These ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ childish idiots. Most of us learn as we grow older that being a part of a viable society means more than just reaping its benefits, it also requires assuming some responsibility toward it. If these people don't want to get vaccines for themselves or for their children, nobody is going to hold them down and force them to have them. But then they should understand that you don't get to endanger that society and still smugly claim a full part in it- if they want to separate themselves, they should have the balls to do it all the way.

The are indeed "childish idiots," but please don't make the mistake of confusing the anti-vax stance with selfishness. Antivaxxers are moronic. They are not particularly selfish.
Actually, getting yourself and your children vaccinated is one of the many ways of "reaping its benefits," i.e. the benefits of "being a part of a viable society."
They themselves and their children are the ones who are most likely to suffer the consequences of being unvaccinated.
As in the case of Feb 2025 death. They endanger themselves and their children more than they endanger society.

The parent should be held down so their children could be vaccinated. Their children are the ones who are actually endangered. It's a ◊◊◊◊◊◊ society that doesn't protect those children from their moronic parents.

Folic acid deficiency in pregnancy is associated with developmental abnormalities in particular spina bifida

Yep, this has been known for decades. Before my kids were born, this was commonly discussed. It was even recommended to supplement with folic acid even before conception (like, if you were trying to conceive) to avoid folate deficiency early in the pregancy.
Planigale said:
In the UK women are encouraged to take 400mcg supplement of folic acid daily. It's important not to take too much (the usual non pregnancy dose is 5mg) as excess folic acid intake in pregnancy may be associated with increased risk of autism. Some people with ASD may have abnormalities of folic acid metabolism and some may benefit from folic acid supplements. There is no definitive evidence.

So what I don't understand is, to claim that autisim is caused by folate deficiency implies that there was not folate deficiency before the "autism epidemic." Where were women getting all their folate back then?

As noted above, if anything folic acid supplementation has been increased during the era that autism has been apparently been increasing. I know that correlation does not equal causation, but it doesn't make sense to claim causation when you have anti-correlation.
 
Here is a link to the abstract of a 2021 analysis of folic acid and autism. "More clinical trials, with a clear study design, with larger sample sizes and longer observation periods are necessary to be carried out to better evaluate the potential protective role of folic acid in autism spectrum disorder risk." Some years ago Scott Gavura discussed folic acid supplementation and fortification.

RFK Jr owns Trump: "Senators want to make a little speech and then shut me down, but they can't deny the fact that we did worse in covid than any country in the world ... we literally were the worst team in the league."

The past tense framing is deliberate.
This is going to collapse society, and apparently we’re going to watch and do nothing. We’ve been doing nothing for two administrations now.

On 5 September at Pandemic Accountability Index the author gave a retrospective on David Zweig's talk. David Zweig is the author of the book An Abundance of Caution (reviewed here). PAI wrote, "Why should anyone trust Zweig's indictments of “expertise” when he and his "mensch" Jay Bhattacharya (we'll come back to this) clearly struggle with basic arithmetic?" At Pandemic Accountability Index on 8 September the author wrote, "Jay [Bhattacharya] & the new head of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, disgraced anti-vaccine crank Martin Kulldorff, proposed this could be achieved by hermetically sealing off countless Americans in motels for a mere 3-6 months as the virus burned through society like an unchecked wildfire. It was a recipe for disaster..." These articles could go into several threads at ISF, but because it deals with NIH leader Dr. Bhattacharya, this thread might be a good choice for them.
 
Inside Higher Education reported on Secretary Kennedy's initiatives regarding nutrition eduction within medical schools. They wrote, "In June, Kennedy—who has made false or misleading claims about vaccines, raw milk and food dyes—mentioned in passing that he was considering withholding federal funding for medical schools that don’t offer nutrition education. But that threat wasn’t included in the official Aug. 27 directive he issued with Education Secretary Linda McMahon, which demanded that premed programs, medical schools, residencies, medical licensing exams, board certifications and continuing education organizations all formulate nutrition education reform strategies within two weeks."

I'm not even questioning whethere this a link between autism and folate. The problem I am trying to resolve is, even if that were the case, how would it explain the "increase in autism" that has been seen?

I mean, the claim is that there is folate deficiency. But if that is contributing to the autism epidemic, then it must have been that there was not a folate deficiency in the past and there is one now. This is where I am questioning. What was the source of folate that women were getting back before autism went on the rise?

Moreover, since we know that folic acid deficiency leads to, inter alia, spina bifida, then there should be a correlation between rates of spina bifida and autism, right? So has there been a massive increase in the rate of spina bifida?

I don't think so. I think it is actually the opposite - that folic acid supplementation has decreased the rate of spina bifida.
 
pgwenthold,
I think the argument that you made is reasonable. I am just gathering information; I don't have a hypothesis to offer at this point.

certainly in the US autism has risen since fortification of food with folic acid has been introduced. So folate deficiency seems unlikely to correlate with autism. But perhaps artificially fortifying food with folic acid is the issue? Natural folic acid good artificial folic acid bad?
 
At Unbiased Science Jess Steier discussed mRNA vaccines from a historical perspective: "If someone asks why we needed mRNA when other vaccines worked fine, here’s what you can say: We didn't need it for diseases we'd already conquered. We needed it for the battles we couldn't win with our old tools. The old vaccines in our toolbox aren't going anywhere. Your kids will still get their MMR shots, their polio vaccines, and their tetanus shots. But for the diseases that have haunted us, for the next pandemic, for cancers that kill, we finally have a power tool in our toolbox."
