What education, qualifications, experience and/or expertise does this clown have? As far as I know, the only thing he knows about “pharma” would have come from his heroin use.
He said a bunch of shit that the country’s most fearful and illiterate people loved to hear, he validated the fringe conspiracy theorists which breeds a kind of obsessive love that you can’t buy with all the campaign money in the world, so Trump tapped him to keep pied-piper’ing the segments of rats who would vote for having a live porcupine stuffed down their pants if it meant validating the ONE topic that scares them the most. In this case, “mainstream science.”
Yeah, these are the sister-fuckers that BOOED their god-emperor Taco when he bragged about the vaccines (that he had next to nothing to do with - if anything we should be thanking Obama).
Because Taco is such a goddamned pussy, he backed off supporting the vaccines.

Nah it’s just he knows it doesn’t matter now. Nobody in the base he’s trying to hold onto looks into the past in any capacity. It’s done and over. It’s a new narrative now.
Trump and his “people” could start throwing babies in wood chippers on the white-house lawn today, and in 6 months they will say it never happened and their base will purge it from their memories like ballast and never revisit it. We are still underestimating how stupid a good 30% of the country is, and how moderately stupid the rest are.
The right is celebrating Trump and RFK Jr. right now. I wish we didn’t have so much “satisfaction porn” being circulated on social media highlighting how stupid Trump and RFK are, and showed more how unopposed they are. I swear a good 90% of the left in this country still thinks we’re scoring points and that any day now, it’s going to reach a point where someone is going to “do something.”
Someone diagnosed him as being ASD at some point in his life and he’s still mad about it because internalised ableism
Assuming autism is “caused” by something and there is an “increase” of cases (not just diagnosis). Shouldn’t we start checking on Monsanto and the pesticides before anything else? Why are they obsessed with vaccines and medications?
Is there really an increase in autism or increase in awareness of neurodivergent/autistic people? The increase in diagnosis doesn’t necessarily mean there’s an anctual increase of cases. You can’t measure anything if you don’t look for it in the first place.
This is a really important point. Diagnoses go up with each revision of the DSM (at least in the US, as it’s put out by the American Psychiatric Association) because the authors are intentionally making the criteria more expansive.
To be clear this is policy and guidance playing catch up with reality, and it still hasn’t caught all the way up.
Be wary of anyone conflating increases in rates of diagnoses with rates of occurrence, anybody talking about changes in rates of autism diagnoses that fails to speak to this is either being disingenuous or are themselves the victims of others disingenuity.
It’s like putting down mousetraps and then being surprised to find mice in them. The mousetraps don’t increase the number of mice (ideally they decrease them!) but they can change your perception of how many mice there are by increasing opportunities for exposure.
The increase in diagnosis doesn’t necessarily mean there’s an anctual increase of cases.
Everyone knows this but they are letting them re-write reality anyway. They did this with Covid, an actual lethal virus that killed over a million Americans. We may never know the actual death-count because of conservative administration efforts to decrease diagnosis numbers. And they were OPEN about this, and we didn’t march on DC then, so I don’t expect it’s going to get much better going forward.
Not to mention if you read how people who lived before modern medicine were described, you can guess if they were autistic or add. Not to mention the ones who were very low functioning were a secret kept at home or institutionalized.
Is there really an increase in autism or increase in awareness of neurodivergent/autistic people?
That’s exactly what the person you’re replying to meant by…
“increase” of cases (not just diagnosis).
I was deeply saddened in the midst of Covid when I realized that is actually a difficult topic for people to understand. I thought people watched Sesame Street growing up, I thought they could do things like “count” or understand that different kinds of numbers mean measurements of different things.
Nope. Most people are disconnected from anything deeper than the immediate narrative they’re fed. No matter their political affiliation or supposed values, people have just broadly turned off their capacity to reason things out.
I had a full-on mental-health episode when I realized how bad it was. I had people in my own family who complained endlessly about having to wear masks when they went out, and immediately ripped the masks off their faces when they came inside a house or store and only wore it outdoors. I couldn’t get some people to understand what a virus is on the most abstract level.
The lack of basic understanding how biology and other grade-school level understanding of the world works needs to be uncovered. We’re in a crisis. This level of ignorance we’ve allowed to develop will literally ruin the world. It’s already in progress.
I had to look twice to make sure it wasn’t The Onion. I pray to the god that doesnt exist that the world somehow recovers from this and people look back at this chapter of human history as the time we finally learned not to let fucking idiots be in charge…
Yeah, the age of the Non-Expert and the stupid people that think that’s a good thing.
Like the podcasters on Professional Left say, I want some of these assholes that vote for this shit (“because Taco is not a politician!”) to have their fucking teeth drilled by “not a dentist”.
FFS.
He will not make that link because it’s not there and literally nobody can.
He may, however, lie and be wrong.
easy solution here is for all republicans to get themselves sterilized.

doesn’t it take one pregnancy to prove this wrong? all you need is a mother of an autistic person who didn’t use Tylenol while pregnant.
They might just tell her she did use Tylenol while pregnant, she just forgot/took it without knowing.
Not really. A link doesn’t mean a necessary causation. It doesn’t have to be exclusively caused by tylenol. Skin cancer is linked to excessive sun exposure, but it can occur without it, and likewise, not everyone who is experiencing increased UV exposure gets skin cancer. Not every smoker gets lung cancer, not every lung cancer is caused by smoking (IIRC only 50% of lung cancer patients are smokers - it’s just that not 50% of people are smokers). But a certain risk factor increases the occurence of a disease.
I guess what you are thinking of would be comparable with FASD, a mother who has a child with fetal alcohol syndrome but never drank any alcohol during pregnancy would disprove the causation. My guess would be that this isn’t what they are going for but a vague “it increases the likelihood of the child developing autism”.
fair, but i expect much worse from this dipshit
Well, this is the worse scenario. If he goes down the “FASD route” it will be rather easy to debunk. An “increased risk” route will be much vaguer, more believable, and harder to disprove.
This might also go down the route of “if it wasn’t safe in the womb we should think twice about giving it to my baby who has a high fever” resulting in brain damage and death. (For the record: Fever is good, but high fever in babies is dangerous.)
This, then, adds up to “I didn’t give my baby tylenol when it had a fever, then it was hospitalized, they gave tylenol after all, now the kid has XYZ, it was the tylenol”.
That’s like saying driving drunk isn’t dangerous because one person got home fine.
what? not at all. your comparison would be appropriate if i said one pregnancy where the mother takes Tylenol but the kid doesn’t have autism

I link this worm infested brain dead twat to a very large piece of shit.
Brace yourself, folinic acid and acedomediphine are about to be politicized. I’m reading up before the noise is too loud:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folinic_acid
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paracetamol
And the pages are locked, if not defaced, lol.
Why will they be politicized?
Okay, so does that mean vaccines for everyone?
I mean, I can get behind giving everyone this false belief if it means they’d go out and get their families vaccinated. I’m not above weaponizing their stupidity to save their lives.
How far are we along with “autism is a genetic defect and we are now euthanizing defective humans for the benefit of society” are we?
His fixation on autism is super creepy.
Especially as a ‘disease,’ not a spectrum.
Not to belittle the effects on people of course.
How else are we supposed to make the pure superior American race? /s
This is crazy and is going to get so many more people hooked on opiates.
With the plethora of other NSAIDs, would opiates be the next recourse anyway?
I already tend to avoid acetaminophen since the others are better liver wise anyway.
Yeah. The liver part is why I also avoid it. Especially if you like to have a few drinks every once in a while
Maybe not relevant, but Tylenol (acetominophen) isn’t classified as an NSAID. Whatever, I see no reason to trust RFKj on any matter of health, medicine, or pharmaceuticals. The man is an uneducated crank who achieved his position in trade for asskissing.
If RFK Jr. Was born just one generation prior, his family would have disowned him and placed him in a mental institution. He benefitted from being born to a fairly liberal family.
Tell that to his sister Rosemary.
NSAIDs can’t be used in pregnancy
Most countries outside North America avoid NSAIDs because of liver damage. In 2025, I have no idea why NSAIDs are over-the-counter. But in countries that avoid acetominophen, they still have autism.
Acetaminophen is not an NSAID. They are OTC because they are overwhelmingly safe, in the directed dosages on the label.
I hope our pharma oligarchs put this trust fund silver spoon drug addict in his place.
Except its more likely ibuprofen that is possibility.
Thank you for being a real-world example for why people need to stay in school and get their High School diploma.
Those "report"s should be tagged fairytales
