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.

What does the OP have to do with what you wrote? please explain.

I’m done explaining because you clearly aren’t here for an actual conversation.

I also wonder if it's a way to keep women out of the workforce. If women aren't allowed any kind of pain relief while pregnant, they'll end up falling behind more while pregnant.

You might be dumbest person on this board.

I asked a physician friend about this and he explained that it’s because people shed vitamin D when they’re sick. It doesn’t mean that taking more cures your illness.

There's autism shares a link to digestive disorders, it's known but they don't know if that relationship is causal or shares a common cause. They have, in fact, been investigating this for a while

You can't expect fast answers on studying human brain development.

Yes, it would be great if our administration wasn’t actively trying to disrupt medical research, including targeting Harvard and other schools where a lot of great research is being done.
I feel like RFK is the broken clock that is soemthikes occasionally right but because his whole approach is anti-science it is hard to know when that is.

FYI you sound stupid when you call RFK Jr anti-science.

Now you're a parody of yourself. Of course he's anti-science. Have you been living in a hole?

Times are changing. Where we had a handful of people who had to put in many years of school and apprenticeship who had access to medical information and decisions there is now zero barrier to learning. Research that used to take 10+ years can now be modeled in minutes.
Already there is a huge reduction in medical gatekeeping thanks to the disruption of online prescriber.

While the past decades have made incredible leaps in medical care, the old ways are outdated and must and will change.

Oh so you're one of those "My YouTube videos are equivalent to your medical degree" types.

Good lord.

DP. I don’t even understand this reply. YouTube has nothing to do with AI. There are obviously problems with AI (notably that it can be quite racist when used in applications like bail bond setting) but it has the ability to analyze huge amounts of data much more rapidly and with fewer mistakes than a human. AI will probably even replace certain medical professions like radiology within our lifetime. YouTube does not have that capability. Is your point that they’re both available on a computer?

Who will collect the data? Who will run the AI queries? Who will interpret them? Who will come up with experiments? Who will run them? Who will test new drugs for efficacy and safety?

Believing that “AI will do it” is heroin brainworm crap.

Again do you know what AI is???? You don’t need scientist for all of those things. A smaller number of people will do these things. Brainworm crap is not understanding the difference between AI and YouTube and also missing the billions of hours of coverage about how AI will eliminate many white collar jobs.

You’re an absolute idiot.

I’d listen to that person before I listen to your “shut down every opinion that doesn’t fit the MSM narrative” types.

I'm so sick of these tropes:
--mainstream media
--big pharma
--expecting medicine to have exact answers.

All someone has to do is say MSM or big pharma and they have credibility with a lot of others. Do you NEVER take meds? Do you live off the grid? Are you a Christian Scientist? Do you only read peer-reviewed journals as you avoid MSM for your info? (Sorry, I'm sure you don't trust those).

The only people I've known who refused meds were Christian Scientists and they died very young when they could have been saved. Is everyone planning to do this to avoid using big pharma? What does it even mean?

I can't believe the nonsense people believe these days.

You can’t get answers if you only follow the same lines of inquiry though. Also big pharma like most large industries has an outsized influence and the revolving door of people from industry to government is not good.

And therefore RFK is good? lol. I mean if that is your level of logic I’m pretty fine with saying you have nothing worth contributing here.

Who said he was good????

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.

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.
