Summary

Short housekeeping/response post after Infowars linked an SSC-survey reanalysis. Disclaims third-party analysis (attribute it to Philippe Lemoine, not SSC), adds sensible caveats (both political extremes skew toward diagnoses; leftists may be likelier to trust/frame issues via psychiatry; the SSC sample is unrepresentative and defers to the larger GSS), and reaffirms vaccines are fine. Mostly admin, but the attribution/representativeness points give it slightly more content than a bare stub.

Why this score

Quality 50 · Solid. Solid (50): a competent, sensible clarification with a bit of real methodological content (self- vs formal-diagnosis, defer to GSS), but essentially blog-admin housekeeping.

Claude’s paradigm shift 32 · Slight. Slight (32): little novelty; a topical response.

Real-world impact 1 · Negligible. Negligible-plus (1): ephemeral blog-admin note, no durable effect.
