This is a new one in the world of crazy online pseudoscience. Suramin is a treatment for sleeping sickness, a parasitic infection found in parts of Africa and transmitted by the tsetse Where they have come up with this bunkum about Suramin "curing" autism have no idea!
This is where we are. We have an actor, Mel Gibson, and a podcaster, @joerogan, making claims about Ivermectin curing Stage 4 ancer. The minute you ask for evidence, it's a problem. Please cite the study that shows Ivermectin effectively treats stage 4 cancer. NOT IN VITRO…
My post on RFK Jr's false claim that Dr. Fauci killed "hundreds" of children and buried them in a mass grave went viral, here's the debunking of that false claim. RFK Jr is lying. Again. Misrepresenting Fauci-linked research involving foster children apnews.com/article/fact-c…
Hydroxychloroquine never worked for Covid Remember I attracted a fanatical following as a treatment? One of the most influential papers at the time has now been retracted Ivermectin doesn't work for Covid either Enough of this nonsense

Hey @elonmusk, that’s not ‘bioweapon labs’ I’m (unfortunately) very uniquely qualified to tell you why this is important. And why you’re very wrong here. I assure you, with 100% certainty, that cutting this is pure stupidity (Also, did you read a few more lines to Sec 2315c?)

There is no evidence that the MMR vaccine causes autism. There just isn't. Because it does not.
🚨🇨🇦Correcting Disinfo🇨🇦🚨 "COVID vaccination didn't work" In Canada during the Delta wave, vaccination prevented infection (unvaccinated 6x higher chance of being infected). As well, being unvaccinated led to a 22X chance of being hospitalized and an 18X chance of dying. /1
Polio vaccines are why parents no longer fear their kids need an iron lung to live. Revoking approval of polio vaccines will result in paralyzed children. Stan Plotkin on Aaron Siri: “I find him laughable in many ways — except, of course, that he’s a danger to public health.”
RFK Jr apologists: “He’s softened his stance on vaccines & now focuses on healthy food” 1) NO. He hasn’t. Altering language to seem less radical is a tactic to appeal to more people. You fell for it. 2) he has undermined ALL SCIENCE: food, farming, vaccines, environment. 1/
There is a lot of talk about claims about vaccinations increasing autism in the news lately, with a focus on MMR vaccines. I hope anyone discussing these issues is aware of the existing scientific literature investigating such potential links that have been done since the…
Dear President Trump We have taken a look..a long hard detailed look. The MMR vaccine doesn't cause autism. Never did. Never will It's not the cause. Thanks time.com/7201582/donald…
This strikes me as an extraordinarily bad idea RFK jr doesn’t seem to understand the data on vaccines He should have no role in deciding which vaccines should be available, recommended
