So many resources have already been wasted debunking the link between autism and vaccines, now we gotta keep debunking autism being linked to Tylenol! Stop accusing random things of causing autism!

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

"Don't bother me with facts, my mind is made up." - MAGA
Tylenol is sold by a company with billions in assets. How the fuck are they taking this lying down?
There are probably people there making money from timing this shit too
Cucks gonna cuck.
He was just doing the stock market shimmy. That dude is corrupt to the core. He has no sense of others except when he smells someone he can bully.
It can only good happen
Fascists don't care about facts.
Tylenol is the only pain relief and fever reducer pregnant women can safely take during pregnancy.
So awesome these assholes caused more women and babies to suffer.
No idea why they didn’t sue.
That's a feature, not a bug to them.
That's the goal, not a feature. It's not like undercoating for your car. Women in America are socially, economically, and politically weaker as a direct result of this administration and the weakness of the opposition party. Not to mention the fact that the administration removed jobs dominated by women from being called professionals. Meaning less protection for women that actually want to have children. Your job is likely considered non-essential so no more job protection of you want to take leave for a baby.
Oh yes, cant forget to blame the Dems for all the atrocities and regressions of the Republicans, right?
That's the whole point of this. I'm sure they're already onto the the next thing, finding something helpful to women, pregnant or otherwise, and saying it causes autism
I wouldn't put it past Trump. He loves power and making people suffer. Plus likely loves abusing kids
My brother
Ayyyyyyyy
Dear Billionaire News Network: It's okay to not believe anything these assholes say. You don't need to wait for science to confirm it with multiple double-blind studies and thousands of hours of surveys and research. They're utterly incompetent, and everything they do is either illegal, or an embarrassing bad joke.
Seriously, stop giving them ANY due.
So you want the news to sane-wash Trump by not reporting the crazy shit he says?
I want the news to report the crazy shit he says AS crazy shit. Which it is. Always.
They report it, it's just no one reads it because the US has become a fascist society that promotes distrust of the free press.
The reporting uses incredibly loaded if not outright false language in order to minimize and sanewash anything conservatives do while at the same time inciting maximum outrage whenever a democrat breathes. Even NPR does this. Hell nyt just called a progressive that won a primary a left-wing insurgent in the headline. What the fuck is that shit?
They legitimize it. Tylenol has no credible studies linking it to autism, never has, still doesn’t, and trump is sowing distrust in bad faith and THEY SHOULD SAY THAT. They don’t. They repeat his loquacious flatulence verbatim and add a measly “CRITICS disagree” or some shit for “balance”. It’s pathetic. It’s wrong. It’s going to continue until they stop making money with it.
loquacious flatulence verbatim
You proud of that one?
It is the job of the education system to teach people science. The US is a failing country because of poor education. The media could certainly do better on science reporting, but it's not their job to teach science. The failure of the education system has resulted in the US becoming a fascist society where the free press is reporting facts until it inevitably get shut down by the fascists. You're a part of that, whether you know it or not.

Say what
He is shorting the stock right? Or did the CEO insult him or refuse to bribe him? There has got to be some super shitty, petty reason he is doing this.
It's a long time crusade from RFK. No need to short the stock or anything. RFK is just applying his dogma instead of real science and since he believes in bullshit, he will try to do everything he can to shut down science in favour of his beliefs. At this point the question is out on how many millions of deaths he will be responsible for with his policies, but it sure will be in the millions. He's an agent of death.
Trump is just a puppet.
RFK the plague bearer is the reason. Trump implicitly trusts the last person to speak to him about any given topic, as long as one out of every six sentences are naked praise.
Actual experts are unlikely to offer any praise, let alone once every six sentences.
So I've been taking all of this Tylenol for nothing?
The least surprising thing.
Why would anyone take this suggestion seriously? This guy wanted to inject disinfectant in people to cure their covid.
It's unclear, but it also seemed like he wanted to jam lightbulbs up our asses as well, for the same purpose.
Why would anyone take this suggestion seriously?
Well, look at the massive anti-vaxx movement which stemmed from a single, widely disproven study by some quack...and couple it with the people squirting horse paste up their asses during COVID
Can we call it paracetamol like the rest of the world does? 😁
Like, every time this comes up there's this urge to confirm. It was paracetamol, wasn't it? Right? Ah let's check again.
Acetaminophen ;)
Or that, yes. Fun to get so many downvotes but it would be far more enlightening to understand the reasoning. I mean what I said is objectively true.
I think because your original comment sounded a little elitist.
Thanks (seriously)!
That is something I can perfectly accept and understand. Autists statements often come across like that and I don't want to mask for these things.
Both names are a shortened form of the chemical's name: para-acetylaminophenol (or possibly a different name in the case of acetaminophen: N-acetyl-p-aminophenol)
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/acetaminophen
Yes, but one is a brand and not "free".
Edit: ah OK you didn't refer to Tylenol 😁
Americans hate the rest of the world, that's why you get down voted.
Ah, that would also be fine by me. 😁
