I was taking about gene therapy and the disccovery of #marker #genes for a number of genetically transmitted physical #disorders. I don’t know that #neurological disorders (as opposed to #neurodivergence which is a given in any population as part and parcel of evolutionary development in a specie — in my poor understanding of the term) are genetically transmitted as such, nor do I know if marker genes are discoverable for any identified neurological disorders. Without getting into fields of study of which I am completely incompetent to talk about, my assumption is that neurodivergence is not a neurological disorder. Happy to be corrected.

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.
