shaking from the brown bombs and artillery. Using the light from the burning house next door to see the text. I will upload this to Starlink using an old 300 baud modem, powered by the fading battery of an abandoned Cybertruck. Thank you, Mr. Musk. At least we will soon have National Guardsmen in the city who will certainly be able to stem the Red tide. But if I don’t survive this hellscape, remember, Keep Portland Weird.

ArminLabs is run by ILADS quack Armin Schwarzbach, who was exposed by the Danish journalists.

Schwarzbach sent an email indicating that a healthy journalist had active #Lyme and coinfections.

And only 1 of 4 journalists were negative on an Elispot test.

Young Milly also had an Elispot test!

MDPI is a predatory publisher that became a vanity publisher for cranks.

Autism quack Richard Frye, MD has been editor of 7 MDPI special issues!

And of the 52 articles published in these issues so far, Frye is a co-author of 24 articles, or 46%!

Thanks- Frye sued his former employer Phoenix Children's Hospital last year in Maricopa. (No docs available)

@cave-malum.bsky.social noted that his NIH grant was not transferred when he left Phoenix Children's (and eventually started working under Rossignol's brand name)

Small correction to your recent newsletter- Richard Frye's trial NCT01602016 was listed as suspended and later terminated in 2015, not 2017.

It's very strange that Frye's 2016 publication (and two others) fails to mention it.

It's disturbing to see the whitewashing of long-time quack Richard Frye by media sources that should know better.

Frye has long been associated with the anti-vax "autism biomed" movement, which promotes bogus treatments.

His dubious trial was terminated for non-compliance.
