We’re moving toward a world where hazard trumps risk, where the presence of a chemical matters more than the dose, where “natural” automatically beats “synthetic” regardless of testing/oversight. This isn’t progress. It’s regression to a pre-scientific worldview where fear & marketing trump science.

Some circumcised boys get Tylenol for pain, and some are later diagnosed with autism—therefore, Tylenol causes autism?! That’s like saying umbrellas cause car accidents because both are more common on rainy days.

The mothers who were accused of causing their child's autism, the families who will have doubts now that this could be true, the children who think there is something wrong with them, the blatant lies & disrespect from the felon who used bone spurs as an excuse -- UNACCEPTABLE ON EVERY LEVEL.
The largest study to date, which analyzed 2.5 million children, found no increased likelihood when properly accounting for genetic factors. Autism is primarily genetic—established before birth through complex factors beyond anyone's control.
