"We didn’t wait 20 years for Bobby to finally speak and then get served Tylenol as an answer," anti-vaccine group Georgia Coalition for Vaccine Choice wrote in an unhinged Facebook post on Monday morning. "If that's all we hear - is that the end? Not thimerosal. Not aluminum. Not MMR. Not Hep B. Not the insane schedule pushed after pharma got liability protection. Are we supposed to just forget?"

Don't worry, next week the world's healthiest man will blame something else.

[-] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 43 points 1 week ago

The guy so healthy he bathes in sewer water just to bring himself to normal levels? Or the guy so healthy he had to pay off a doctor to come up with a condition so he wouldn't fight in the military because it would make others look bad?

Or the guy so healthy his liver needs to be depressed constantly for fear it would destroy him otherwise? Or...

"We wanted the wrong answer to be our wrong answer!"

[-] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 104 points 1 week ago

Somebody's uncomfortable at the thought of it being a genetic disorder, because that would mean losing the ability to blame someone else. I wonder how their children feel about their parents being like this.

[-] athairmor@lemmy.world 55 points 1 week ago

Imagine someone you love working so hard to find a reason for the way you are.

[-] Forester@pawb.social 23 points 1 week ago

Imagine that the parents are also autistic and in denial.....

Imagine you are siri keeton.

[-] Pandoras_Can_Opener@mander.xyz 16 points 1 week ago

There's a lot worse parents do to autistic children. This doesn't even register for me.

Johnson & Johnson is a giant corporation with billions of dollars and I don't think they're gonna take defamation about one of their biggest products well.

Wow, this is definitely not planned to sifon money from political activists.

It's planned to siphon money from the stock market

I love this conclusion.

On the one side, the Antivaxxers are pissed off. This alone is a great thing. Their hero and saint, their big hope basically bins them. Good.

On the other side, that Tylenol idea is easily debunkable. And I hope the brand owner Kenvue sues that administration to Kingdom Come for that. Autism is known since 1911, Tylenol is on the market since 1955. Even the dumbest of the MAGA-heads might notice that there is something wrong with that timeline.

[-] ragepaw@lemmy.ca 47 points 1 week ago

Paracetamol aka acetaminophen, has been around since the 1800s. Tylenol as a brand has only been around since 1955.

So while we all know this link is bullshit, the 1911 defence falls apart based on facts.

I think a better response is show me a peer reviewed study from actual researchers who follow actual scientific methodology and have not had to be retracted.

[-] Krudler@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

No. It was not developed until the 50's

[-] ragepaw@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days ago

Pretty confidently incorrect there.

For the cheap seats.

[-] Garbagio@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 week ago

I mean, it also falls apart when you consider leukemia is older than smokable tobacco, or that death by falling is older than airplanes, but still. No, Tylenol doesn't cause autism, but things being older than other things does not mean anything with regards to increased risk.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Pear reviewed, pear reviewed, I get my info from my apple.

[-] papertowels@mander.xyz 25 points 1 week ago

Autism is known since 1911, Tylenol is on the market since 1955.

I've seen that meme float around a LOT, and it's faulty.

Let's sharpen our thinking in-house first before we argue versus conservatives.

There's a big difference between "the rapid growth of autism cases is lead by Tylenol usage" and "autism is caused single-handedly by Tylenol"

You can bet every conservative who drinks the Kool aid will say that rfk is claiming the former, which isn't disproved by Tylenol being invented after autism cases.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

That's why there's no autism in the rest of the planet. No Tylenol. We just use paracetamol, which is perfectly safe.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 67 points 1 week ago

My mom took an advil in 1982 and now I’m a gay liberal retard.

[-] notsosure@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 week ago

Congrats on finally coming out!

[-] Squirrelanna 11 points 1 week ago

We're called Tylenol-Americans.

SMH my head how could Reagan's Dementia do this???

[-] Bubbaonthebeach@lemmy.ca 40 points 1 week ago

They are just trying to determine exactly how gullible their anti-vax supporters are. So far they have believed every far flung conspiracy possible, why not this one?

[-] PotatoLibre@feddit.it 6 points 1 week ago

Cause this one isn't in Project 2025.

[-] Denjin@feddit.uk 4 points 1 week ago

Even conspiracy theories that are the exact opposite of the last conspiracy theory go by completely unchallenged.

[-] Cevilia 31 points 1 week ago

Everyone who has autism, every single person, breathes air.

COINCIDENCE???????

The problem with appealing to the crazies, is that there's always someone crazier.

[-] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

I love this so fucking much

[-] woelkchen@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

If the guy whose brain was half eaten by a worm said it's Tylenol, he must be right.

[-] JamesBoeing737MAX@sopuli.xyz 16 points 1 week ago

Yay, it's definitely the oppressed minority, who had their brain destroyed, not the chronic smoker voiced brainwormer. We'll see how many rights we (the autistics all over the world) retain in the next few years.

[-] skisnow@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 week ago

Given how much of the QAnon-MAGA axis is rooted in trolling, this is entirely unsurprising.

[-] DegenerationIP@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Lol. Probably going bananas because of Tylenol.

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago

WHEN IT WAS BANANAS THE WHOLE TIME.

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 week ago

RFK is going to get Kirked.

Hopefully. Mans a danger to society.

[-] shads@lemy.lol 5 points 1 week ago

Your going to talk about that happening to a KENNEDY and use some peasants name as the codeword. Its family tradition, especially if people spend the next half century or more speculating the CIA was involved.

He's heading for a Kennedy, not a Kirk.

[-] lime@feddit.nu 5 points 1 week ago

with the worm in there, the chance that his head just... does that is higher than average.
