Uh..studying the causes of autism is a disservice to the people with autism? What?

Looking into the causes of increased crime is a disservice to the people victimized by crime, I suppose.

The left is completely insane and morally bankrupt.

That's not leftism, leftism is supporting the have-nots against the haves. This is just a combo of stupidity and self-dealing

It's become the "left".

Certainly it's come to be called that by some, incorrectly IMHO.

Kind of like, "Everything I don't like is Hitler."

No, what you describe is not "left". The haves versus the have-nots is the universal struggle of all people. Left versus Right describes two schools of thought on how to combat the problem.

The "left" believes things can only be solved by large entitlement spending, manual wealth redistribution through high taxes on corporations and "the rich" and activist (racist) policies such as DEI and affirmative action.

The "right" believes things can only be solved by keeping the playing field level for everyone regardless of whatever happened historically between different groups of people, small government, low taxes and incentives for small business. Laissez faire capitalism awards people directly for their work and ingenuity regardless of race or background.

It is not surprising that so many people have come to believe that "left" or "progressive" means something that it doesn't. The media, the same ones who lie constantly about health care and medicine, are all connected to the pious, left-wing part of government who use the lies to run cover for their massive theft and fraud. The more they can convince people to "do the right thing and pass big spending bills" the more money can go into the system for theft. This isn't taught in school because the Dept of Education is part of the fraud. They know if they teach what really happens they will be out on their ears (which is hopefully about to happen with Trump gutting the DOE). In the decades since the DOE was established the test scores of American kids has plummeted even with the tests being watered down more and more every year.

The right hasn't had a very good record, in my experience, in protecting anyone but the wealthy from anyone else or anything.

Some people believe that "taxation is theft," others that some efforts can only be accomplished by action at a scale that representative government is in a better position to provide than individuals are, and that private action with sufficient scale lacks any motivation other than self-interest, and so is unlikely to benefit anyone outside of the ownership group, and quite likely not even all of them (see "principal-agent problem").

Not that the that principal-agent issue goes away with representative government, but a government *can* be set up with checks and balances and operated with transparency. Of course some will work energetically to game, corrupt, and capture whatever system is set up, and this does seem to have happened in the USA).

Unfortunately, eliminating the power of government doesn't return power to people in general, but almost inevitably to a self-selecting elite whose interests are fairly hostile to those of anyone without the privileges of wealth or some other inner-circle status.

The problem is in labeling. We all keep thinking about left and right in terms of what people masquerade as, i.e. Republican or Democrat, and not about the individual themselves and what their actions and record reveal about them. Democrats can't believe John Fetterman has been calling them out, for instance. Fetterman is clearly a more centrist person (who, by today's standards is FAR RIGHT lol).

The political party system is simply kayfabe; kabuki theater. Clearly we mostly have a uniparty in charge that is corrupt and not at all representing the people because they do not follow the government charter, e.g. the Constitution, Magna Carta, whatever. Why don't they? Greed and fear of reprisals. Take your pick as to which is more compelling.

Thomas Sowell describes what the definitions are of left and right, the unconstrained vision versus the constrained vision. Definitions of terms are important bust it's also important that we apply them appropriately to the people concerned and not rely on them telling us which camp they belong to. It's this second part that people really, really struggle with. Democrat means left and Republican means right.

Nope.

Actions determine that.

There can be no rational explanation for any medical organisation to deny an investigation to give confirmation, good or bad of any medication related to our children’s best health.

Perhaps the fact that pediatricians make, on average, over half their income from the administration of vaccines (and then rake in additional grift from treating the diseases and disorders caused by that "prevention", making up much of the remainder) might just have a tiny, teensy, itty bitty something to do with their reluctance to see the fraud that is vaccination laid bare to public scrutiny.

Or is that just me?

Is that a fact? I'm just now coming to the realization of how horrible the entire health system is and trying to navigate it with a new baby but didn't realize the income allocation. Pediatricians I've talked to claim they have "no kickbacks whatsoever" from vaccines given.

Also we need a reduced vaccination schedule. What in the world is wrong with this schedule (oh, yes, big Pharma, medicine and pediatricians being incentivized to push shots.

Brilliant, thank you so much for sharing. I'm so sorry that it has come to this, but they must be exposed for what they're doing to humanity, as it's just not our children here in the US and it's just the tip of the iceberg, so sad. Job well done and thank you for sharing, you're in a good field now❤️

I’m so glad I took the time to read your letter. I learned so much. I was already against vaccines, even though my children- now in their 20s were fully vaccinated (thankfully they were less back then in the early 2000s).

I’m an RN and had put complete trust in my children’s locally renowned pediatrician, but in the years leading up to the pandemic, my eyes were starting to be opened, and I blatantly refused to get them the Gardisil series and we actually just stopped doctoring altogether unless they came down with something like strep throat etc. partially because if there was any other vaccines they were trying to push we would not be subject to that and they were all healthy without any chronic disease problems anyway.

But your letter with you calling out the absurdity of them going against finding the answers ….and the mercury/thimerosol …all the findings and data that you put into this, now confirms my worst fears and I am grateful I can share these facts when caught up in discussions where people are defending them. Very interesting point as well on the number of future adults that are going to need Social Security and Medicaid because of their disability and how that will play out and impact things.

You’ve been part of that organization for a very long time and it’s so admirable to see you take a stand, confront them and leave!

Initially I was against it. Now I’m wondering, maybe RFKjr is setting the CDC up. Once they come up with their BS “no connection” study, practice real science and have an independent group like Cochrane do their own study of the data. Then expose the cdc for the liars they are.

As long as the data itself is not cooked by the CDC, the logical thing to do is to release the data so that it can be analyzed by anyone

If your practice is based on the bonuses for vaccines frim insurance companies and the regular monthly visits for "wellchecks" to administer the vaccines, it all makes sense. It's a business model and it won't go down without a fight.

"They' just never figured or expected 'their' conclusions would ever be examined or challenged.

Well, whitecoats, sorry to say, we have EVERY reason to assume that YOU are corrupt to the core.

When the 'truth' emerges, you'll have nowhere to hide and the 'pucker' feeling you are experiencing now in your digestive tract is your parasympathetic nervous system telling your 'reasoning' brain that judgement day IS coming for you!

The AAP is a shill for Big Pharma.

They claim they are for kids. Yet they remain steadfastly opposed to even looking at stuff that could, if it proves the AAP's position, could, according to what the AAP believes, actually help more kids.

"We can't have a study looking at vaccines and autism. We already know it will not prove any link. Nevertheless, it will be harmful to kids to do the study."
