Hello to all the new readers I\\u2019ve gotten from, uh, Paul Watson of Infowars. Before anything else, consider reading\\xa0this statement by the CDC about vaccines.

Still here? Fine.

Infowars linked here with the headline\\xa0Survey Finds People Who Identify As Left Wing More Likely To Have Been Diagnosed With A Mental Illness. This is accurate only insofar as the result uses the publicly available data I provide. The claim about mental illness was made by Twitter user\\xa0Philippe Lemoine\\xa0and not by me. In general, if a third party analyzes SSC survey data, I would prefer that media sources reporting on their analysis attribute it to them, and not to SSC.

As far as I can tell, Lemoine\\u2019s analysis is accurate enough, but needs some clarifications:

1. Both extreme rightists and extreme leftists are more likely than moderates to have been diagnosed with most conditions.
