Seneff Claims GMOs Cause Concussions. Umm.
https://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/seneff-claims-gmos-cause-concussions/"Stephanie Seneff first came to skeptical attention when she published a study claiming that vaccines were linked to autism. She trolled through the VAERS database and, as David Gorski noted, tortured the data until it confessed. Last year she published a paper in which she claimed glyphosate caused autism, claims which I addressed almost a year ago. Gorski also deconstructed this paper, noting, In fact, if you look at the slides for Seneffs talks (e.g., this one, available at her MIT web page), youll find a tour de force of confusing correlation with causation

Since I live in California, I guess the drought is my fault, because I haven't washed my car in more than a year.
