Also note that his affiliation listed on the NIH roster for January 26 is incorrect, as he was kicked out of that post a while ago.

Exclusive: Meet Richard Frye, who studies leucovorin for autism Frye has led two placebo-controlled trials of the folate supplement in autistic people; the first was suspended by regulators, and the other has yet to be published.

"Frye himself has offered expert testimony that vaccines “can induce or exacerbate mitochondrial dysfunction in individuals with mitochondrial disorders by increasing oxidative stress,” as one judge concluded in a 2014 ruling" www.thetransmitter.org/spectrum/exc...

Keep your eyes peeled for quacks in study sections. Case in point Richard Frye in the newish SEP that reviews autism grants I do know it is one person among many legit scientists, but I am concerned this is the start of a bad trend...

CBS news jumping on the autism-vaccine misinformation wagon. Anyone that asks for a proper trial is intentionally misleading people because all the studies have in fact been done when debunking Andrew Wakefield's fraud. They are just hoping you do not know or remember about the Wakefield MMR scandal

I just received an email alert of a whooping cough exposure at my sons middle school. A reminder that middle schoolers need a Tdap booster. So this is likely happening in middle schools across the country

We were told at study section there will be an administrative note to the applicant stating competitive ND. There was a vote to certify which applications will receive this designation

It's Friday. Given how things are shaping up I decided to re-post this thread of #Autism: The #evidence. Because VACCINES DON'T CAUSE AUTISM and the planned overhaul of the schedule of recommended vaccines that the HHS is undertaking has no scientific evidence to back it up. Until Next Friday..

Science. The CDC recommendations used to be based on very strong scientific evidence from studies we continue to go over and teach in medical schools. The evidence for the current schedule comes from decades of research and billions of vaccinated individuals
