With the impending "cause" of autism apparently to be announced this afternoon, I would like to remind people that correlation does not equal causation. www.tylervigen.com/spurious-cor...

The correct answer, according to the article by Lenzer & Brownlee, is that only ~28% of recently approved FDA drugs met all four of their standards for approval. thesgem.com/2025/09/sgem...

The unpublished Henry Ford study reports an assoc between “any vax” & a heterogeneous composite of chronic diseases. The results are inconsistent with the strongest evidence showing no assoc between kid vax & chronic conditions. We should be skeptical of these findings. thesgem.com/wp-content/u...

Without RFK Jr publishing his methodology & statistical analysis plan a priori for investigating the cause of autism, he is opening himself up to the appropriate criticism of p-hacking. Transparency is part of his MAHA agenda. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

The FDA uses four standards when approving drugs. An investigation by Lenzer & Brownlee found that a small percentage of new drugs met all four criteria (control group, replication, blinding & clinical endpoint). thesgem.com/2025/09/sgem...
