Here you go back to him again. Do you actually know anything about autism or the research around it or not? Do you not understand that there is a difference between repressed and not done? Like I have a friend who is involved in research for another rare genetic condition that because qualifies for orphan drug designation (aka more $$ for pharma) has made more progress in the last ten years than autism research has in the last fifty. One thing that rfk’s brainworm has done is the autism data project which has resulted in more proposals than this area has seen in forever. |
This. Precisely this. |
Exactly. If you want to have a serious conversation about ASD then RFK really is secondary to the parents screaming for more information for decades. There’s one or two people here that think this is political when that’s the farthest thing from reality. |
Yes. yes I do. Please point me to the autism researchers who are happy about RFK. Also please let me know about the research the prior HHS and all of autism research around the globe was not doing, that RFK (I guess using ChatGPT) will now do. |
Who said he was good???? |
What’s your original thought? that RFK using ChatGPT to come up with already refuted ideas about the cause of autism is somehow revolutionary and justifies what Trump did to this country’s research infrastructure? Did you not read the posts about scientists whose data and samples got destroyed? |
Well you tell us what you think about him. The premise here seems to be that he is going to unlock some heretofore unknown knowledge about autism. |
What does the OP have to do with what you wrote? please explain. |
And yet people have cited multiple studies that the Tylenol and folate things HAS been studied. So this idea that researchers are only studying one thing is bogus. And RFK Jr. Has totally and completely devastated scientific research. A friend of mine lost her funding and she was literally studying the impact of inhalation toxins on placental growth. Which, you know, might impact child development? And yet these MAHA types cut their lab because studying placental issues is "DEI". |
I’m done explaining because you clearly aren’t here for an actual conversation. |
I don’t think you do. I don’t think you have any personal experience with autism and I don’t think you work in STEM. You haven’t mentioned anything factual that isn’t related to RFK. |
Right. Similarly when you have autism you have trouble getting enough folate but that doesn't mean taking folate cures autism or even prevents it. |
He is a terrible person and a bad choice. However he seems more open to doing things differently. He himself isn’t going to unlock anything but maybe someone who slightly changed the focus of their research to qualify for an autism related grant might lead to something surprising. That said this is the choice of the person who a lot of Americans (not me, I voted for Harris) voted for and u don’t get the point of the useless handwriting and the phony concern about autism from people who do not normally think about it at all. What I wish would really happen but would require an act of Congress a change in the patent system that made it more profitable to develop things besides drugs that treat ED, Covid, and obesity. |
"Open to doing things differently" meaning devastating research budgets, spreading vaccine misinformation, and faking research with ChatGPT? Let's also not forget when he whipped up vaccine misinformation in Guam that lead to a measles outbreak that killed 80 people. And, yes, I have a family member who has a PhD in toxicology and medical research and another one who is a pediatric neurologist. They know what they're talking about when they tell you this guy is dangerous. |
I can’t tell you anything about autism but my fake family members hate the guy so it must be true. |
