Okay, so does that mean vaccines for everyone?
I mean, I can get behind giving everyone this false belief if it means they’d go out and get their families vaccinated. I’m not above weaponizing their stupidity to save their lives.
Wait, I thouht it was vaccines.
Wow, autism turns out to be not only bad but also women’s fault. Amazing what an investigation under the impartial leadership of misogynist neo-Nazis can discover.
Can we be sure he doesn’t actually have some kind of disability that makes him so stupid? I mean, he had a fucking worm eat some of his brain; that had to have had an effect.
And we have linked your erratic behavior to a brain worm.
Something tells me the brain worm made less difference than it should. This guy’s mind was already half eaten.
More distractions…
Damn I didn’t think brain trauma was inherited from uncles
For fucks sake, someone please stop this brain-worm-demented menace. He’s gonna kill so many people.
Well as long as we can blame women, that’s what’s really important. Remember moms, if your child is neurodivergent it’s entirely your fault you irresponsible hag.
you irresponsible hag.
This sounds like satire, as though this isn’t exactly what these people actually think.
100 years ago, when these people think was the ‘golden age’, women were actually blamed for their children’s issues. They blamed nearly everything on women. Yeah, let’s go back to that: MAGA women, how does that sound to you? Do you think you’re one of the good ones?
Let’s bring back lobotomies for women who have too many opinions, too. The world was better when only men were allowed to have opinions and women were the root of all evil, like the bible says.
One remembers the “refrigerator mothers” idea
Leonard’s mother in Big Bang Theory is based on this theory.
Although technically she should be Sheldon’s mother.
And Sheldon’s mother should be Howard’s mother. And he should be gay.
Oh god. I’d never heard of that. That was a thing, started by an asshole psychologist in the 1940s. Legit psychopathic mentality, wtf.
e: so the jist is that your kid is autistic because you suck at being a parent and are too ‘cold’. Imagine your’re doing everything you can, but the entire medical system is telling you it’s your fault for not caring enough. That’s the ultimate gaslighting. Because if you cared enough, your kid wouldn’t be this way.
e2: and reading more, they took kids away on this grounds. I feel so horrible for those parents. You had no recourse at all. You were doing your best, and your child had a medical issue, but based on the social symptoms of your child you were a ‘refrigerator mother’ so your kid was put in an orphanage. Wtf.
And I’m sure the orphanage cured the symptoms? 🤦♂️
I guess they’re ‘cured’, if you mean ‘dead and buried in mass unmarked graves’. e: they don’t have those symptoms anymore.
This sounds like satire, as though this isn’t exactly what these people actually think.
It still happens today.
I just had a baby. You’ve no idea how many times we were told “Good/Great Job Mom” after hearing the baby is healthy, and seeing it isn’t deformed.
As if an illness would be my wife’s fault.
We just left those on read. Like WTF?
My wife had cancer young and it caused her to be unable to nurse our children; she just couldn’t produce enough and so we bottle fed our kids. It’s been over 10 years but she still gets shit on for it by certain types (including some in my own family who remind us whenever they get a cold). She is so goddamned, rightfully angry with the types who try to shame people for not breastfeeding.
Those types are in charge of policy right now.
Why not some raw milk, tho?
/s
So my wife who can’t take Tylenol yet my son is on the spectrum, I am doubting this finding.
She must have been sneaking them when you weren’t looking. /s
You should control your woman so she can’t get away with this. You know better than her. Did she goto college or something and get infected by DEI?
Oh my god yes of course this is /s
Oh God it’s the woke again! Please help! Woke got me
I found this particularly funny due to your username. I can totally see Dukat saying that lol.
Dukat has many statues celebrating what he has done for the bajoran people. If he doesn’t, he should have
Too late! Off to the camps with ya!
Anecdotal. However RFK jr. has even less evidence. sigh.
I’m gonna need to see more than one peer-reviewed study before believing anything coming out of this administration.
Here’s a few, not sure if they’re peer-reviewed but one is a meta-analysis. Important to note which journals these are published in, since less reputable journals will happily publish a lawsuit-seeking falsified study in exchange for money.
Anyway I haven’t read these, here you go:
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6138494/
In conclusion, on the basis of these studies, only weak associations between paracetamol exposure and neurodevelopmental issues have been identified, and no causal link can be inferred.
2018 The British Pharmacological Society
https://academic.oup.com/aje/article-abstract/187/8/1817/4980325
Acetaminophen use during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk for ADHD, ASD, and hyperactivity symptoms. These findings are concerning; however, results should be interpreted with caution given that the available evidence consists of observational studies and is susceptible to several potential sources of bias.
- Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6822099/
Cord biomarkers of fetal exposure to acetaminophen were associated with significantly increased risk of childhood ADHD and ASD in a dose-response fashion. Our findings support previous studies regarding the association between prenatal and perinatal acetaminophen exposure and childhood neurodevelopmental risk and warrant additional investigations.
2019 American Medical Association
Okay yeah now I’m concerned.
Okay yeah now I’m concerned.
This is the problem with access to papers on the internet to non-scientist. Epidemiology is a weak science, with correlations only, and huge amounts of hand waiving that is almost always wrong.
Note that this shit study did not ask why the mothers were taking acetominophen. Sample size is very low. No actual mechanism was even looked at. We piss away so much money on these studies, and if the data is negative, it is very difficult to publish, so they p-hack the data to see an effect, for more papers, for more funding.
Here’s the problem with this stupid hypothesis:
In 1982, seven people were killed from tainted tylenol bottles in Chicago, this led to an immediate halt of use nationwide and the recall of 31 million bottles. Tylenol sales dipped for YEARS. Less autism? NO.
Also, while North Americans eat these pills like candy for any stupid reason, many countries, like Germany, Switzerland and Austria avoid them because of liver toxicity. No difference in autism rates.
What? No paracetamol in Germany? It’s over the counter.
Okay yeah now I’m concerned.
The sum of those studies is effectively little to nothing. We all know that correlation is not causation and these correlations are weak and logically problematic.
Instead, take a look at this one, which not only hypothesizes a cause, but used that hypothesis to form a treatment that worked so well it seemed almost miraculous.
Three weeks ago (interesting timing), meta study:
Our analyses using the Navigation Guide thus support evidence consistent with an association between acetaminophen exposure during pregnancy and increased incidence of NDDs. Appropriate and immediate steps should be taken to advise pregnant women to limit acetaminophen consumption to protect their offspring’s neurodevelopment.
https://ehjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12940-025-01208-0
The problem with these studies is they are difficult to publish with negative data, and then meta analysis is done on a biased dataset.
There are many countries that avoid all analgesics because they have better health care professionals who acknowledge the fact that these drugs are the main reason for liver damage. But, USA is always isoated in their analysis.
This is the worst game of mad libs ever
RFK consulting his expert
Microwaved Mel Gibson.
Worm logic.
So “not vaccines” then. Am I hearing that right?
