“The causative association . . . between Tylenol given in pregnancy and the perinatal periods is not sufficient to say it definitely causes autism. But it is very suggestive,” Kennedy told reporters, citing animal, blood and observational studies.
Was what he actually said, the headline is click bait.
that not clickbait, it’s calle paraphrasing
can’t put the entire paraghaph as a headline
Its deliberately obfuscating a critical part of the quote in order to get more attention.
Its clickbait.
I think a more accurate paraphrasing would be that he said studies suggest Tylenol during pregnancy causes autism.
A respected academic telling me that something or another in data is “suggestive” means something. From a rando pseudoscientist working from the armchair, it means fuck all.
This is just I don’t want to get sued speak, no?
Pretty much.
But saying anything “definitely” in medicine is difficult, especially when it comes to the brain. (Which is why medicine is full of “I don’t want to get sued speak”)
One Texas AG lawsuit, and they panic and rescind because they know they’re bullshit won’t hold up on court. Texas for the win??? 🤦♂️
～(つˆ0ˆ)つ｡☆ The stars at night are big and bright clap clap clap clap
As a native Texan i want to make clear that there is never a situation where someone yells out “the stars at night are big and bright” and everyone claps.
That being said if it were to happen, absolutely everyone would clap.
Imagine being, like, 75 and suddenly having to learn philosophy of science
I don’t see how Johnson and Johnson haven’t sued the absolute shit out of him at this point.
Too late, he did the damage he wanted to do and the cult isn’t going to stop blaming Tylenol.
I wonder how this will stack up in Texas’s lawsuit.
What, they care for proof now?
Btw, Trump looks not amused.
there is not
sufficientany proof at all
FTFY
But you said you knew it did…How could you slander/libel this brave american company.
…then why did you say it did?
Fucking reckless and dangerous.
Brain worm and swimming in feces, remember?
My guess is that worm just thinks Tylenol makes brain taste bitter.
He has temporarily wrestled control of his brain back from the worm.
Tylenol told him they’d sue his pants off is likely what happened here. It’s only a US brand of a more generic aspirin after all. So which is it, the generic drug, or the brand name that causes autism? Surely can’t be both in this case.
Tylenol is paracetamol, aka acetaminophen, not aspirin.
Which is generally even safer than aspirin and ibuprofen.
acetaminophen (paracetamol)
Here is some evidence that the worm is now moving again.
KACO?
Sounds like what he’s speaking
Holy shit! It’s the consequences of his ineptitude all caught up with him! Who woulda thunk!?

It’s a shakedown warning to pharma companies: “we will upset your revenue stream unless you bribe us not to”
That’s the only reason I can see a U-turn happening here
