"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 41 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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...

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 105 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

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 52 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] Forester@pawb.social 22 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

Imagine you are siri keeton.

[–] Pandoras_Can_Opener@mander.xyz 14 points 2 weeks 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

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

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 60 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (3 children)

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 48 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

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.

[–] Garbagio@lemmy.zip 17 points 2 weeks 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.

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.

Are we supposed to just forget?”

This isn't just the "maha" wing, every faction in the incredibly loose coalition that got trump elected is starting to get pissed he hasn't done whatever lie he sold them.

Midterms are going to be a route

[–] tenchiken@anarchist.nexus 37 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Don't threaten me with a good time... I've been hurt before

[–] iturnedintoanewt@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

I wouldn't be so optimistic. The Democrats are not making any of the good noises, and all they've shown is a silent contempt to people offering change like Mamdani. I think the majority of them still believe they need to offer the same things as the last election, and that they just need to improve the PR, make it louder. And i fear they'll deafly crash. Again.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Grab a progressive in your area and make them shine. We dont need the dems if they are just going to kick their feet and lose this. This has got to be extremely easy because nobody got shit except billionaires. Everyone else is worse off.

Imagine a super majority turn? Would be so crazy, I would love to see it for the MAGA influencer tears alone.

[–] elbarto777@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'll believe it when I see it. I've been disappointed three times already.

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 2 weeks ago

Cause this one isn't in Project 2025.

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

[–] Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 30 points 2 weeks ago

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

COINCIDENCE???????

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago

I love this so fucking much

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago

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

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

RFK is going to get Kirked.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Hopefully. Mans a danger to society.

[–] shads@lemy.lol 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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.

Lol. Probably going bananas because of Tylenol.

We didn’t wait 20 years for Bobby to finally speak and then get served [a different answer then the one we wanted]

FTFY.

You couldn’t make this shit up.

Beautiful. I love this so much.
