Fill it out so we continue to rely on correlation equals causation!

Is that how you shrunk Malcolm?

For a bloke who claims to believe in empirical evidence, Senator Malcolm Roberts, this just looks like you’re actually more interested in anecdotal evidence gathered from the most unscientific questions possible, which means the “study” will be about as much use as a mermaid in a chorus line.

Does the following describe you, Senator Malcolm Roberts or Pauline Hanson better? Conspiracy theories didn’t proliferate because of social media algorithms. Rather, they stem from a deep-seated overconfidence. For years, experts blamed social media echoes and emotional voids—like narcissism or a need to feel unique—for the rapid spread of fringe conspiracy theories. However, a major study published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin reveals a much simpler culprit: a distinct cognitive mindset characterized by deep-seated, dispositional overconfidence. Led by researchers at Cornell University, the study examined over 4,000 U.S. adults and found that conspiracy believers consistently overrate their own cognitive abilities, such as numeracy and perception, while possessing a massive blind spot regarding their actual performance. Even more striking is how these individuals misread public opinion. The research revealed that while the fringe conspiracies they supported were only backed by a true majority 12% of the time, the believers genuinely thought an astounding 93% of the public agreed with them. This massive false consensus effect means that conspiracy theorists are completely unaware of how far out on the fringe their views actually are. Ultimately, this suggests that combating misinformation is not just about correcting facts or policing digital platforms, but about addressing the profound cognitive miscalibration and overconfidence of the believers themselves. source: Pennycook, G., Binnendyk, J., & Rand, D.

When the only cooked party let's its conspiracy theorist post on Facebook

Once again, Senator Malcolm Roberts is attempting to cast doubt on research involving more than 1.2 million children by promoting a self-selected internet survey involving, being generous, fewer than a thousand respondents. That 2014 meta-analysis combined five cohort studies covering 1,256,407 children, plus five case-control studies covering another 9,920, and found no association between vaccination and autism. Kirsch’s survey is something entirely different. It specifically recruits parents who already believe their child was developing normally and then experienced a sudden change. Kirsch himself describes the results as preliminary, and his recruitment method is an open online survey promoted through audiences already interested in vaccine-autism claims. That can generate anecdotes and hypotheses. It cannot somehow outweigh population-level research involving more than a million children. And yet, somehow, that isn’t even the part of this that disappoints us most. Once again, Senator Roberts is publicly presenting autism through the language of children who were supposedly “normal” until something happened to them. Think about what you’re actually saying to autistic Australians when you repeat that framing. That we’re damaged. That we’re broken. That something happened which took the “normal” child away and left us behind. We are not failed versions of neurotypical people. We are not damaged goods. We are not tragedies waiting for somebody to identify the contaminant responsible for creating us. There is absolutely nothing wrong with researching autism. There is nothing wrong with investigating regression, support needs, genetics, development or environmental factors. Good science should continue doing all of those things. But repeatedly amplifying weak evidence because it points toward the conclusion you already want, while dismissing vastly stronger evidence that doesn’t, isn’t scientific scepticism. It’s fear of where the science leads. And autistic people are the ones who get to sit here, publicly, while an Australian Senator repeatedly talks about us as though our existence represents damage that needs explaining. Senator Roberts, you keep asking people to listen to parents. Perhaps every now and then, you might consider listening to us.

WTF would want to participate in something like that especially in the U.S where the 🍊 fat cunt announced taking Tylenol while pregnant causes autism you one neuron Womble!

You are an absolute joke Malcolm Roberts!!

Vaccines do not cause autism. Malcolm needs to find out what is causing his parkinsons disease. He shakes more than my wife's vibrator.

THE DECEIT The facts that the MAGA Murdochs desperately don't want you to know is that they are managing their political puppets social media accounts and their political agenda It's political corruption at its highest level Malcolm doesn't get to see his articles before the MAGA Murdochs post them

You fucking toad. Get out of politics cunt. You are a national embarrassment.

Steven Kitsch is a businessman from tech. He has no medical specialism and has spread misinformation about COVID. There’s no such thing as sudden onset autism. It is irresponsible to share a post like this, even more so encouraging people to submit personal information on such a basis. Delete this.

Did you see Kirsch get his arse handed to him at a recent debate with real Scientists

Just confirms that nothing useful or correct comes out of this mans mouth 🙄

How you became and continue to be a paid Senator is a disgrace.

Yet another example of Malcolm Roberts crazy cooker vibe

I'm doing a 'study' too, if you stubbed your toe after a shower please fill in my survey. I am convinced that showers cause you to stub your toe afterwards and that's how I will prove it. I'm using Malcolm logic. Otherwise known as dipshits theory of logic

Oh not another moron traitorous politician telling us what's "good" for us. Piss off Senator Malcolm Roberts you and ALL of your fellow "politicians" deserve to face TREASON TRIALS, not a single one of you TRAITORS are above the LAW, never forget that old boy.

Senator Malcolm Roberts who made up this nonsense survey and what are the end goals?

You are an appalling excuse for a representative of the people. The reason that symptoms appear sudden is because that relates to its progression. Rather like people who are diagnosed with MS, Dementia or MND it can happen abruptly or subtly and be unnoticed and thus appear abrupt. The fact that our tax dollars pay you makes me ill.
