The american voters have really outdone themselves this time

All because of one debunked research paper fuck long ago. Damn did that do so much damage
Wouldn’t that involve them causing autism to prove it does?
“I’m autistic because I was a test subject for a government op…”
bruh…
Honestly there is an even darker side to this.
There are parents who would rather see there kid die from a preventable disease than have Autism.
Plot twist: they scale up the study nationwide, offering free flu vaccines to anyone who “volunteers” for the study as long as they take an autism test before and after.
Th3ry will continue to search until they find the answer they want
Honestly, I think this is awesome.
In what way is this awesome? I can see the dark humor but that’s about it.
WaPo strikes again with a plausibly deniable disinformation title, using the word “skeptic” wrong on purpose. I expect nothing less from Bezos.
There’s no such thing as a “vaccine skeptic”.
Skeptic implies that they could have their opinion swayed if presented with evidence. The fact that they’re still “skeptical” despite literal mountains of evidence shows that they only call themselves “skeptics” because it makes them sound reasonable, when in reality if they could have been swayed by reason they would have changed their minds a long time ago.Any paper showing Vaccines don’t cause Autism is immediately disregarded as “propaganda from the far left”
they try to downplay anti-vaxxers, thats what they really are, this include vaccine hesitency.
pro-worm but agaisnt vaccines.
Autism isn’t a fucking defect
I feel defective though.
Being branded atypical and living in a world built without you in mind probably affects that more than you sucking
They are less susceptible to propaganda, which authorities figures hate.
Is that why I’m cursed to see reality?
You could also just be a skeptic.
There was never a link to begin with. Never.
I hope this is a situation like the documentaries made to prove flat earth that do the opposite
I don’t see that happening unfortunately
RFK already fired someone for not publishing a paper showing vaccines cause Autism.
Someone please create a AI video of a debate with Trump about vaccines, where he gets dunked.
If they don’t play fair, we don’t have to either.
Forget the serious debate videos—his supporters aren’t watching those, and even if they did, they wouldn’t care. You want to make a dent? You go after the ego.
Picture this: an endless stream of totally “realistic” phone-recorded AI videos of Trump playing golf. He lines up the putt—misses. Tries again—air ball. It’s literally an inch away now—misses again. Doesn’t blink, just traps it in, smirks, walks off like he nailed it. Over and over.
The key is subtlety. These can’t look staged or flashy—make them feel like someone’s nephew filmed it from the cart. Make it look like he’s genuinely terrible but thinks he’s crushing it.
Then blast them everywhere. Flood the algorithm. Turn his “I’m the best at golf” schtick into a punchline.
This is how you use AI to actually take Trump down—with a thousand tiny ego papercuts.
Right now, we can empirically accuse them of lying. They cannot do the same. The minute we start doing this, we lose that advantage. Lies dilute the truth.
Fighting fire with fire isn’t always the best tactic.
Yeah but look where playing fair got us
Don’t start speaking sense around here mate, they don’t like it.

These people have co-opted the work “skeptic”.
I grew up Orthodox and became skeptical of god’s role in my life, now I’m agnostic.
My parents became “skeptical” of vaccines. Once they found their first antivax substack they are no longer “skeptical” but rather certain vaccines cause autism and covid vax causes heart attacks.
I find it hilarious (sad) they stop being skeptical once they find “proof” of their suspicions and then claim to be skeptics.
They of course have seen all the research supporting vaccines and deemed it insubmissable because it was funded by big pharma or the WHO (CHINA).
The only science they believe is the shit pushed by their “independent” researchers (crunchy influencers).
🤮
Don’t worry, Republicans have been hard at work destroying our public education system so that people in the future won’t be burdened with seeing and understanding their parents’ hypocrisy for what it is.
When you’re agnostic you’re just a closet atheist. It’s not that atheists are sure there is no god, we’re not, nobody can say that for sure. We can (and do) say, however, that you don’t have to worry about made up fairy tale rules, there likely isn’t a god. Just be a nice person and you’ll be fine.
All of the agnostics I know openly identity as atheists, too.
This is not true at all. That is why agnostic and atheist are two separate words with two separate meanings. I agree with the be a nice person part though.
I’m agnostic. Definitely not a closet atheist. I actually talk about God with my closest and most catholic friend regularly
I used to call myself an atheist but switched to agnostic since I don’t know for certain. My agnostic belief in a higher power is NOT the judgemental rule writing god of scripture. More of a default reason for enexplainable things in our universe. As science progresses there are less things where the higher power is needed.
But that’s just me.
I always told my parents when they were disappointed in me for ditching the “Faith”: I may be a bad Jew but I make every effort to be a good person.
I think we can be for sure, religious skeptic is an equally ridiculous term. It’s like saying I’m a teacup-around-Saturn skeptic. In any reasonable meaning of the word “certain”, “truth”, or “sure”, the teacup and any deity do not exist nor play any role in our lives. They deserve no consideration except for niche discussions in philosophy and epistemology. We should use the teacup example even in that case, not the deity one.
Atheist moment
agnostic arnt aethiest thought.
You can be both. A lot of atheists are also agnostics.
If the word “skeptic” in the title actually meant that, this would be a good thing. It’s good to be skeptic about everything until you’re shown evidence. The problem here is that those folks aren’t really skeptic.
People decide to believe something and then look for evidence
Like or not that’s the human thing to do. Breaking out of that mindset is hard.
Yeah, he’s a liar, not a skeptic. He’s denying evidence, not demanding it.
Hard to accept a “skeptic” in a field with overwhelming evidence that he’s wrong. It means he either doesn’t or refuses to understand the current data which makes him just a dummy not a skeptic
That’s que literally what op said
“LET’S FIGURE OUT AND CURE AUTISM” they say as if a considerable amount of humanity’s greatest inventions/discoveries aren’t accredited to people across the spectrum.
