    1. Flimsy is being polite. But MAGA knows where we all work so we don’t offend them too much.

      I’m so ready for the lawsuit from Tylenol! Sue this administration for everything they’re worth and drag them into court!!

      The particularly fucking stupid thing about this – if the mother gets a high enough fever, not using acetaminophen to reduce that fever could fucking kill the baby.

      Interestingly, there are several medical studies showing that untreated fever during pregnancy, particularly in second trimester, significantly increases autism risk. So by making pregnant women afraid to control their fever with Tylenol, autism rates could actually increase

      So how long will it be before women are prosecuted for taking acetaminophen if their child turns out to be autistic? What the hell did I just watch, his stupid announcement and telling them to “tough it out”? I’m screaming into my pillow.

    6. I don’t believe the report that links Tylenol to autism, but I do believe the report that links Trump to Epstein.

    7. As an autistic person, this is giving me a great deal of anxiety. Thankfully I’ve got a new coping strategy called RELEASING THE FUCKING EPSTEIN FILES!

      Stop using my fun-brained homies as a smokescreen.

    8. This is another potential „reason“ for a national pregnancy registry. The Party of Pedos wants to control everything surrounding women and prenatal care.

      This is meant to further their agenda that „women are evil“ and that they can’t be trusted to make decisions for themselves or for their unborn children.

      Autism isn’t a disease, it’s a neurotype. You don’t just „get“ Autism, it’s part of you. These chucklefucks aren’t even having the right conversation.

      IF acetaminophen is the problem WHY say Tylenol? I hope Tylenol sues him for $15B.

      Oh, and release the un-redacted Epstein files

    11. Interesting_Low_3765 on

      Autism was diagnosed in the 40s. Acetaminophen wasn’t released until the 50s, the math isn’t mathing.

      It’s not even flimsy. RFK, who has zero training, experience or knowledge of medicine or science, is simply making it up.

      Not one single thing that plagues the American people has gotten better since our American media handed trump the keys to the American Gov’t again.

      He is not a doctor and needs to stfu about Tylenol.

      This is the same guy who promoted bleach, horse dewormer and wanted us to shove uv lights up our asses.

      And I’m not kink shaming!

      Fun fact. 100% of people who have died in human history have drank water at some point in their lives.

      Water obviously causes people to die so people should stop drinking water if they want to live.

      /s just in case

    16. Has anyone looked into water as the culprit? 100% of kids with autism drink water. Their mothers drank water while they were pregnant. Big Water wants to cover this up. We should all stop drinking water.

    17. „Shares of Kenvue Inc. fell 7.5% in trading Monday, reducing the company’s market value by about $2.6 billion. Tylenol’s original manufacturer, Johnson & Johnson, spun off the best-selling brand in 2023. In addition to Tylenol, acetaminophen is used in hundreds of other over-the-counter cold and flu formulas.“

      That last sentence is interesting.

      >For example, fever itself is already known to be a risk factor for autism and other neurodevelopmental problems in fetuses. If a pregnant person took Tylenol to treat their fever, an observational study would struggle to differentiate between whether the pain medication or the fever contributed to a child being born with autism

      It’s actually possible that the link found is because mothers didn’t take enough Tylenol during pregnancy. The fever is the cause, and if you just took a little bit of Tylenol, you increase the risk for autism. Because of the fever.

      It’s likely way more complicated, but just showing how you can use stats to say whatever you feel like.

    19. Too bad no one will ever fund researching whether the wide spread use of animal growth hormones in big agriculture might have some effect on human fetal development. I mean, anything except looking at the massive changes that have been made to our diet over the last half a century!

    20. There are different motivations for Trump and RFK. RFK knows how to manipulate Trump by letting him claim he’s cured autism. The press conference and ratings are all Trump cares about. RFK gets him ratings by generating controversy.

      RFK is a dyed in the wool crackpot, though. He believes the whole world is a giant conspiracy theory of major corporations, big medicine, paid off scientists and pharmaceutical companies. RFK needs to get the public to agree with him that vaccines are killing everyone and if he can’t get everyone, he’ll settle for the 32% of MAGA followers. Watch what happens – first it Tylenol but then it’ll be the co-morbidity of mixing vaccines with Tylenol. It won’t end here.

    21. This reminds me of the idiots that did studies like 50+ years ago trying to prove that there was something in gum that was causing cancer because there was a strong correlation to gum use and increased cancer risk later on in life.

      As soon as some smarter people did additional studies that controlled for confounding factors they found that there was in fact 0 increased risk of cancer. What they found was that when they controlled for smoking (stop comparing smokers from the gum group against non smokers in the non gum group) there was no longer a correlation. Because, duh, smokers are more likely to chew gum. Once they separated those out they found the actual cause for the cancer incidence increase, smoking.

      So here, if you compare mothers that don’t take Tylenol at all during their pregnancy versus mothers that do, you’re going to, naturally, compare mothers that got sick or had a high fever while pregnant with mothers that didn’t.

      Wanna know something that increases birth defects during pregnancy? Getting sick and having a high fever…

      Sadly this isn’t even that bad for these guys. This is confusing enough to be misunderstood even by some scientists so I wouldn’t expect this administration to understand that level of scientific nuance. But the root problem here is the same as it always is, and it’s that these bozos think they know more than doctors and scientists that actually study this stuff.

    22. Autism was first diagnosed in 1943 (existed a lot longer of course). Tylenol was brought to market in 1955. Huh.

    23. Just wait: Tylenol’s gonna pay Trump $10M, and he’s gonna come out next week saying that actually it’s Advil that causes autism.

    24. I drove by a cow field earlier today, I saw a bull giving a full and very detailed explanation of the evidence they’re citing while he was grazing

    25. DrRockBoognish on

      So they are against Tylenol now? Does that mean vaccines are good again? Make Vaccines Great Again!

    26. Honky_Stonk_Man on

      There are BILLIONS of chemical processes that occur during a pregnancy. We have only started figuring out how different combinations of chemicals, hormones, and dna work together. Singling out a singular link like this is not only absurd, is simplistic bullshit. Science has long linked certain things (smoking, lung cancer) together through only a basic causation relationship and it took several decades to actually have hard evidence with exactly WHAT those factors were. A person is made up of so much unexamined data with what they eat, what the make up of those nutrients how and how they interact, and the effect they have, it is fucking stupid how dumb this is. Johnson and Johnson should sue immediately. Their product is already linked to a diagnosis that they will struggle to reverse public opinion on.

    27. LeatheretteCandle on

      Like many studies, the ones that showed the spurious connection between paracetamol and autism didn’t have enough controls in place. Once you account for things like the age of the parents the observed increase in rate sharply drops, when you include other really basic controls to a study it disappears. 

      It’s like when they said red wine was good for you. It was a shit study because they didn’t account for the basics like socioeconomic background. Because it turns out (big surprise) rich people have better health care

      I would imagine Tylenol’s lawyers are salivating at the billing hours they are about to rake in.

    29. thatirishguyyyyy on

      Interestingly, if you go over to the conservative sub even they’re complaining about this. Granted, they are complaining in very small subsets, but some of them are complaining.

    30. So I expect the apology for 30 years of blaming vaccines will be coming soon then

    31. SaltpeterSal on

      Don’t fall in the trap of thinking they’re dumb. They have real science, which shows a large overlap between autism and gender dysphoria. If they can start a medical ’solution‘ for the autism ‚fever‘, they can do it for trans people, starting with their autistic overrepresentation. This is a Holocaust strategy.

    32. This is just a way to blame women, in case that wasn’t dead fucking obvious to anyone.

      Congratulations on setting the federal government up for a massive defamation lawsuit.

    34. Dizzy-Armadillo9055 on

      New York University bioethicist Art Caplan said it was “the saddest display of a lack of evidence, rumors, recycling old myths, lousy advice, outright lies, and dangerous advice I have ever witnessed by anyone in authority.”

    35. The fact that they’re saying the brand name Tylenol which isn’t anything other than a name rather than saying the actual chemical compound is all too telling of how biased this situation is.

      Take medical advice from the guy who said to inject bleach and shine a UV light up your ass?

      Don’t mind if I don’t.
