New article by Katelyn Jetelina "Your Local Epidemiologist" 7-4-2025

"Third measles death
This is not normal. For three reasons.

Another child has died of measles. An 8-year-old girl. Unvaccinated. No underlying health conditions.

Your Local Epidemiologist · Third measles deathBy Katelyn Jetelina

#Autism diagnoses have increased globally over the last 60 years. Most of this rise is due to changes in how we define and diagnose it, but even standardized tracking suggests an increase.

What we _do_ know is that #vaccines have nothing to do with it. And every dollar spent chasing that disproven link is a dollar not spent on #research that could help parents and children.

Your Local Epidemiologist · Vaccines don’t cause autism. So what does?By Katelyn Jetelina
Replied in thread

@HelenBranswell This has been so thoroughly THOROUGHLY debunked for YEARS now, it drives me crazy that people are still spreading this harmful disinformation. For anyone without a NYT subscription, Your Local Epidemiologist (YLE) recently wrote an informative post about it too.

Opinion | It’s Time to Talk About ‘#PandemicRevisionism’ - The New York Times nytimes.com/2023/08/29/opinion “Katelyn Jetelina is an epidemiologist and the author of the popular newsletter #YourLocalEpidemiologist. She argues that we’ve entered a new phase of the #Covid19 #pandemic: “pandemic revisionism.” In her telling, the revisionist impulse seduces us into swapping cheap talking points for the thorny, difficult decisions we actually faced — and may face again with the next novel virus.”
