The whole „do research to get rich“ thing was pure projection.
For someone, that was $150,000 extremely well spent
I really am in the wrong field. I’m great at lying. Grown men have came up to me … with tears in their eyes … and said (etc)
Fun Facts: Autism was discovered in 1911 and Tylenol was invented in 1950. Release the Epstein files.
I blame that crazy nut who put poison in the Tylenol back in the 80s.
That guy will stop at nothing to hurt Tylenol!!!
Funnily enough, this is *exactly* how the ‚vaccines cause autism‘ thing started to begin with. Anyone curious should go watch the Hbomberguy video on how Andrew Wakefield made shit up because he was being paid to find evidence.
Of course they did. Shady undisclosed payments are the same reason Andrew Wakefield falsified the vaccine data that started all this bullshit.
That’s a fucken bargain.
McNeil needs to sue that scientist for 101.5 million.
What? An „scientist“ who would make up shit just for money? Seems that they aren’t immune from corruption, huh? There’s a lot of money these days in making up stuff that can’t be supported by science…
Fun fact… there is a science-oriented web site dedicated to research that has been subjected to retraction for fake data, unfounded conclusions, and other scientific misconduct. It’s called [Retraction Watch](https://retractionwatch.com/) – created by [The Center for Scientific Integrity](https://centerforscientificintegrity.org/). Worth a look, when there are so many „scientists“ these days selling out to politics and publication counts…
Happily, even in these days of government-promoted scientific malfeasance, that there are still some folks interested in the truth that’s out there.
This dude is faculty at Harvard.
So the next time someone tries to make you feel small by saying, „I went to a little college called Harvard, maybe you’ve heard of it?“ You can be like, „Oh, the school with the Tylenol-causes-autism guy!“
I wonder if he will be sued for 1000x that little stipend?
I’m not surprised about bribes, I’m surprised by how shockingly small they are for what they do. I’m just saying if I were a sellout I’d do it for a lot more than a six figure sum.
„Scientist“
„Evidence“
Just. Why. Is it purely to tank J&J stock?
Look how many attorneys fought for him and lost their licenses or were fined. Doctors will line up to enter the meat grinder for notoriety or cash as well. Be mindful.
The thing that has ALWAYS upset me about open corruption and lobbying is just how fucking cheap it is. $150k is absolutely peanuts. If you want me to sell myself out, the first letter of the order of magnitude for the amount you’re paying me better start with a B.
Thats it?
Figured a soul would be at least 8 figures.
Wow. His bribe was three times the one Homan accepted!
That $150k won’t cover lawyers fees when they are sued
$150K to sign off on dangerous misinformation. This is why people don’t trust scientists anymore. Anything for a quick buck.
So class action lawsuit again for J&J? There are lots of autistic kids
150k to flush your reputation down the drain. Hope it was worth it lol.
Trump must have ibuprofen stock
I feel like people definitely going to misinterpret this title..
This guy was used as a citation in the WH’s claim that Tylenol causes autism. He also an expert witness in a case against Tylenol in 2023, where he made similar assertions about Tylenol’s alleged link to autism. He was paid $150K to be an expert witness on this case.
The title of this post makes it seem like the Trump Administration bribed him to make some „official“ claim for their announcement, yesterday.
Obviously, this whole situation is absurd, and there is no link between Tylenol use by pregnant woman and autism, but this is one of the most misleading titles/articles I’ve seen in a while.
Trump and RFK are fucking morons. We don’t need to post shit like this to try to dupe people into believing that fact. We don’t need to write headlines like this to prove something can can be proved by simply listening to them talk
He sold out for only $150k? Gross
Johnson & Johnson seriously needs to sue “Little Hands” TACO for $10 trillion defamation lawsuit!!
Release all the trump Epstein files!!!
Excerpt: The Harvard academic Andrea Baccarelli gave an ‘unreliable’ testimony on the links between autism and paracetamol, and produced research that raises ‘serious concerns about bias’
President Trump’s claim that pregnant women can give babies autism by using Tylenol is partly based on a study by a scientist who was previously paid $150,000 to give expert evidence in a claim against the drug’s manufacturers.
Last month Dr Andrea Baccarelli, a senior public health academic at Harvard University, co-authored a review that linked acetaminophen — the active ingredient used in Tylenol — to autism and warned that pregnant women should “limit” their consumption of the drug.
During a press conference on Monday, Dr Marty Makary, commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, cited [Baccarelli’s study](https://ehjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12940-025-01208-0) — along with two others — as justification for officially advising pregnant women against taking Tylenol. Makary said Baccarelli’s review “found the overwhelming body of evidence points to an association” and quoted the Harvard academic directly as saying: “We cannot wait any longer.”
Identify a problem (autism) and peddle a fake cure (avoid Tylenol).
Identify a problem (inflation) and peddle a fake cure (tarrifs).
Identify a problem (crime) and peddle a fake cure (deport immigrants).
Identify a problem (political violence) and peddle a fake cure (ban ‘antifa’).
It’s a common pattern. We are in it. I have to think it is only working because so many people are frightened of the future and embracing lies to soothe themselves.
Johnson & Johnson, the makers of Tylenol are a multi billion dollar company. Think of the lawsuits that could/will be filed against these nitwits. The pillow guy lost everything defaming Dominion.
That’s it? A mere 150k?
That’s called a “shill.”
That’s only 3 bags of cash. Right Tom??
He made this claim for a measly $150k?
To a nation.
What a cheap-ass sell out.
Part of me feels that it was inevitable. Generations buffered from the affects of past geopolitical calamities failed to develop belief in the principles that originally made their countries great.
Quid pro quo
Latin meaning
This for that
Shit, I can make passable evidence against acetaminophen for $150k.
For 150k? These guys have no self esteem. For a hoax like this, he could have demanded 15 million.
