    The was quite literally the playbook of Andrew Wakefield when he published the 1998 fraudulent paper in the Lancet that purported to link MMR vaccines to autism, kicking off our entire modern round of anti-vax nonsense.

    He stood to make millions selling test kits to people suddenly fearful of vaccination, IIRC. They’re all scum, seeking to rake in money on the very fears they’ve stoked.

    Finally we are seeing real American healthcare. This was never about healing or helping people and this is the real reason why we make so much drugs.

    Could have been worse, like realizing it’s genetic and issuing mandatory sterilizations to both the autistic people and their parents.

    Everyone knows we’re not coming back from this, right?

    Pandora’s Box is open. Cat is out of the bag. Genie is out of the bottle.

    Bury all these fucks 6 feet under and it’s still already too late. The institutions have been weakened. Brains have been rotted. Copycats will step up to fill the vacuum. Congress is still infected. It’s over.

    It’ll be like the end of Return of The King. It’ll take a while, but it’s still the ending.

    So are they going to ban Tylenol or what? Isn’t it one of the most common OTC painkillers?

      Moving forward, the CDC will merely advise against pregnant mother’s taking acetaminophen. Dumb, but not the bog deal many are making it out to be. The antivax shit is 10,000 times worse.

    It’s like they’re trying to be fascists but they’re so bad at it. All they can do is run around and jerk each other off while telling their goons to go harrass minorities

    Excellent news. Autism finally squared away. We can dedicate our scientists to finding a cure for trumpism.

    I keep forgetting to comment this, but does anyone else remember RFK jr setting a September deadline for “curing Autism”? Like, I remember it being a big deal at the time because that’s not really how science works. Right wingers tried to contrast it with Biden claiming he would find a cure for cancer, but he didn’t set himself an arbitrary deadline to make that happen.

    How suspicious is it that he nailed his deadline window for discovering the “cause” and now has a bogus cure in the chamber as well? Nevermind the fact that they don’t provide any actual evidence of any of these claims.
