@MovingTheDial @JillEscher @WiringTheBrain We can and do study environmental triggers of genetic mechanisms. I have a backlog of unwritten papers with negative results on this. I just finished a study of how smoking influences mutations in genes. Spoiler alert, not much. NIH grants go where the research is bearing fruit

But “experts” like @WiringTheBrain who cite no evidence whatsoever insist this is all diagnostic artifact. Autism rates in England have soared from .045% to 3%, with No Actual Evidence this is due to shifting definitions. Maybe some of it at the high end. But the rest? No way.

@globalhlthtwit Heard all of these interviews and was astonished there was no come-back from the interviewer on any occasion. Latest example was claim on World at One that the only benefit of a vaccine in young people was to the individual, and they’re not at risk of serious illness.

The BBC has an editorial duty to challenge and correct statements that are false. The media also report that PM Johnson said almost all deaths from Covid in the first wave were over 80. Again Prof Spiegelhalter said this is wrong, that 40% of people were in younger age groups.

I've heard three serious examples of misinformation on BBC programmes in the past 24 hours from Professor Robert Dingwall of JCVI, Lord Sumption and Sir Charles Walker MP. (1)
