RFK, Jr., started the ball rolling by claiming that he'd find the cause of autism by September. No reason was given why it would be found by then, or on any other timetable, for that matter. Why September instead of July?
Meanwhile he foists the causal vs. correlation fallacy that because acetaminophen was introduced in the 1955, somehow it was to blame for autism becoming more widely diagnosed in the 50s. This ignores the fact that the first diagnosis of autism was in 1943, and it took years before the condition was widely recognized.
There is no scientific link, at least none that Kennedy presents. He could have just as easily linked autism to the advent of television or of rock and roll.
As a kidney donor, I use acetaminophen occasionally because it is the only over-the-counter painkiller deemed safe by nephrologists. I have a fairly high pain tolerance so I use it no more than once every three or four months. But for mothers-to-be whose pregnancy pain can be quite difficult, for Kennedy to use the bully pulpit of the federal bureaucracy to trash their one source of easily accessible relief is unconscionable.
Kennedy is a colorful character with the salesmanship and the lack of scientific knowledge that absolutely permeates social media today. Cane syrup = bad, natural food colors = bad, etc., etc.
If he'd just kept focused on his War on Red Dye #2, he couldn't do too much damage. He is a loose cannon and it's a shame President Trump is uncritically adopting his line.
You’re here to bash Trump
Why?
Senator Cassidy (“R”- Louisiana) sabotaged internist (still practicing) Dave Weldon MD from being appointed head of the CDC. Unfortunately, I know MAHA was somewhat thwarted from then on. (Cassidy was also behind the choosing of Susan Monarez, who has since been fired and is doing everything possible to sabotage MAHA further.)
Dave Weldon is a highly competent physician and would have been very measured and common sense about things.
I am sure that there is some evidence to back up the claim.
If this was the Biden administration the title of the article would be “FDA Caution Pregnant Women About Taking Tylenol”. I hate the MSM.
A lot of people tell me Tylenol doesn’t work for them.
You must have watched a different press conference than I did.
Maybe because “follow the science” only extends to the point where it goes against Big Pharma’s bottom line?
They seem to become autistic in a single day, a week or two AFTER A ROUND OF SHOTS
“We’re looking at Tylenol”
Horse hockey. The evidence of massive increases in children developing autism is indisputable. In just a few years, the cases have gone from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 31. It is quite likely that fetal development is strongly affected by mothers taking Tylenol.
Since you’re not likely to get pregnant anytime soon, butt out.
Are you pregnant?
It sounds like ten thousand cicadas reeeing over on 4chan pol
Yeah let’s go with the knee jerk Trump hating a-holes at the shill. Ladies go ahead and load up on Tylenol if you are pregnant what have you to lose
Miami NeverTrump. A Meatball POS.
I THINK the mother’s use of Tylenol messes with the baby’s ability to take in the folic acid that it needs.

Doctors used to make commercials for cigarettes, Nathaniel and Joseph. So stick that in your bong and smoke it, a**holes.
Sounds ok to me. I haven't used that stuff for decades because it doesn't work the way aspirin and ibuprofen work.
Was this his big autism announcement?
and that’s how the left will play this “Trump wants women to suffer and die in pain during pregnancy”
I haven’t seen the presser or heard all the details so I reserve judgement.
However, all I’m thinking is what happened to the ingredients in various ‘vaccines’ causing autism? And many other side effects? Is that all under some rug now? I sure as hell hope not.
I said sometime in the last week that we should start a running tally of Good Things That Have Happened so we can refer back to it to remember why we’re so happy.
I’m an emotional mess, have been for the last 2 weeks between everything and then other things. So my bitterness may be misdirected.
“Don’t take Tylenol” while pregnant or give it to babies and toddler IS standard guidance! As of today.
