"No Amish people have autism."

Yes, they do.

"Vaccines are never tested against placebo."

Yes, they are.

"Nobody has ever studied whether MMR causes autism."

They have, repeatedly. It doesn't.

Apparently I have to repeat this.

Over and over and over again

So I will

Working thread of published research on COVID 19. Every claim links to a real study. Published, peer-reviewed research from journals like Nature, The Lancet, BMJ, and Nature Medicine. Not speculation, this is what the mainstream science says. Please take it seriously.

[Dr Tracy Westerman AM @TracyWesterman]

Lachie Neale intentionally struck Jack Ginnivan in the stomach, off the ball, in the preliminary final. He got a one-match ban, meaning he'd miss the grand final.

At the Tribunal, his team argued his "exemplary record" should get him off. The Tribunal heard it, weighed it, and rejected it. The ban stood.

So they took the exact same argument to the Appeal Board. No new evidence. They didn't even dispute the strike. Same facts, same record, same plea. This time the "good bloke defence" worked. Ban overturned, $10,000 fine, and he plays.

Except his record isn't clean. He's been found guilty eight times before, three for striking opponents in the body. And nine other players were suspended for this exact offence this season. No pass for them. The star got one, in grand final week.

So what are kids learning? That who you are matters more than what you do. That if you're good enough, the rules bend. And if the first answer doesn't suit you, keep asking until you get one that does. This is moral relativism in action. The act didn't change. The finding didn't change. The evidence didn't change. The only thing that changed was how much the person who did it matters. Once right and wrong depend on who you are rather than what you did, there is no standard left, just a sliding scale that always tilts towards the powerful.

It's the same "good bloke" logic we've spent years fighting in courtrooms, where reputation and standing are used to soften consequences for harm.

And here's what moral relativism always hides: the standard doesn't disappear, it just shifts onto everyone else. Leniency for the powerful is paid for by harsher judgement of the powerless.

A rule that only applies to some people isn't a rule. It's a privilege. And yesterday the AFL told every kid watching exactly who that privilege is for.

Martin Niemöller wrote his famous "first they came" lines about how the Nazis rose by isolating one group at a time while everyone else stayed silent — never enough of a target on its own to make the rest of the country flinch.
Here's One Nation's version of that insidious pattern:

When she said Australia was being "swamped by Asians," I did not speak up because I'm not Asian.

When she called Aboriginal parents "lazy" and "negligent," and repeated the debunked claim that $30 billion is being funneled into Aboriginal handouts, I did not speak up because I'm not Aboriginal.

When she said domestic violence victims lie in family court, called it a "two-way street," and claimed it wastes police time better spent on "real crime," I did not speak up because I am not a victim of DV.

When she dismissed the gender pay gap, I did not speak up because I am not a woman.

When she wore a burqa into the Senate to mock Muslim Australians, and said "how can you tell me there are good Muslims," I did not speak up because I'm not Muslim.

When she blamed African gangs for crime that police data showed they barely contributed to, I did not speak up because I'm not African.

When she told gay Australians they should leave the country if they wanted to marry; I did not speak up because I'm not gay.

When she called the trans community a "militant force" and an "insurgency," comparing it directly to militant Islam, I did not speak up because I'm not trans.

When she pushed to strip disability standards out of new homes, I did not speak up because I'm not disabled.

When she called workers "lazy," I did not speak up because I am not lazy.

When she voted against Same Job Same Pay, the Right to Disconnect, criminalising wage theft and industrial manslaughter, then took a $100,000 pay rise herself, I did not speak up because it wasn't my paycheck she was coming for.

When she opposed the bill to stop supermarkets and big companies price-gouging Australians during a cost-of-living crisis, I did not speak up because I told myself I could still afford my groceries.

When she voted against the Paris Climate Agreement, against investment in renewable energy, and against building community resilience to climate disasters, I did not speak up because the floods and fires hadn't reached my house yet.

So when she finally comes for you — whatever's left of "you" once every group you didn't belong to has already been picked off — who's going to be left to speak for you?

Who knew that teaching boys to be anti - rape was political and forcing an ideology on them. Seriously WTF, does the safety of girls and women mean so little to us as a society. I both need to and want to believe that this can’t be who we are. And do we think so little of our 1/2

[Tyler Black, MD @tylerblack32]

sometimes it just boggles the mind

of all the causative claims that exist in all of oncology (including "smoking causes lung cancer") NONE have more CAUSATIVE EVIDENCE than "HPV causes cancer"

NOT ONLY That, but the hpv vaccine has direct proof that it prevents cancer. EVERY WOMAN in Scotland born 1988–1996 was linked with their vaccination records to the national cancer registry and among those vaccinated at age 12–13, ZERO of invasive cervical cancer. Not "reduced." NONE.

After years of being told not to trust Big Pharma, they’re now using mRNA to cure cancer.

Awkward.

[Rick @colonelhogans]

Karl Stefanovic and Barnaby Joyce both betrayed and humiliated their loving, loyal wives and children, by having illicit public affairs and then marrying younger women.

Both can spare us their right wing Christian bullshit!

Hypocrisy on steroids!

A personalized mRNA cancer vaccine has succeeded in a Phase 3 trial for melanoma.

It uses the same fundamental mRNA platform as the COVID vaccines and could open an entirely new chapter in cancer treatment.

This is why we fund mRNA technology research.

Charlotte Bisman survived meningococcal meningitis - just - but lost all four limbs

The meningitis vaccine can PREVENT this

And its just been REMOVED from the US routine vaccine schedule

Crazy

The entire Labor party should hang their heads in shame today. 

In one foul deal with the Liberals, the PM has abandoned vulnerable Australians and given predatory gambling companies the freedom to overrun our sport and screens.

Pauline Hanson wants people to access the superannuation earlier.

I paid into compulsory superannuation for over 40 years. I whinged all the way through because it limited my take home pay. It was just that little it harder to take that holiday or to buy that nice car I wanted.

I was young and saw no value in superannuation. Given the opportunity I would have raided my superannuation at every opportunity. But I couldn't.

Because I couldn't raid my superannuation I was able to retire, pay out my mortgage, not worry about money, travel when and where I want, replace my now 3 year old car with a new EV, dine out at least twice a week with family and friends and not rely on a taxpayer funded pension.

Don't let Pauline Hanson con you into thinking your superannuation is ripe for the picking. You're alive a long time after retirement and you don't want to spend that time trying to live off the aged pension.

[Dr Monique Ryan MP @Mon4Kooyong]

The major parties sold us all out today by - after 3 years of inaction - passing gambling legislation which won’t protect our children or other individuals who struggle with gambling harm.

When you think they can’t go lower, sadly, you can always be disappointed.

"There are no Amish with autism"

There are

"Vaccines aren't tested against placebo"

They are

"MMR has never been studied as a possible cause of autism"

It has. It's not the cause.

I apparently need to say this stuff over and over and over and over again.

And again.
