dvertising seems to be designed to influence how the news tells the news about big pharma? So that's a little sketchy.

So is big pharma trying to influence the news to take out RFK Jr.? That's what it looks like. I don't have any evidence that would connect them directly. But since I don't believe any big movements are natural or organic, everything seems to be driven by some money person in the background. It feels like maybe big pharma has decided to go after him. And the way they do that is by influencing the news. Maybe what I'd worry about.

Anyway, and RFK Jr. has been saying provocatively that one in 31 children born today are autistic and he's got this massive study going on and he says they're going to find out what causes it. Now at different times, or maybe even now, I don't know, a lot of people including RFK Jr. have believed that it might be because of some vaccinations or combination of vaccinations etc. But that link has not been conclusively proven. So it was worthy of a big study to find out what the real problem is, which still might be that, but they haven't done a proper study on it till now. So in September we're going to find out.

Now it might involve food. It's entirely possible that something we eat or it could be something in the environment like sniffing too much lead or I don't know, your parents use their phones too much or something. But at least he's open to whatever cause they could find.

And then I say, and this is either related or unrelated, you decide. Have you heard this claim that if you own a cat, you have a very high chance, I think 60 percent of cat owners have been infected by something that lives in cats called the Toxoplasma gondii infection. And it's something that doesn't affect the cat, but if the human gets it, which apparently most cat owners get it, it affects their brain. And there's a two times odds of getting schizophrenia if you're a cat owner. Schizophrenia. Now that is some serious stuff.

Now what question do I always ask? You know the question. Is it that owning a cat turns you into a schizophrenic? Or is it possible that if you're schizophrenic, you don't have regular friends and you need a cat friend to keep you company? Well, the article I read about it was pretty open that it could go either way, but they have tested the causation. And what they can test is people who own cats before they had a diagnosis because I guess the schizophrenia seems to kick in later in life. So there is some indication that it's far more likely that owning the cat and catching the Toxoplasma gondii infection is what causes you, at least some people, to become schizophrenic.

Now if owning a cat can make some people schizophrenic, could it make you autistic? Could it? Or is it possible that it's neither food nor pharma nor vaccinations that are making people autistic and that the real cause is something where you'd never even think to look like your cat? So one of the things I worry about is that the RFK Jr. study is going to come back without a conclusive answer because it might not be as obvious as we assume it is. Could be something from left field. You never know.

Anyway, I saw a post on X by Cynical Publius who said, just a reminder, the Trump-Russia collusion hoax was the worst criminal political scandal in US history, and nothing else even comes close. Watergate, by comparison, was a third-grader shoplifting a bag of gummy bears from a 7-Eleven. Yet literally no one has been held to accou
