Why is RFK JR so obsessed with autism? (hexbear.net)

Why is this 70 year old guy so obsessed with something he knows nothing about? Why name Tylenol the "cause" of autism when he obviously wants to say its vaccines?

I get that the underlying goal of MAHA is eugenics, but I just don't get why or this angle. I haven't come across much really talking about it. Everything is focused on the fact that its obviously ridiculous that Tylenol (or anything) causes autism, but what is the obession with finding this nonexistent cause?

it's very weakly correlated in boys but not in girls and not in all children as a cohort or some shit. it's dumb on top of dumb, including that acetaminophen is really toxic for how weak it is.
