A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention webpage that previously made the case that vaccines don’t cause autism now says they might. The contents of the webpage came up during Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Senate confirmation process. Sen. Bill Cassidy (R., La.) in February said Kennedy had assured him that, if he was confirmed, the CDC would “not remove statements on their website pointing out that vaccines do not cause autism.” The revised webpage says: “The claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines...

Gov. Gavin Newsom is in Brazil for the United Nations Climate Change Conference, known as COP30, where he'll spend the week promoting California's clean air efforts and criticizing President Donald Trump. In São Paulo on Monday, while speaking at Milken Institute's Global Investors Symposium, Newsom repeatedly blasted the Trump administration for not even sending "a note-taker."

While some people last Friday dressed in Halloween costumes or handed out candy to trick-or-treaters, a group of U.S. data scientists published a list of “dearly departed” datasets that have been axed, altered or had topics scrubbed since President Donald Trump returned to the White House earlier this year.The timing of the release of the “Dearly Departed Datasets” with “All Hallows’ Eve” may have been cheeky, but the purpose was serious: to put a spotlight on attacks by the Trump administration on federal datasets that don’t align with its priorities, including data dealing with gender identity; diversity, equity and inclusion;...

President Trump and top health officials Monday said pregnant women should not take acetaminophen for pain relief due to a potential link to autism. Acetaminophen is the active ingredient in Tylenol, one of the most widely used medications in the world. “Taking Tylenol is not good,” Trump said during a White House announcement. Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will begin updating the label on acetaminophen and will begin notifying physicians that Tylenol “can be associated with a very increased risk of autism.” “All pregnant women should talk...

A new World Meteorological Organization report spells the end of the goal to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels.Seven years ago, the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicted that the world wouldn’t warm 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels until 2040.Then two years ago, the group predicted the world would pass that threshold between 2030 and 2035.Now, new data from the World Meteorological Organization released Wednesday indicates that the Earth will cross this point in just two years.The accelerated timeline is due to higher-than-expected temperatures over the past few years, diminishing air pollution that cooled the...

For years, health authorities assured the public that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines were a temporary intervention — delivering a brief genetic message before harmlessly fading away. But a shocking new study published in Nature reveals a far darker reality: These shots don’t just deliver instructions — they reprogram the body to extend their lifespan, forcing cells to produce spike protein far longer than disclosed. The bombshell findings expose a hidden layer of genetic manipulation, raising urgent questions about long-term risks, informed consent, and the true cost of Big Pharma’s rushed “miracle” technology.

As other opponents of the climate hoax do, I eagerly await the Trump administration’s termination of the Environmental Protection Agency’s so-called endangerment finding (EF). I had imagined that the reversal would be accomplished over the course of at least a year and probably more through the conventional administrative process of notice-and-public-comment. But things may get much more exciting, much more quickly. Some brief history is in order. The EF is a December 2009 determination by the Obama EPA that emissions of greenhouse gases harm the public health and welfare. Since that time, the EF has been the factual and scientific...

President Donald Trump was heavily critical of Rep. Al Green (D-TX), who interrupted his joint sessions address to Congress on Tuesday night. The president’s comments came on the same day the House of Representatives voted to censure Green for his antics. Of Green, Trump said that the Texas congressman “should be forced to pass an IQ test because he is a low IQ individual, and we don’t need low IQ individuals in Congress.” Trump also said Green was an embarrassment and called for punitive action against him.

An undercover journalist has found that a US fertility startup company has pushed further into the world of eugenics with its alleged offer to allow wealthy couples to weed out their children based on their projected IQ, sparking more concern about the ethics of IVF and genetic enhancement. According to The Guardian, the IQ testing controversy was exposed by the group ‘HOPE not hate,’ which sent an undercover reporter to Heliospect Genomics posing as a potential customer seeking IVF with his partner. He was quoted $50,000 to use the screening tool PolygenX, which is marketed as a way to analyze...

A US startup company is offering to help wealthy couples screen their embryos for IQ using controversial technology that raises questions about the ethics of genetic enhancement. The company, Heliospect Genomics, has worked with more than a dozen couples undergoing IVF, according to undercover video footage. The recordings show the company marketing its services at up to $50,000 (£38,000) for clients seeking to test 100 embryos, and claiming to have helped some parents select future children based on genetic predictions of intelligence. Managers boasted their methods could produce a gain of more than six IQ points. Experts say the development...

he Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been ordered to address how fluoride in water could risk children's intellectual development. Edward Chen, a U.S. District judge in San Francisco, California, said on Tuesday that although it is unclear if the amount of fluoride typically added to water is causing lower IQ (intelligence quotient) levels in kids, there is increasing research that it could be an unreasonable risk. Chen ruled that the EPA must take steps to lower that potential risk, but did not clarify what the process would look like. In August, the National Toxicology Program, part of the Department of...

Former classmate describes Harris' IQ situation I do not hav any way of vetting this but it would come as no shock or surprise based on what I've seen and heard recently.

Forget crowd sizes — a new study confirms that conservatives boast slightly larger amygdalas, the part of the brain that plays a key role in identifying and reacting to potential threats, compared with liberals. “A slightly larger amygdala simply highlights a brain’s increased sensitivity to issues related to [the] need for security, reduction of uncertainty and threat, or perhaps more careful processing of negative stimuli,” study author Diamantis Petropoulos Petalas told The Post. Having a larger amygdala could be attributed to genes, the environment, or most likely, a combination of the two, he added. It is possibly related to a...

They say their invention offers a promising way to tap into a plentiful supply of cheap hydrogen fuel for transportation and other sectors, which could radically reduce carbon emissions and help fight climate change. By using high-frequency vibrations to “divide and conquer” individual water molecules during electrolysis, the team managed to split the water molecules to release 14 times more hydrogen compared with standard electrolysis techniques. Electrolysis involves electricity running through water with two electrodes to split water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen gases, which appear as bubbles. This process produces green hydrogen, which represents just a small fraction of...

It’s no secret that the vast majority of the so-called elites are advocates of climate alarmism and are taken in by the Green New Scam.Whether this preference is based on ignorance of the science, ideological zeal, a willful desire to hurt American growth or simple greed because of their investments in Green New Scam infrastructure varies case by case.The typical upper-income supporter of the climate cult including academics, media figures and celebrities is probably ignorant of the fact that there is no evidence that CO2 emissions cause climate change and that the real causes are solar cycles, volcanoes, ocean currents...

When Adam Marcus and Ivan Oransky set up Retraction Watch in 2010, the idea of highlighting academic malfeasance was seen as unusual. Researchers didn’t peddle disinformation; they were the arbiters of truth and the custodians of society’s collective knowledge. In the fourteen years since, the scales have fallen from our eyes as the breadth of academic falsity has been uncovered – through the work of Marcus, Oransky, and a host of others. When they set up Retraction Watch, they believed there were around three retractions published by journals a month. It was actually 45. Now it’s closer to 300. The...

Lloyd Austin underwent an invasive surgical procedure called a prostatectomy for his prostate cancer. He was readmitted to the ICU ward of Walter Reed National Military Medical Center seven days later, on January 1st, due to complications caused by a severe infection. It appears he was septic. He concealed his inability to carry out his duties from Biden, Congress, the Pentagon, and his Deputy Secretary, Dr. Kathleen Hicks. On January 4th, finally becoming aware of Austin’s hospitalization, security adviser Jake Sullivan notified Hicks, who was on vacation in Puerto Rico. Even though Biden continued to back Austin, Austin was already...

Australian geologists have solved the mystery of what triggered and sustained an extreme ice age that gripped the Earth more than 700 million years ago. The study, published in the journal Geology, reveals how the Earth's thermostat works and how sensitive the climate is to changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide. Low volcanic activity and rock weathering The researchers used plate tectonic models to simulate the evolution of the Earth's surface and carbon dioxide emission from underwater volcanoes. They found that the onset of the ice age coincided with a period of very low volcanic activity, which reduced the amount of...
