@JillEscher @FogelSylvia @katiewr31413491 Parents consent to vaccines because they have no idea that medical professionals don’t know any more about these products than the average man on the street. Medical professionals recommend & administer vaccine products contrary to their professional codes of ethics.

@JillEscher , I so appreciate you. Perhaps we can serve as a model for how people can find common ground while still respectfully disagreeing. You and I are aligned on a number of important issues: the rising prevalence of autism, the significant support needs faced by those with profound autism, the importance of the prenatal environment, and the need for serious scientific inquiry. I’m also intrigued by your hypothesis regarding germline mutations, particularly as it relates to the growing recognition of the role of de novo mutations in autism. At the same time, we differ on a number of issues, including the potential importance of postnatal environmental exposures and illness, especially in relation to neurodevelopmental regression, co-occurring medical conditions, and overall severity. We also disagree about communication options for nonspeakers and the role of motor differences in that population, though I also want more research. At the end of the day, the autism community needs to focus on being on the SAME TEAM, and the relentless attacks by the same three or four people need to stop. We should focus on common ground and on the shared goal of helping children and families — not only our own children, but the many children and families struggling now and those still to come as prevalence continues to rise.

Both @HelenTager and David Mandell have a history of flippant and group-thinky denialism of the staggering increase in autism and thus helped fuel the complacency that plagued @IACC_Autism. (Data below is limited to autism cases with substantial developmental disability — wake up people.) Halladay on the other hand has a sincere concern but unlike some current IACC members, rightly rejects vaccines as an explainer. @_TheTransmitter has a de facto editorial policy of denying the increase in autism. We all pay a whopping price for its cherished luxury beliefs.

@simonmaechling Science gives us questions that may not be answered. $science gives us answers that may not be questioned. You did this to yourselves. Covid woke up many.

It's not sad. People still support science, but have turned against dogma, falsehoods and blatant self-interest masquerading as science. This is intrinsically a good thing, and will eventually improve the way scentists act. And to say "We fed billions..." is just silly. Human progress did, not a religion, specific group or institution.

The collapse of trust in science is going to go down in history as one of the most sad, bizarre, and destructive social contagions of modern times. We fed billions, cured diseases and powered nations - yet people ran toward conspiracies instead.

@simonmaechling Collapse of trust in science is overdue well deserved due to all the science lying. Alot of the commercial science is just marketing & lying, sadly with “government” approval & funding. The biggest predator of humankind is humankind.

@boriquagato Personally think THE PROBLEM lies in science lying rather than science dictates/ loss of trust. The main problem is SCIENCE DISHONESTY. Trust has been lost because of all the lies. For heaven’s sake, vaccines cause autism.

you're villifying the wrong people and arguing by false equivalence, simon. people still trust science, they just do not trust "science imposed upon them by experts at the point of a gun." no one is saying "airplanes don't fly" or "computers don't compute." they are saying "you lied about climate change, epidemiology, trade offs with products like roundup, GRAS designations, nutrition, race, gender, and 500 other topics>' and many of these criticisms have validity. and in response, the experts blame the questioner and demand deference. and those who refuse to engage on facts rarely have the facts on their side. trust was lost because "the experts" proved not only untrustworthy, but outright dictatorial. they faked evidence and data, made up wild pseudoscientific theories, and vilified sound science, and pushed utter fakery in its place. they censored opposition and claimed "the science was settled" to prevent investigation into their frauds. and they forced the whole world at the expense of lives and trillions of dollars of lost welfare to play along. it was high handed, dishonest, tyranny. have you stopped to consider that they earned this loss of faith? because they did. MIT wrote a literal article about "anti mask twitter" which it vilified by claiming “most fundamentally, the groups we studied believe that science is a process, not an institution.” as though it proved we had somehow turned our backs on science. but we did not. science is and must be a process. it is never an institution. that's dogma, not the methods of bacon. we did not stop trusting science, the experts stopped performing it and were dancing around in the flensed skinsuit of scientific method that they had stripped from the bones that made it valid: dispute, dissent, replication, validation - open and honest discourse. if you want to win back trust, you need to restore open debate and engagement, share methods, means, and data. wailing about "they won't trust us!" and blaming the folks who called out the deviation from sound science is just another arrogant presumption for institutions to dictate doctrine. you want to respect for sceince? start respecting to process of science again.

Nice guy but his is a hypothesis with no evidentiary weight behind it. There is little evidence that fetal exposures of any kind cause autism (w some exceptions like maternal valproic acid). The great weight of evidence shows autism is innate and heritable— but also only rarely genetic. To develop a meaningful strategic plan that will lead to breakthrough discovery the IACC will need to engage with the actual science and learn from people with troves of scientific knowledge like @alisonsinger @AHalladay212 and not pretend like the past 20 years of scientific discovery didn’t happen. You and I will agree on a whole lot but I won’t be quiet if I see federal autism research dollars squandered.

The work of Phil Landrigan and many others supports the notion that early life exposures have an impact on development. Organophosphate pesticides and heavy metals are the focus of Landrigan’s work although we are bathed in thousands of neurotoxins from conception through our entire lives. I’d love to see a research focus on building cellular resilience.

A systems biology framework—one that considers cellular metabolism, including signaling pathways, redox balance, and mitochondrial function, alongside the dynamic interplay among reciprocally regulating body systems such as the immune system—is crucial to advancing autism research. As researcher Robert K. Naviaux and others have emphasized, diverse genetic and environmental factors may converge on disruptions in cellular metabolism, resulting in systems-level dysfunction across the body. Historically, autism research has focused primarily on the brain. However, the high rates of co-occurring medical conditions, together with multiple converging lines of evidence, increasingly suggest that for at least some cohorts, autism may involve whole-body pathophysiology rather than isolated neurodevelopmental differences alone. Expanding research efforts to include underlying systems biology therefore represents an important complement to existing lines of investigation. This paper is a tour de force and underscores that perspective. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41242673/ Visit the Autism Innovation Coalition for more of these perspectives. autisminnovationcoalition.com

@FogelSylvia @JillEscher How can there be such a disconnect? Isn’t it just commone sense to protect children from neurotoxins during foundational brain development? Unicef, CDC, the WHO: surely all these supposedly august orgs can figure out minimizing neurotoxins is good? unicef-irc.org/article/958-th…
