As we're about to hear a whole lot more about autism and vaccines, the great @zachweinersmith.bsky.social has already pointed out the only relevant relationship between the two. www.smbc-comics.com/comic/autism...

Comic with two people talking, one wearing a white labcoat. "Wait a minute. Autism-spectrum people are over-represented in research science. But... But that means..." "My god" Caption: AUTISM CAUSES VACCINES.

Agreed! (With alt text for those who need it)

Judge Reyes: EO 14183 adopts the definitions of a separate executive order called Defending Women from Gender Ideology, Extremism and Restoring biological Truth to the federal government. And that EO states, "sex shall refer to an individual's immutable biological classification as either male or female." And it states that, "It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female." Do you see that or do you remember that?
Jason C. Lynch:| will take the court's word for it.
Judge Reyes: You understand, as a matter of biology, it's just incorrect that there are only two sexes, right?
Jason C. Lynch: Do I understand that to be incorrect as a biological matter?
Judge Reyes: Yes. It is incorrect as a biological matter. You understand that, right?
Jason C. Lynch: I don't understand that to be incorrect.
Judge Reyes: You understand that not everyone has an xx or an xy chromosome, right?
Jason C. Lynch: Honestly, no, I don't.
Judge Reyes: It's actually kind of a really important point because this executive order is premised on an assertion that's not biologically correct. There are anywhere near about 30 different intersex examples. So someone who does not have just xx or xy chromosome is not just male or female. They're intersex. And there are over 30 potential different intersex examples. We've got genetic differences. We have people with xxx chromosomes. We have androgen insensitivity, xy genetically, that may have female external sex characteristics and internally have testes. There's a five alpha reductase deficiency that causes changes in testosterone metabolism, xy that may have female external genitalia or ambiguous genitalia.
The point being, and I'm happy to have you guys brief this more if you want, but I'm telling you right now that there are people who are neither male or female. And so the premise of the executive order is just incorrect.

They know “DEI” doesn’t mean unqualified, but they are taking actions that try to make it true.

As a science advocate, something I hear a lot is that people think government would be better if there were more scientists and physicians elected to Congress. Senator Bill Cassidy's cowardice in voting for RFK Jr, show us that expertise is useless if you have no morals.

Checked on the article I wrote about Juneteenth in 2023… ”under review”

Screenshot of the webpage that formerly hosted an article about Juneteenth. Page now reads, “Under Review The page you have tried to access is currently under review as we evaluate the new Executive Order”

Today the Trump admin abruptly and indefinitely terminated many of the activities of the National Institutes of Health, the $50B/year collection of agencies that power the US biotech and health ecosystems. Even if these orders were lifted tomorrow, the disruption would be enormous. Why care? 🧵

Without saying who or where, I was at an event not too long after all this broke out, talking to an older woman, quite successful, who'd been in the business a long time. And she said something I think about a lot, because it helps explains why people so often disappoint you:
