      Gift link! Excerpt:

      > Kirk Perry, the interim CEO of Tylenol maker Kenvue, had a private meeting with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. this week to deliver a message: There is no clear link between the drug and autism.

      > In a hastily scheduled meeting, Perry sought to dissuade the health secretary from including the over-the-counter medication as a potential cause in a coming report about the causes of autism, according to a person familiar with the matter.

      > The Wall Street Journal reported last week that Kennedy plans to cite the use of acetaminophen—the active ingredient in Tylenol—by pregnant women as a potential cause of autism in their children, among other potential causes. The autism report is expected from the Department of Health and Human Services later this month.

      > The news knocked Kenvue’s stock price down 9% in one day—and sparked concern among its leaders.

      They should sue, rfk jr has no evidence and is just making random bullshit proclamations

      Maybe that was the goal all along? Kind of like how Trump apparently wants to get rid of the pharmaceutical ads (unless of course the companies make generous donations).

      Well they had a whole narrative ready to go blaming vaccines but they got too much pushback, What was Kennedy supposed to do tell the truth or something?

      He did the most logical thing a man who is insane and has a brain full of parasite holes could do! He pivoted and just named the first drug he thought of besides heroin. BOOM! Autism solved!

      Watch… Tylenol will “donate” some ungodly sum of money to Trump’s presidential library, and the RFK Jr will say, “oops, it’s Advil that causes autism, not Tylenol”.

      Rinse and repeat.

      On the one hand, just more infuriating corruption. On the other hand, if Big Pharma has to „lobby“ for three more years to keep these maniacs from taking our vaccines away, then so be it.

      Ok, on one hand, the link between Tylenol and autism is clearly bullshit made up by RFK Jr. On the other hand, it’s also bullshit that a corporation can simply lobby enough money that if a real, fact based study was going to be released it could have been stopped.

      If there truly is an environmental cause to autism then i would think it has to be related to plastic. It has inundated every aspect of our lives, and is in or around every product. Maybe they have done studies on that, not sure

      No scientific evidence… 

      Just another way to make women suffer… forced childbearing and with no pain meds and no paid time off work… starvation or pain…. This was the old times way when many women died in childbirth…

      Making America Great Again?!?!

      Just to ground everyone, what’s basically happened here is that a painkiller that’s been on the market for 70 years, using an active ingredient that was discovered in 1878, has suddenly been linked to a neurological disorder by a man with no background in science or medicine and who has had parts of his brain eaten by a parasitic worm.

      If memory serves, J&J spun off their talc business to avoid massive judgements and that spinoff declared bankruptcy, thus reducing liability.

      Also, they delayed a known quality issue in 2010 so they could cover it up, including pulling all QA funding and selling either too weak or too strong Children’s Motrin and Tylenol.

      They did not offer a big enough bribe.

      That is how they pharmaceutical industry will survive. A cut for Brain Worm and a cut for Dementia Don.

      Should be completely illegal, but it goes on all of the time. Long before Donald and long after unless something changes. Money will change hands and things will change back, but ya.. it’s completely horrible.
      I have no idea if it’s safe or not, but all I can do is trust my doctor and move from there.

      >CEO of Tylenol Maker **paid** RFK Jr. Not to Cite Drug as Autism Cause in Report.

      Fixed that for ya, media.

      Tylenol manufacturer should sue but instead they’ll donate something or pay to renovate part of trumps plane and it’ll ll be good.

    35. lionheart4life on

      In a weird way, does this mean there could be some truth to RFK’s „research“ on this?

    36. Superb_Ad_4464 on

      How about the plastics in our food that pregnant women eat? Or the forever chemicals? We can’t figure out what causes some cancers but they think they will figure this out?

      The rich extorting the rich and yet the rest of us still end up the ones paying. On the positive side, it’s all downhill from here…
