The wide-ranging inquiry is a top priority for #RFKJr, who sees #vaccines as a “potential culprit” in various #neurological &#autoimmune disorders, including #asthma & #allergies [absurd]. It resurrects research into a number of ideas RFKJr has espoused, including whether vaccines are linked to #autism & whether thimerosal, a preservative that has largely been removed from vaccines in the #US but remains in some flu shots, is dangerous.

Slept for 16 hours today, combo of progressive neurological disease (which means I typically sleep 12 hours daily now, up to 18 hours) and hospital visit yesterday. But comfortable. Would have liked to do something useful. But sleeping clearly necessary and unavoidable. Fingers crossed for tomorrow! #Sleeping #ChronicIllness #Health #Neurological
Hoped to have my first play of board game Calico, but had to pop out all the cardboard pieces first, and sort them into wee bags. Big challenge with neurological illness hands! Done, though I'm now very sluggish all over as a result. Hope to have a play another day! https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/283155/calico #BoardGames #Disability #Accessibility #Neurological

"'The most striking finding was the sheer breadth & severity of the impact from #airpollution exposure. We found that #air #pollutants were significantly associated with the accelerated onset of different chronic #diseases, spanning almost every major organ system. We were particularly surprised by the high sensitivity of #neurological & #psychiatric disorders.'"
Air pollution making people in UK get long-term illnesses earlier, study finds

Pollution is ‘silent accelerator that robs individuals of their healthiest years’, say researchers

Alberta’s plan to curb MAID access worries ALS, Parkinson’s advocates
Alberta's move could unintentionally disadvantage people with neurological diseases like ALS by limiting MAID based on predictability of death, rather than severity of suffering.
