"I have autism and I'm not broken." At the Princeton Public Schools’ Board of Education meeting Tuesday night, 9-year-old Teddy pushed back against Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s comments on children with autism. The U.S. Secretary of Health stated “autism destroys families” and that “they’ll never hold a job, they’ll never play baseball, they’ll never write a poem, they’ll never go out on a date.”

Take that RFK Jr.

"Nigeria’s art and culture minister Hannatu Musawa said Tagbo-Okeke's artwork is “a beacon of hope and inspiration” for people with autism."

“We recognize the unique abilities and potential of individuals with autism and are dedicated to providing opportunities for them to thrive in the creative industries,” Musawa added."

Spesielt Alan Turing ble utsatt for ekstrem urettferdighet selv om hans arbeid hadde stor betydning for utfallet av 2 verdenskrig, men også for hvordan vi arbeider med datamaskiner. Ikke minst nå som KI er en voksende industri.

Alan #Turing var også et offer for behandling av homofile og er et godt eksempel på hvorfor vi må ha eksplisitt regulering av #inkludering, #likeverd og #mangfold. Det er jo fordi det finnes folk som #RFK at dette er viktig, egentlig ikke for de som bare er seg selv.

#Kennedy Issues Demands for #Vaccine Approvals That Could Affect Fall #CovidBoosters
Health Secretary #RFK Jr. announced a plan that would require placebo-controlled studies for all new vaccines, surprising some experts who noted that such testing already routinely takes place.
The agency suggested that #clinicaltrials in humans may be required for updated #Covid shots, raising questions about whether they will be available in the fall.

"If you take a bunch of low-quality studies and lump them together into a meta-analysis that purports to give a rigorous answer, it’s the research equivalent of money laundering. You are taking bad evidence and converting it into (the appearance of) rigorous evidence."

"We have the right to expect our government to do that. We have the right to go out and put together a sandwich and have it not kill us. That's a fundamental right, and the country is stronger when that right is in place. 

"Every person matters. Our government should protect us in an every person way, and we should stand together in an every person way."

What does it feel like to be a science journalist — or any kind of journalist — in the USA right now? Talia Lavin talked to Deborah Blum, director of the Knight Science Journalism Center at MIT, a specialist in toxicology, and the woman who literally wrote the book on the history of U.S. food regulations. "As a country, we tend to suffer from what I think of as regulatory memory failure. We don't have a sense of what things were like before regulations went into play. Most Americans don't really have a sense of what the environmental landscape of the United States looked like before the EPA, for instance," says Blum. "Instead, we demonize regulation, when often we're really talking about consumer protection. And when we're talking consumer protection, we're talking about protection for every American citizen. But until you have those kinds of universal standards in place, the people who suffer the most are going to be the people who can't afford the good stuff."

Don't know much about history.
(don't know much biology)
Don't know much about geography.
(don't know much trigonometry)

[Chorus]
But I do know, one and one is three.
What a wonderful world this can be.

#RFK has more catastrophes in store: "#Medicaid currently covers over 60% of all nursing home residents. In 2024 alone, Medicaid & #Medicare together spent $231 billion caring for those living w/#Alzheimer’s & related #dementias — accounting for 64% of total dementia care costs. This [is] memory care units. It’s in-home support services. It’s home health aides helping someone bathe w/dignity. It’s respite care giving exhausted family #caregivers one day to breathe."
