@sara-rocha.bsky.socialRFK Jr just claimed that autistic people will cost the US $1 trillion/yr by 2035. He took the figures from a paper by Blaxill & team (2023). Their paper was so full of mistakes that the Journal had to remove it. The Journal posted up this 'retraction notice' 👀 pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
Show PostWe need less "I'm autistic and I work/pay taxes" in response to RFK Jr's comments and more "autistic people are still valuable even if they can't do those things." We can't leave anyone behind in our efforts to "prove" a eugenicist wrong.
Show PostWould be really fun if at the end of RFK Jr.'s Autism Fact Finding Mission (he will find the cause of all autism personally in six months) he blames something very different than vaccines. JPEG files cause autism, we gotta get rid of the JPEGs.
Show PostUgh. I thought she couldn’t get any worse.
