I don’t know Kenvue, but i wish them luck killing RFK Jr. In court.
So something so ludicrously common that it basically can’t be proved. Super.
Did you know that 97% of people killed in car accidents clean their teeth on a regular basis? I think we need to look into that.
100% of people who died drinked water
100% of people exposed to dihydrogen monoxide eventually die, and sometimes develop an array of diseases and disorders before their inevitable death.
Fucking crackpots in charge. This makes Lysenkoism seem sensible in comparison.
That dude is talkin a lot of shit for a guy standing in the “get pushed in front of subway” zone.
Personally I’m expecting him to get shot, not even necessarily for being a shitstain but because he is a Kennedy. If some dumbass can try to kill Reagan to impress Jane Fonda(?) for some reason then someone will want to kill RFK Jr for the meme.
Is there a Sirhan Sirhan Jr?
From the mouth of a wannabe Mengele.
I like this guy. He’s on track to finally pin lung cancer on the tobacco industry. Any day now.
Why are these people so desperate to find some external factor for autism?
Because the religious and/or kooks don’t sit well with the chaos/randomness of life.
Sigh… here goes: because then they could “fix” it.
i don’t need fixing. I just need support.
Source: Am Autie.
They don’t want to fix it, they want to blame the victims for “causing it themselves”.
Because the anti-vax people who have autistic kids hate their children. They hate that they’re not perfect and “normal”. And they hate that they have to deal with a child that requires more care than other people’s children do.
I think we should make banners and say it out loud to every single person who can hear.
#Anti-vaxxers HATE autistic children
#Especially if that autistic child is their own.
Because they can’t cope with random chance, there has to be a cause. They need a villain.
They don’t wanna blame god.
Hardships are a test from god unless that hardship can also speak or act counter to societal norms!
Why blaming gods for random bullshit is easier on the mind? Random bird take a massive shit on my cars hood? Clearly Odin needs to reign in his ravens.
You get brought up with prosperity gospel and you think that wealth and good fortune are an indicator of holiness and piety. You internalize that shit. And since you worship what you have been told all your life is a loving god, since you do all the things your church tells you to, since you give them 10+% of your income and hate the minorities they tell you to and vote for the fascists they tell you to, you know yourself to be pious.
Understanding that we live in a random universe with no sense of justice is fundamentally incompatible with a belief in an orderly universe governed by a just god. So when you encounter misfortune, you don’t blame God, since you see Him as infallible and perfect. You either blame yourself or start looking for someone to blame.
Which is very useful to people seeking to manipulate hateful credulous people who are convinced of their own righteousness.
Muninn refuses he WILL poop on your car
Is that as those who are punished, in religion, deserve it? However children are innocent and usually autism is diagnosed in young people or children. So, they don’t ‘deserve’ it? If it’s just random, maybe other things are too and the preachers are making stuff up?
It’s a long train of thought to get there. I’d say it’s more just susceptibility to conspiratorial thinking, but who knows.
The parents can get punished by having an autistic child…
I’m confused where this zeitgeist about Tylenol being bad for you is coming from. I remember working in pharmacy that taking Acetaminophen was the least reactive painkiller with the least number of long-term issues, but I’m hearing a lot more people talking about how bad it is for you.
The studies I’ve seen have been correlative at best, and, considering that NSAIDs and opioid painkillers are far worse over time, I don’t understand the dissonance in advice that seems to be appearing.
Is this more “seed oil” nonsense?
I don’t follow this topic regularly and I can’t say anything about the mechanisms. From a superficial search I would claim that there is good evidence that Tylenol use during pregnancy can make the development of asthma in the child more likely. There is also some indication (at least one large cohort study from Icahn medical school) that it may cause delayed language development.
That would be enough evidence for me to discourage use during pregnancy for treatment of discomfort or light pain, when safer options can be tried.
My point is that comparatively, acetaminophen is (or at least was) the safest drug for light pain.
I haven’t seen any new categories of painkiller that would indicate that’s no longer the case, though.
A lot of common over the counter drugs like Tylenol are more risky than people assume, so the idea of one having negative effects on fetal development isn’t out of left field. At the same time, not a single study pushed by this anti science ideologue can ever be trusted without corroboration by independent researchers. The risk of having a bad reaction to common medication nobody bats an eye at is often higher than the vaccines this dumbass rails against, so it’s not like a stopped clock being almost right makes up for his bullshit.
so it’s not like a stopped clock being almost right makes up for his bullshit.
Nice try, Jessica
It’s pretty easy to overdose on Acetaminophen, Wikipedia suggests >100k a year in the us (it’s in so many OTC medication, stuff like cough syrups and the like, really easy to hit the 4g/day max dose)
I’ll still use it, just use it responsibly.
To add to this I’ve heard professionals in my field say if acetaminophen was discovered today it would likely be a controlled substance for this reason alone. The overdose potential is too high. That always seemed like an extreme measure but i can understand it.
Not as easy as aspirin.
In the article it says folinic acid is a treatment for autism. Like…what?
…and they aren’t even calling it Vitamin B9. Big science words. Aren’t they the ones that want to ban any words in food that sound scary? I mean, it’s folic ACID! ACID!!!
The makers of Tylenol are about to sue the shit out of this clown.
Sadly theyre going to sue the shit out of the US government, which we will all be paying for with tax dollars when they win… direct consequence courtesy of the morons who voted for this
Wouldn’t surprise me if Trump or someone else in this admin is good friends with executives at Johnson and Johnson and the whole point is to just give the company massive gift by doing a legal case with high damages and guaranteed loss
Can they please just sue Jr. directly instead? Maybe if we ask nicely they will?
Is there only one place that produces all the acetaminophen? He hasn’t named any brands directly that I’m aware but i don’t fallow that weirdo very closely. If he names a big pharm brand directly you know it’s some real market manipulation, right?
They won’t. The knee will bend as always.
Wow, autism turns out to be not only bad but also women’s fault. Amazing what an investigation under the impartial leadership of misogynist neo-Nazis can discover.
What a fucking joke. Tylenol is literally like, the only painkiller you can take while pregnant. Our OB said only Tylenol. To attack this, that is in such broad use, is to clearly state that this study is bunk and they’re just making shit up
Dude said he could see kids’ mitochondrial DNA or some shit, anything he says should be bunk!
Have they tried investigating water? Most criminals have water. Most pregnant mothers whose kids turn out to have autism drink water.
Real murican mothers drink only beer and good ol whiskey
The dangers of dihydrogen monoxide are well known 🤣
Makes me get up at night!
Turns out they have investigated water, and it’s fucking toxic here in the states. 100 or so chemicals are regulated and tested for out of many thousands.
Based on the data of the chemicals that we regulate and test for, the reality points to our water as being a potential environmental cause to seriously look into.
https://www.ewg.org/interactive-maps/pfas_contamination/map/
Capitalism and the byproducts of the industrial revolution are driving chronic disease in a general sense, at the very least.
Gosh, I’ve read about the water situation in places like Michigan. It didn’t occur to me that parts of the USA have water that could be to blame. I should have said bread! Although that might trigger the gluten crowd.
It’s not just Michigan, not even close. I recommend looking up Status Coup News on YT to see Jordan Chariton’s reporting.
Here is a recent short (please ignore the AI voice, I guess it was an experiment for them): https://youtu.be/xsMJvO-fhxg
(https://youtu.be/MJ19Nzx-93w is the video it’s based on.)
That’s the latest crisis, there are many more that only they do reporting for - check the channel out. The EPA and mainstream media regularly cover up crises.
And in regards to bread, that’s probably toxic too. Our pesticides suck and our soil is also likely fairly toxic as well.
Though not completely widespread, contaminated sewage biosolids are used in agriculture to fertilize soil (see: https://www.ewg.org/news-insights/news/2025/01/forever-chemicals-sludge-may-taint-nearly-70-million-farmland-acres), and recycled black water may even be used for agricultural irrigation in some places. I doubt that the filtering is sufficient in even the best case scenarios for both practices.
The study isn’t necessarily bunk, but I wouldn’t trust him even as far I could throw him.
If you look at studies from the past decade you’ll find multiple, that are actually worth their salt with a high enough sample size, showing no changes in standard distribution of abnormalities. If you would like to post some studies proving your point that there is validity to this, please enlighten me. But the majority of OBs will continue to recommend Tylenol for pain relief in pregnant people.
This is a trial run for his vaccine bullshit. If he can get away with this, you can bet your ass he’s coming out with a “our study shows vaccine cause autism and SIDS in babies” and use that to halt vaccines. The man has told us who he is for decades and a high on heroin leopard, does not change his spots.
Do not try to give validity to his bullshit, unless you have well documented (multiple studies), large sample sizes, and over a significant amount of years studying the results. This kind of rhetoric is gonna be the thing that kills us, when he pulls the trigger on vaccines.
Well as long as we can blame women, that’s what’s really important. Remember moms, if your child is neurodivergent it’s entirely your fault you irresponsible hag.
This sounds like satire, as though this isn’t exactly what these people actually think.
100 years ago, when these people think was the ‘golden age’, women were actually blamed for their children’s issues. They blamed nearly everything on women. Yeah, let’s go back to that: MAGA women, how does that sound to you? Do you think you’re one of the good ones?
Let’s bring back lobotomies for women who have too many opinions, too. The world was better when only men were allowed to have opinions and women were the root of all evil, like the bible says.
One remembers the “refrigerator mothers” idea
Leonard’s mother in Big Bang Theory is based on this theory.
Although technically she should be Sheldon’s mother.
And Sheldon’s mother should be Howard’s mother. And he should be gay.
Oh god. I’d never heard of that. That was a thing, started by an asshole psychologist in the 1940s. Legit psychopathic mentality, wtf.
e: so the jist is that your kid is autistic because you suck at being a parent and are too ‘cold’. Imagine your’re doing everything you can, but the entire medical system is telling you it’s your fault for not caring enough. That’s the ultimate gaslighting. Because if you cared enough, your kid wouldn’t be this way.
e2: and reading more, they took kids away on this grounds. I feel so horrible for those parents. You had no recourse at all. You were doing your best, and your child had a medical issue, but based on the social symptoms of your child you were a ‘refrigerator mother’ so your kid was put in an orphanage. Wtf.
There were no autistic people before the 70s, of course 🙄
There were no planets before telescopes either.
No one ever looks at DuPont or 3M. Major producers of forever chemicals.
Which probably cause a variety of cancers, but not autism. The increased rates are almost entirely the result of better diagnosis criteria.
When JFK’s nephew hears 1 in 36 kids is diagnosed, his mind jumps to someone more disabled than his Aunt Rosemary after Walter Freeman was through with her.
But almost all of the increase in diagnoses is made up of people who have a favorite train livery, want their food to have a specific texture, and get pretty upset about the itchy tag in their shirts.
If you people aren’t upset over itchy tshirt tags, then y’all are the ones with a problem.
Everybody (I assume) gets annoyed by itchy tags. How annoyed by the tag helps a doctor determine if you get a diagnosis or not.
It’s not the tags, it’s the seams. Easily remedied by buying natural fibers and turning the shirts inside-out.
Now if we could only convince t-shirt makers to offer an “autistic print” option so the design is printed on the inside…
Fucking sock seams are hell. Socks are the worst fucking things ever because the seam is nearly always noticeable.
My shirts and underwear have no tags, just printed directly on the fabric.
