Trump determined to link life-saving shots to autism, despite science and political risk.
The White House is drafting an executive order on the disproven link between vaccines and autism, according to independent reports from The Washington Post and Bloomberg, which both cited unnamed sources with knowledge of the efforts.
Bloomberg reported that the executive order, which is still taking shape and is subject to change, could be issued as soon as next week. The Post said the order’s drafting so far is aimed at the childhood vaccine schedule, autism research, and parental choice for vaccinations.
Dozens of high-quality studies encompassing data from millions of children worldwide have already been carried out on the topic and have consistently found no link between childhood vaccines and autism. The claim of a link stems from an unethical, fraudulent study that was retracted years ago, and its author was stripped of his medical license.

The damage that this administration has done and continues to do to this country, and indeed the world at-large, is truly incalculable.
There is no hell that man could conjure up, even in the most twisted of mind, that would be a just eternal prison for the architects and useful idiots that have ushered in this reign of depravity.
Praying on the fears and desperation of parents who want to know why is amongst the most despicable things a person could do.
I’d settle for a brain aneurism on live TV. Just an ope and he’s gone.

God: if we're talking about sudden aneurysm death, best I can do is Mythbusters prodigy Grant Imahara dying at 49. Fuck you.

Dying out right is too good for him. I like a stroke on live tv that results in making him a vegetable.

Dumbass thinks if he declares it, it makes it true.
If this happens, the pedo will then go about EOing that he is king, that he can't be prosecuted, that saying anything bad about him is treason ect ect.

It’s the other way around. Autism causes vaccines. We get all these people into medical research, and they turn oreos and burgers and no sleep into vaccines.

You don't have to be autistic to be drawn to a life of repeating the same steps over and over with tiny variations and pouring over the data that comes of it but it sure does help

One may pore over data, pour over is a coffee brewing method.

Look, I do numbers. Not words. I'm glad if autocorrect even knows what I'm trying to type a good part of the time
That said, good to know!

Medical science by fiat. Why didn't I think of that?
Treczoks@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 12h
So the science does not support their wacko ideas, so now they make it the law? Just like that state that once ruled that PI is 4?

Not how science works.

I think we can change that with a strongly worded EO.

I don’t think they know how executive order work.

Fucking shame. Since this administration took hold, I’ve been avoiding our CDC and getting that kind of information from my official state sites (we still use scientifically backed resources) and Canada’s government sites.
