Engagement
A typical post picks up 490 interactions against 634K followers, an engagement rate of 0.077%. Measured over 39 original posts, its engagement rate beats 65% of 6,874 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 23K times each, and 2.17% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.57% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4.9 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 30% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 39 posts sampled, 62% carry an image or video, 5% are part of a thread and 44% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 27K interactions, about 55x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #alyciahallyaday, #groklighting.

Compared with accounts its own size
Steve Kirsch's engagement rate beats 65% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 71% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 20:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 62% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 44% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 62% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 44% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 481 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

🚨 Poul Thorsen, a researcher whose work was used to reassure millions of parents that vaccines do not cause autism, is expected to plead guilty to fraud on Sept. 1. Thorsen worked on major studies examining vaccines and autism that were cited by the CDC and became part of the scientific foundation used to dismiss concerns about a possible connection. He was later accused by federal prosecutors of stealing more than $1 million in CDC grant money intended for research, using fabricated documents and fraudulent invoices to divert the funds for his own use. For years, we’ve been told not to question the science on vaccines and autism. We were told the evidence was overwhelming and the people conducting the research could be trusted. When the integrity of the people producing that science comes into question, so should our willingness to accept their conclusions without scrutiny.

RFK Jr: "Bill Gates DTP Vaccine was a DEADLY SCAM!" Gates begged the Danish government to fund his DTP vaccine rollout for 161 MILLION African children, bragging it would “save 30 million lives.” Instead… the data showed vaccinated girls died at 10 TIMES the rate of unvaccinated girls. TEN TIMES. This wasn’t a “mistake.” This was mass death disguised as charity. How many more children have to die before the world holds this man accountable?

Joe Rogan points out that Poul Thorsen, a scientist behind research often cited to argue vaccines don’t cause autism, was just arrested for fraud. “The guy who wrote the study that’s often quoted about vaccines not causing autism just got arrested for fraud.” “So the scientist whose paper they quote when they say, ‘Here’s the proof that vaccines don’t cause autism.’” “He just got arrested for fraud.”

Please whatever you do... DO NOT TAKE THE NEW FDA APPROVED mFLUSIVA mRNA FLU SHOT Moderna’s first-ever mRNA flu vaccine was just FDA-approved and rushed to market — loaded with red flags that echo COVID-era patterns. • 75.7% of mFLUSIVA recipients reported adverse reactions within 7 days... fever, extreme fatigue, severe headache and pain. • Severe systemic reactions were 5–6X higher with illness occurring in 1 out of every 20 participants. • The “placebo” was not saline — it was another flu vaccine Fluarix: No true inert placebo means the safety contrast is gone, and absolute risk versus nothing is unknown. • Safety follow-up was only about 6 months: Long-term effects, rare events, and multi-year outcomes remain completely untracked in the published data. • There were 102 deaths in the mRNA group: The FDA labeled them unrelated, yet no autopsies were performed — leaving complete uncertainty. • Same technology. Same pattern: Built on the identical mRNA platform as the COVID shots that produced high injuries, illnesses and deaths.

Today I had 4 vaccines: Typhoid, tetanus, dipheria, and pertussis. And I am still alive and feel fine. Tomorrow, I will take another one (cholera). I am so happy that I am not a nutjob antivaxxer and that I am protected against deadly diseases.

Ever since @grok was programmed to be pure propaganda on pharmaceutical issues, particularly vaccines, I have a sense of loss. It's a matter of trust. If it cannot be objective and truth telling, what purpose does it serve? If I go 10 rounds, it can squeeze truth out of it, but why bother?

- What is Steve Kirsch's engagement rate on X?
- Steve Kirsch (@stkirsch) has an engagement rate of 0.077%, based on the median interactions across 39 original posts from the last 30 days against 633,709 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.077%, Steve Kirsch sits above the 25th percentile of the 66,536 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @stkirsch have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 65% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @stkirsch post?
- Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 4.9 posts per day across the measured window.
