      Yeah, they declared Tylenol was causing autism, causing lots of people to be outraged, especially those who are blaming vaccines as the “actual” cause for it. Absolute chaos.

        So the people who know better are mad and the people who are fucking whacky are mad. This seems like a low percentage move.

    They haven’t declared war on autism. They’ve declared war on science and knowledge in general.

    I hate to say it because it’s become a cliche, but it’s Idiocracy.

    I guess launching the Tylenol v Advil wars of 2025. Oh and supposedly the rapture is happening today or maybe it was yesterday. You couldn’t write this script with a million monkeys on typewriters!

    RFK Jr. said he’s gonna personally hunt down the first autistic (aka prime autistic) and kill them, which as we all know will cure all forms of autism world wide.

    Or maybe something equally absurd, anyway.

    Trumps mad cause he cant pronounce acetaminophen, as such he’s waging war on the name brand Tylenol saying it’s linked to autism. When in reality he just cant pronounce it so yeah. Word is he’s taking on tums next saying “eating driveway chaulk works just the same, trust me”

    It gets dumber. Worm brain and no brain now state confidently that autism is because the mother took a paracetamol. They’re incredibly stupid “people”.

      Anyone who says this stuff to me I’m going to just retort it by blaming it on other scientifically unsound reasons. Not because it will help, but because it will be entertaining for me. “Any father who ate red meat in the week leading up to insemination increased the chances of autism from near 0, to 1 in 50.”

        If you blame red meat a lot of these people will just nod and rub their chin knowingly. There are a lot of crunchy hippies who have completely disconnected from reality. But I guess reducing meat consumption isn’t a bad thing

          Yeah maybe you get less cows and more people focusing on a healthier diet when trying to procreate. With any luck it’ll lead into them trying to stick with healthier choices for them and the kids long term, but that’s just wishing. I know I make bad decisions and backslide all the time. Whether it be dietary, alcohol… Answering comments of upset people who you can’t reason with. I do it all

        Studies show that sexual congress in a north-south orientation results in an 83% increase in autism diagnosis.

      It’s a correlation doesn’t equal causation issue. Iirc years ago there was a study showing that certain viral infections during pregnancy might be linked to autism.

      Guess what people often take for symptom relief?

        The influence of genetics is very clear, with anticipation up the spectrum with every generation, especially with older parents.

        No one in austism research is taking environmental factors seriously in the last decade.

      It sets up the legal framework to charge parents of autistic children with child abuse and take away their kids.

            Look at what was happening at the Greer Center.

            It’s all across the state. Very deeply entrenched - look at how the whistle blower had her pictures posted around town/was sexually harassed in retaliation for bringing up the physical abuse of children/vulnerable adults.

            I have personally begged news outlets to cover things like DHS not reporting missing, DHS throwing away reports of abuse, cover ups…. No one cares. Everything’s Sinclair.

            If we ever return to federal sanity, maybe things will get investigated. But childcare and mental health care and education here are hellish.

    Hey, I just learned that the Conservatives of the USA have a conspiracy regarding ‘transgender ideology terrorist cells’. I thought the destruction of the US would be fun to watch, but their international influence and actual harm to people is beyond a joke.

    In one post, Mr. Musk referred to the transgender community as a “terrorist cell.”

    Source

    and [Tyler Robinson] was in “a romantic relationship” with the person he shared an apartment with, who is a man transitioning to a woman.

      Yeah dude, it’s very real. We’re weeks (possibly days) away from them shipping trans people (and homeless people, and “antifa,” and…) to camps.

      Please send help.
