@Metal-Brain saidWe all already know that Trump lies.
Tylenol is denying it. Now that Trump has said that it does will the maker of Tylenol sue him for defamation? Or would that backfire on them?
Get a grip.
@Metal-Brain saidI think the bigger cause would be that the DSM standards were lowered from meeting 16 markers down to only having to meet eight of them.

@moonbus saidIncluding a measles epidemic that started in Texas and spread to New Mexico.
It's a mystery to me why RFK Jr. is so keen on autism, when there are several much more pressing, widespread, and dangerous public health issues--one might just mention heroin addiction ....
There are now cases popping up in Arizona and South Carolina.
So far, RJK Jr has done nothing about it.

@mike69 saidThe criteria have expanded to include milder cases which were previously undetected. The number of cases of severe autism is unchanged. Good grief, it’s not life threatening, like leukemia.

I think the answer is that someone stands to make a lot money marketing RFK Jr.’s snake oil remedy. That’s what is really driving this.
@moonbus saidIs what I said incorrect, your talking about things I never said.

@mike69 saidWhat I posted supplements what you said. The gist of which is: there is no dramatic rise in the number of actual cases of autism. The bar was lowered and more fish were caught in the net, to mix metaphors. So RFK Jr.’s hype is just that, hype over a statistical artifact.

@moonbus saidOk, would sue or any far left lib her say anything disagreeing with their party?

@Metal-Brain saidEvery bloody body is denying it.

It’s ridiculous.
@shavixmir saidOf course. Profits would suffer if they admitted it. Do you think vaccine makers are happy that another possible cause is taking the heat off of them?

Maybe Kennedy was just shaking down the vaccine makers for money and now he is giving them the relief they need in return for that money.
Kennedy was sued by the CHD that he founded.

Vaccines work.
Paracetemol during pregnancy does not cause autism… anywhere on thr spectrum.
As for the brain worms, the fat orange dicktator and everyone else in that whole debacle of moronity: shut up. Get some bloody medication.
And yes. Pharmaceutical companies profit enormously from their positions and proper political interference is needed to keep them balanced.
@shavixmir saidMost vaccines work. The covid vaccine is not even a real vaccine and it doesn't save lives in general.

This was necessary to get immunity from lawsuits because it kills more people than it saves.
