Trump is back…the “Now What” thread

[DemonicLemming]

Changes in the DSM have made it much easier to "diagnose" autism compared to the past. It's probably more effective to look at outright misdiagnosis based on the DSM-V or "diagnoses of convenience" for the increase of autism over the past 10 years. Helicopter parents collect kids' mental disabilities like merit badges to show off to their friends, so easier diagnosis = happier parents, and it's easier to tell said parents their kid has a mental disorder rather than telling them they're shit parents who should't be in charge of a pet rock.

Also remember that the DSM arguably doesn't consider "gender non-conformity" (dysphoria) as a mental disorder in most cases, but playing too many online video games is considered a mental disorder.

similarly with adhd. so easy to blame something besides poor parenting, they jump at the chance to excuse themselves.

It isn't just easier - they have moved other diagnoses into autism, like what would have been called schizophrenic reaction or even schizophrenia and, in 2013, Asperger's. Whole populations that would have been diagnosed as something else are now part of the rising autism numbers.


A lot of things have been found to be correlated positively with the diagnosis of autism in children.

Older age of parents - and nobody is getting married at 16 and popping out babies at 18-25 anymore.

Obesity of the mother is correlated to autism in children, too. Nobody wants to talk about that, though. Fat shaming. The average woman is now 171 pounds, and that is the normal woman in the middle of the weight spectrum. That is more than the average man in 1960, who weighed 160 pounds. So . . . ain't nobody talking about this particular environmental effect on the baby being correlated with autism for fear of offending women.

Genetics: Twin studies were prompted by the rather obvious fact that autism tends to run in families and the suspicion that there might be a genetic component.

"The study included 37 570 twin pairs, 2 642 064 full sibling pairs, and 432 281 maternal and 445 531 paternal half-sibling pairs. Of these, 14 516 children were diagnosed with ASD. The model including additive and nonadditive genetic, shared and nonshared environmental parameters was chosen as the full model under which nested submodels were tested. The best-fitting model included only additive genetic and nonshared environmental parameters. Using this model, the ASD heritability was estimated as 0.83"

The Heritability of Autism Spectrum Disorder - PMC

This study reanalyzes Swedish cohort data to assess the stability under alternative assumptions and models of a previous estimate of the heritability of autism spectrum disorder.

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

For those of you who do not get statistics, 0.83 is an extremely high correlation. Look at it like this. A 1.0 is complete correlation every time. -1.0 is a complete negative correlation, that is, the two never match in the entire population sample. 0 is basically random within a sample, no correlation positive or negative.

This is a study of heritability. They are not looking at vaccines or anything else like that.

 

[Malum Prohibitum]

While the study did not look at vaccines, it did look at environment. This is possible because siblings and even twins are sometimes raised separately.

"Like earlier twin studies, shared environmental factors contributed minimally to the risk of ASD."

while difficult, they could have investigated whether stillbirths or miscarriages were caused by birth defects, or identified whether the excluded samples were vaccinated or not. perhaps they did, and decided to leave that out.
i believe poor prenatal care is a large contributor to early terminations, which confounds the data unless they break it down to small details.

The study was birth defects. The number of pregnancies that failed to make it to term were exactly in line with statistics, so the implication is that the vaccine did not contribute to those fetal deaths even though that was not the point. The study determined the vaccine did not contribute to birth defects. Anything else?

Your issue with the study is that the expected number of pregnancies failed to make it to term, and imply that there was some impropriety. This was a study of birth defects, so could not include participants that did not give birth. Please explain.

Madison from Federalist 47...The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny..

they address this in the article. they said it was too difficult to determine the cause of miscarriages and stillbirths.
why didn't they say that there was no statistical difference in clotshots vs purebloods?
the statistics were in their hands, even if they were only looking at livebirths.
like i said (ad nauseam) they have control over the numbers and samples.
if they find a sample that doesn't fit the narrative, they either find another sample, or fudge the data.
an outrageous (and growing) number of these "studies" have turned out to be complete bullshit upon honest review.

The number of scientific papers being retracted has been steadily increasing, with a record 10,000 papers retracted in 2023. This rise is attributed to increased scrutiny, better tools for detecting issues, and a greater focus on research integrity

Biomedical paper retractions have quadrupled in 20 years — why?

Unreliable data, falsification and other issues related to misconduct are driving a growing proportion of retractions.

at least in this study, they admit the team included a pfizer schill.
these days we can mostly ignore clean conflict of interest reports since we know usaid (cia) probably funds them through shadow ngos.

The real question is if the vaccine can cross the placental barrier. If this the case, things get interesting, and quickly.

There is no statistical difference between this group and the average number of pregnancies that do not go full term. Period. This study was not addressing cause of this, implying that the info is obscured or "difficult to determine" is absolute BS.

They lump a bunch of shit togeather and call it the autistic " spectrum ".

It's all fun and games with all the ass hats that think they have a " fucking" clue and the stupid sheep that follow them. Some of you liberal scum know who you are, SHUT THE FUCK UP .

When you spend your time telling your grandchild for the fifteenth time to stop doing something, and you eventually realise that getting mad and raising your voice is like pissing strait into a blue northern and you feel like an ass, you might get it eventually.

So any of you fuck tards that don't deal with that on a regular basis should really SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Fucking Democrat trolls.

 

[mosin46]

the fact that the psych doctors do move things from one diagnosis to another should be a concern. this does allow them to expand their justification for certain treatment options ie drugs. the question of are these really diseases or variability that occurs in human behavior and development. attention deficit is a good example of naming a behavior a disease and justifying drugging. the reasons for the increase in deficit have been debated everywhere. to me autism likely falls into that category. i don't know but i am betting many slow learning kids get that diagnosis. the game playing in medicine with diagnosis and the ICD-10 # it gets in the book for billing is a common manipulation.
the fact that someone doesn't trust any study done by bought and paid for academic doctors and universities (which most are) shows nothing but a rational look at the recent past.

Convicted FBI lawyer spared from prison by Boasberg far more involved in Russia probe than known

The judge who has emerged as a top foe of Trump's deportation efforts previously let a well-known Trump-Russia collusion hoax proponent off the hook. But newly-declassified Crossfire Hurricane records show the FBI's Kevin Clinesmith was deeply involved in in the bogus Russiagate saga.

justthenews.com

Newly-declassified details about Clinesmith’s involvement include a wide swath of information about his role in the case. He was a key go-to for former FBI lawyer Lisa Page and fired FBI special agent Peter Strzok throughout the debunked collusion saga and a main driver in obtaining a FISA warrant against Page based on the infamous Steele dossier.

it is clear that boasberg was aware of the lies, but he was part of the same team trying to "get trump".

If you find yourself citing US News & World Report, something has really gone awry. You know you can see who owns these companies nowadays, what their names are, who they support politically, where they come from, and whose interests they represent.

Mortimer Zuckerman

In their 2006 paper The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, John Mearsheimer, political science professor at the University of Chicago, and Stephen Walt, academic dean of the Harvard Kennedy School at Harvard University, named Zuckerman a member of the media wing of the "Israeli lobby" in the United States.[31] Zuckerman replied: "I would just say this: The allegations of this disproportionate influence of the Jewish community remind me of the 92-year-old man sued in a paternity suit. He said he was so proud, he pleaded guilty."[31]

Now go look at how much money US News has received from Pharma. Mortimer isn’t going to advertise against his biggest corporate sponsors. That would be like American Rifleman featuring stories about SIG P320s experiencing uncommanded discharges after taking Wayne La Pierre took a fat check from SIG to run ads in the magazine.
