We're so relieved to see Germany reaffirm its opposition to the dangerous Chat Control proposal--the one that would mandate mass scanning of communications. Germany's long been a solid champion of privacy, and the news that it was considering backing mass surveillance was alarming. 1/

Can't believe I didn't think to search this earlier, but of course he's been accused of sexual assault. And he paid the victim off in order to muzzle her. newrepublic.com/post/191104/... Like I've said before, sexual assault or rape is a job requirement of the Trump administration.

"The most striking finding was that using ChatGPT literally made students’ brains less active. Students who relied on AI showed significantly reduced brain connectivity – fewer regions of their brain were communicating with each other compared to those writing without help."

Really almost everything is in the air so they could just make airborne the default. But they'd rather kill nurses and save a few bucks.

Yikes! The company that makes Tylenol is now being sued by angry parents who say the painkiller caused their child's autism. It's unfortunate that so many people follow Trump down rabbit holes of misinformation & disinformation👇

This week: The Network State conference in Singapore. Watch as radicalized tech billionaires and authoritarian governments openly plot a post-democracy, post-USA crypto future. The Network State is an extremist tech cult based on the work of Curtis Yarvin. It calls for a program of "tech zionism."

The “no more lockdowns! Reopen everything” grifters from 2020 are now trying to prove ivermectin, an anti-parasitic drug, cures cancer. The only parasite here I see is “ReOpenChris” that no dosage of ivermectin could possibly treat.

Autism and other persistent developmental disorders (F84) are more prevalent among 15-24 year olds than in any other age group. Current estimated growth rate is 34% y/y, or power(1.384,10)=19 times in 10 years (19x19=384 times in 20 years, etc.), if current growth rates continue. 2/x

In Finland, autism and related pervasive developmental disorders (F84) are up 4.3 times from 2020. Current growth rate is 29.4% per year, or 13x in 10 years if current growth continues (13x13=169x in 20 years, etc.). There was little growth before the pandemic. 1/x

I looked into those cancers that had no records during 2019, 2019 and 2020 among 25-49 year olds. From 2021 to 2025e, the number of diagnoses has grown strongly. In total population, the number of patients has more than doubled from 2019. 35/x

Trump’s executive order designating ANTIFA as a domestic terrorist organization is worded so that anyone protesting ICE agents, filming or asking them for ID, or informing people of their rights, can be charged as a domestic terrorist. This isn’t an attack on ANTIFA. It’s an attack on our rights.

Malignant neoplasms (C00–C97): among 25–49 year olds, the number of various types of cancers has risen by 53/32 = 65% from 2019 to 2024, with the new cancers showing faster growth than the total. 34/x

The second-fastest growing cancer among 15-24 year olds is brain cancer, with a 26.7% average growth rate between 2021 and 2025e, or 10x in 10 years. 33/x chatgpt.com/share/68d044...

The fastest growing cancer among 15-24 year olds is bone cancer in hands and legs (C40), with 76% current y/y patient growth in 2025e and 75% last year. 32/x chatgpt.com/share/68d035...

The second most common cancer among 15-24 year olds is Lymphoid leukaemia (C91), with incidence up 5.3 -fold from 2020. 31/x

Among 15-24 year olds, Hodgkin's disease (C81) is the most common cancer, with incidence up 0.003555/0.000824 = 4.3 -fold in the past 4 years. 30/x

Here is the calculation. I estimate that in Finland, incidence (diagnoses) of C74 during 2024 and 2025 in the pediatric population (0-14) is between 200 and 220 times higher than the average incidence (patients) in the United States. 29/x

been a while, mum fell again & of course got covid in hospital for the THIRD fucking time! xx (same hospital as last two times, & no one gives a shit) niece & bro also got covid, so at least 6 times now, neither took time off work or school, I only caught it because testing them after mum came home

I like this. This is good. More of this please.

Among 7–14 year olds, brain cancer (C71) is showing the highest y/y growth rate in diagnoses, with number of diagnoses excepted to double in 2025e. 24/x

A note on malignant neoplasm of the adrenal gland (C74): in a single step, the incidence among infants rose to the top. <1 year olds are now diagnosed with this cancer 0.02712/0.0004253 = 64 times more frequently than the general population. 21/x

I'll next walk through some of the R codes (=lab findings) listed above, starting with Fever of other and unknown origin (R50). Levels are highest among <1 year olds and 1-6 year olds; and trends are up. 18/x

The other cancer among 1-6 year olds is Lymphoid leukaemia (C91), where number of diagnoses among 1-6 year olds is up 20 times since 2020. 16/x

Malignant neoplasms (C00-C97): for the first time ever in the history of the database, cancer diagnoses have been recorded among <1 year olds. All cases involve Malignant neoplasm of adrenal gland (C74). 6/x

RFK jr's vaccine advisory panel voted to limit which children are eligible for the combination MMRV vaccine. Kids under 4 aren't eligible for the combo measles/mumps/rubella/chickenpox shot. But they also voted: When the same shots *are given separately* they're okay for kids under 4 Gift article

Trump’s allies now control X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, & TikTok. They own Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ & NY Post. They own Sinclair Broadcasting which has 200 tv stations and local news in 100 markets. “Freedom of speech” is now what Trump and his billionaire pals say it is.

RFK jr has added 5 new members to a key CDC vaccine committee. The panel is made up of a motley crew of antivaxxers & conspiracy theorists. No one has a background in vaccines or immunology. They meet on Thursday to review recommendations for several shots. Hoping the protesters will be back👇

Finally, dividing the above numbers (table above in 8/x) with population data, we get this annual graph. Note that current year patient data is year-to-date, i.e. it will continue to update until December. 13/x

A total of 48 new G90 patients were added in July across all age groups. That's an annual run rate of 48 times 12 = 576 patients per year, which translates to an annual growth rate of 576/254 -1 = 127 percent in August 2025. 8/x
