Let us move from ideology to science. Yes to:- → GMOs. → Vaccines. → Pesticides. → Nuclear power. ↳ And other innovations that make the world a better place.

This year’s Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences goes to Joel Mokyr, Philippe Aghion, and Peter Howitt. Why? Because they explained something we often take for granted: Why the modern world keeps getting richer. The answer? Innovation. Let’s break it down 👇 For most of human

So if someone still says “I’m just waiting for more data…” Tell them: The data is already here. It’s been here. It’s saving lives every single day. Truth doesn’t go viral on its own. If this thread helped, boost it. 10/

8 billion doses later, we’ve seen enough: COVID vaccines are among the safest, most effective tools in the history of modern medicine. 9/

And yet… Some people still act like it's 2020. Still think it’s “experimental.” Still share Facebook memes like they’re peer-reviewed studies. 8/

Millions of scientists, regulators, and healthcare workers across every continent watched the rollout in real time. Not a single hidden lab. Not a single secret plot. Just science - open, transparent, and messy. 7/

And let’s be clear: mRNA technology wasn’t “rushed.” It’s been in development for decades. COVID was just the first time we used it at scale. 6/

The data doesn’t lie: The risks from COVID itself are orders of magnitude higher than the risks from the vaccine. This is not a close call. It never was. 5/

What did we find? âś… Saves lives. âś… Reduces transmission. âś… Prevents severe illness. âś… Side effects overwhelmingly mild. 4/

By now, we’ve tracked every possible outcome: – Mild side effects (fever, fatigue)? ✔️ – Severe allergic reactions? Extremely rare. – Long-term effects? Studied. Modeled. Monitored. 3/

8 billion isn’t just a number. It’s: – More than all babies born in the last century. – More than all global flu shots in a typical decade. – A sample size so massive, even rare effects can’t hide 2/

After 8 billion doses - yes, 8 BILLION - COVID vaccines aren’t “experimental.” They are one of the most tested medical interventions in human history. Let’s talk about what that actually means. 👇🧵1/

You cannot call yourself an ecologist and be anti-nuclear - because nuclear power is the only scalable, low-carbon energy source that preserves both climate stability and natural land. To reject it is to choose more mining, more gas, more land use, and more emissions.

This is the best time to be alive in all of human history. By almost every measurable metric, life on Earth has never been safer, longer or healthier.

When a family member over 85 years old is telling for the 28th time that “GMOs aren’t natural and cause cancer,” do you correct him or just smile and pass the potatoes?

Update time! With the benefit of another year of data, let's evaluate if America's young people are getting wrecked by cancer. Good news! America's young people still aren't getting wrecked by cancer.

Vaccines (including mRNA vaccines) are overwhelmingly good, and antivaxxers are overwhelmingly stupid.

Can we at least agree that it would be good to have safer and more effective vaccines that are rigorously tested according to established modern regulatory standards?

Pretty neat! We finally got a long-term primate GMO study. This went over seven years, involved two generations of macaques, and found no effects. GMO food still looks safe in every animal it's rigorously tested in.
