Hi, actual scientist here 👋

Science doesn’t work by proving a negative.
You don’t prove unicorns don’t exist.

You look for evidence they do and if none shows up, you move on.

And here’s what we’ve found after decades of research:

Millions of children.
Dozens of studies.
Multiple countries.

Same result every time:
No causal link between vaccines and autism

That’s not uncertainty.
That’s overwhelming evidence.

Saying “well you can’t rule it out completely” isn’t science.

It’s appeal to ignorance - pretending “not disproven” is the same as “possible.”

If we accepted that logic, we’d have to fear:

🧪 Organic broccoli causing autism
📺 Television causing autism.
🌦 Clouds causing autism.

Because nobody has “ruled them out” either.

Science isn’t about imagining risks.

It’s about measuring them and vaccines have been measured more than almost anything else in medicine.

So let’s be clear:
💉 Vaccines have evidence.
❌ The autism claim has none.

Lauri Markkanen has been UNSTOPPABLE scoring off of screens

Most in the NBA, and the next closest is the greatest off-ball player of all time

They booed JD Vance at Disneyland. Imagine how hated you must be to get booed at the happiest place on earth.

@hansenjames My thought is that they see a bit of Patty in Collier's game and want him to mentor him. 🤷🏻‍♀️ That's legit the only thing I can think of to explain this move lol
