"If you don't have free speech, you cannot have science." — Jay Bhattacharya

Scientific progress depends on the ability to question, challenge, and debate.

So grateful to those who risked their careers to speak out. I was proud to be an early signer of the Great Barrington Declaration--motivated in large part by the harms that prolonged lockdowns imposed on individuals with disabilities, autistic people, and their families--especially for those with the highest support needs.

Today, voters sent a clear message to every politician taking money from Monsanto, Bayer, and the chemical lobby:
The American people are done being poisoned.
We are done with the corruption and putting corporate profits ahead of children's health.
The poison lobby spent millions.
The people beat them anyway.
Historic grassroots win for @ZachLahn.

It is unfortunate that our current autism surveillance systems cannot answer a fundamental question: how much of the increase in autism prevalence reflects a true rise in the number of individuals with disabling autism symptoms.

With diagnoses climbing year after year, this lack of knowledge is unacceptable. After decades of surveillance and billions of dollars in research funding, it is a travesty that we don't have the answer.

[Gary Brecka @thegarybrecka]

We’ve normalized isolation, ultra processed food, chronic stress, and a complete disconnect from nature and then wonder why rates of anxiety, depression, obesity, and chronic disease continue to rise.

Human beings were designed for connection. Real food. Sunlight. Movement. Purpose. Community.

The further we drift from those fundamentals, the more our health declines physically, mentally, and emotionally.

[Chris Palmer, MD @ChrisPalmerMD]

Can antidepressants work? Yes.

Can antidepressants fail to work? Yes.

Can antidepressants harm? Yes.

All of these can be true.

Just a heads up, Democrat Candidates: There is not a single MAHA voter that will vote for you if you are:
1. Bashing Kennedy
2. Forcing vaccine mandates
3. Doing nothing about pesticides in our food

It's a stretch- I am not saying MAHA will vote Dem, and I am not speaking for all - just from what I am seeing...but MAHA definitely won't vote Dem if you are doing the above three things.
Want our votes? Collaborate with Kennedy. Let kids go to school and summer camp unvaccinated if their parents choose ( my body, my choice, right?). Do something about any one of the 86 pesticides that have been banned in other countries. And some MAHA voters might consider...

During this National Lyme Disease Awareness Month, learn how to protect yourself and your loved ones from this debilitating tick-borne illness.

[Gary Brecka @thegarybrecka]

If you’re craving sugar all day, your body may be asking for stability not more willpower.

Better sleep. More protein. Balanced meals. Stable blood sugar.

The basics still matter.

What triggers your sugar cravings the most: stress, lack of sleep, or skipping meals?

[Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy]

May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month, a time to recognize the growing impact of Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses on American families and communities. Lyme disease now affects an estimated 476,000 Americans each year and remains one of the most common vector-borne diseases in the United States.

I recently wrote to the House Energy & Commerce Committee urging support for reauthorization of the Kay Hagan Tick Act to strengthen research, surveillance, early detection, treatment, and public awareness efforts related to tick-borne disease.

Thank you to Chairman @RepGuthrie, Ranking Member @FrankPallone, and the House Energy & Commerce Committee for advancing this important bipartisan legislation.

[Laura Delano @LauraDelano]

People often say my story is a story of misdiagnosis.

It is not.

My story is a story of the American mental health system working exactly as intended.

What changed is that I stopped interpreting my thoughts, emotions, and struggles through a medicalized lens.

That shift transformed my life.

One of the most liberating realizations I had after leaving the medicalized psychiatric system is that the purpose of life is not constant happiness or the absence of pain, but connection, meaning, and purpose.

Life can be painful, and struggle is inevitable — but I no longer fear emotional pain or automatically translate it into pathology.

Thank you to @seckennedy for having this conversation with me on his podcast.

[Aaron Siri @AaronSiriSG]

So, @SenRonJohnson bravely and vigorously supported medical liberty, the vaccine injured, and vaccine safety (which the media said would tank his reelection campaign) yet he won his reelection bid, while @SenBillCassidy did the opposite (which the media widely hailed, praised, and supported) yet he didn't even win his primary. A lesson for other elected officials. https://t.co/7GKyxH1fjN

“Dr. Fauci’s role in the cover-up was intentional.”
“Public health policy would have been very different had the American public been made aware that a virus from a lab in China was going to serve as the foundation for an emergency use authorization mRNA products being mandated by the former administration.”  - James Erdman, CIA whistleblower

[The HighWire @HighWireTalk]

"I need the mainstream media, CBS, ABC, CNN to step forward and start covering what is a major scam. How many thousands, tens, hundreds of thousands of people are permanently disabled or possibly lost their life because our FDA hid the fact that there were safety signals screaming at them with the COVID injection?

So again, you can't answer all my questions... but we need to figure out who is running this deep state"

@SenRonJohnson @SenRandPaul

[Children’s Health Defense @ChildrensHD]

🚨 Sen. Rand Paul just delivered an urgent call for Covid justice:

“Government secrecy cannot become government impunity.”

“Millions died.”

“Children lost years of learning.”

“Small businesses were destroyed.”

“Civil liberties were restricted.”

“Dissenting Americans were censored and smeared.”

“The government owes its people the evidence.”

“The cover-up is not just about protecting one research grant.”

“It’s about protecting an entire network of labs, grants, intermediaries, and bureaucratic architecture quietly engineered to outlast any moratorium, any congressional inquiry, and any election.”

“We owe every family harmed by this pandemic a government that does not hide behind secrecy, conflicts, and curated science when the stakes are life and death.”

“Starting today.”

This 2019 congressional report about the opiod crisis and Purdue Pharma is a masterful analysis of the pharmaceutical industry playbook used to promote products and shape medical narratives.

Purdue followed a familiar strategy: enlist respected physicians, medical societies, academic experts, and public health authorities (including the WHO) to reassure clinicians and the public, minimize perceived harms, and promote widespread use—often on the basis of weak, selective, or incomplete evidence.

This was not simply a story about one company. It exposed structural incentives and influence mechanisms that extend far beyond opioids.

The uncomfortable reality is this was not an aberration. It reflects the ongoing degradation of large parts of medicine and public health under the influence of industry, financial incentives, institutional capture, and manufactured consensus.

Hundreds of thousands sacrificed on the alter of Pharma. Business as usual.

I agree that autism is often innate and strongly heritable. But high heritability does not mean immutability, nor does it exclude environmental modulation, particularly when environmental factors may be widespread, shared, or interacting with biology in consistent ways.

I also agree with much of what you are arguing regarding the potential importance of germline and developmental programming effects.

But could you agree that even with a pre-existing heritable vulnerability, that environmental, metabolic, immune, or toxicant-related exposures could still influence developmental trajectory, severity, regression, or co-occurring medical burden in at least some individuals?

There is substantial evidence that core cellular processes — including mitochondrial function, redox balance, immune signaling, oxidative stress pathways, and metabolic signaling — directly influence neurodevelopment, including synaptic development, neuronal connectivity, pruning, plasticity, network regulation, and broader cytoarchitecture of the developing brain. These are not peripheral issues; they are fundamental developmental mechanisms.

One of the central questions in autism science is how extremely diverse risk factors — hundreds of genes, de novo mutations, maternal immune activation, prematurity, valproate exposure, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammatory pathways, and other metabolic or environmental factors — converge onto overlapping developmental phenotypes.

Clinical experience with many autism families has also reinforced my interest in neurodevelopmental regression and developmental trajectory. Regression does not establish causation. But I do not think it is scientifically appropriate to simply assume that biological events temporally associated with major developmental changes are necessarily irrelevant or that the same outcome would have occurred regardless.

To me, this is about understanding how genetic vulnerability, developmental biology, metabolism, immune signaling, and environmental factors interact across development.

And on a final note, I do not appreciate the suggestion that my views ignore the last 20 years of autism research or that I am uninterested in scientific input from others. Quite the opposite — I actively seek out perspectives from researchers, clinicians, advocates, and families with a wide range of viewpoints and expertise.

I am also proud of the work accomplished at the first IACC meeting. The Committee advanced thoughtful, evidence-informed, common-sense recommendations focused on issues like safety, medical care, and support for those with profound autism — recommendations that passed with strong public and federal support.

That is part of why the intensity of the public attacks and coordinated efforts to discredit the new IACC have been disappointing and, frankly, make genuine collaboration more challenging. I still hope we can find ways to engage respectfully and constructively around both the science and the needs of individuals and families.
