Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>United States of... Bullshit and Pseudoscience?</p><p>If anyone needed a reminder that US health secretary and fervent anti-vaccine advocate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has no background in science or medicine, look no further than the video he posted on social media Tuesday evening.</p><p>In the two-and-a-half-minute clip, Kennedy announced that he is cancelling nearly $500 million in funding for the development of mRNA-based vaccines against diseases that pose pandemic threats. The funding will be clawed back from 22 now-defunct contracts awarded through the federal agency tasked with developing medical countermeasures to public health threats. The agency is the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).</p><p>Kennedy is generally opposed to vaccines, but he is particularly hostile to mRNA-based vaccines. Since the remarkably successful debut of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic—which were developed and mass-produced with unprecedented speed—Kennedy has continually disparaged and spread misinformation about them."</p><p><a href="https://arstechnica.com/health/2025/08/rfk-jr-defends-500m-cut-for-mrna-vaccines-with-pseudoscience-gobbledygook/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">arstechnica.com/health/2025/08</span><span class="invisible">/rfk-jr-defends-500m-cut-for-mrna-vaccines-with-pseudoscience-gobbledygook/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/RFKjr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RFKjr</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Vaccines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Vaccines</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/mRNA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mRNA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Science</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Disinformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Disinformation</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Misinformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Misinformation</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PseudoScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PseudoScience</span></a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Janyce Boynton spent time using these faulty communications techniques with nonverbal autistic children. One day, she realized that the technique she was using — facilitated communication, where a facilitator helps guide a student’s hands as they type — was so deeply flawed that she had subconsciously manufactured false allegations of abuse against a child’s innocent parents. In the decades since, she has dedicated herself to helping expose autism pseudoscience and help steer people towards more legitimate forms of communication.</p><p>It’s not a surprise then that Boynton has been critical of The Telepathy Tapes. On a YouTube channel dedicate to debunking autism pseudoscience, Boynton used part of one video that Dickens posted featuring a boy named Akhil spelling out messages with his mother. Boynton highlighted the video to show how Akhil’s mother can cue him about what letter to tap — which can risk robbing him of his voice in the process, as he is not typing out his thoughts but hers.</p><p>That was when the producers of The Telepathy Tapes issued a copyright complaint against the channel, resulting in YouTube delivering a copyright strike.</p><p>But the complaint was oddly sloppy.<br>(...)<br>Boynton teamed up with a California attorney named Pamela Koslyn to fight back, arguing to YouTube that the use of the clip falls under fair use. YouTube stated that The Telepathy Tapes had 10 days to sue in federal court for copyright infringement; if they didn’t, the content would be restored. The strike was removed and the video is back up on Boynton’s channel."</p><p><a href="https://www.theamericansaga.com/p/the-telepathy-tapes-turns-to-censorship" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theamericansaga.com/p/the-tele</span><span class="invisible">pathy-tapes-turns-to-censorship</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/YouTube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>YouTube</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Censorship</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Copyright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Copyright</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DMCA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DMCA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Science</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PseudoScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PseudoScience</span></a></p>
