It’s obviously something that the man (let’s face it, probably is) at the top of the company that makes Tylenol has done to piss Donald off and this is his petty revenge

Oh, hadn't thought of that. You might be right, but surely they will sue the fuck out of him?

What is this about? I dont watch the news but am autistic. Is he making weird claims?

Yes. He is saying that autism is caused by the use of paracetamol in pregnancy. He also seemed to be saying that people shouldn't give paracetamol to small children. And suggesting that vaccines may also play a part.

And he claims that there is no autism in the Amish community or in Cuba.

They announced that they were going to find "the cause of autism" by September back in April...

Clearly, they are clutching at straws to say they've done it. I'm amazed he's not blaming it on vaccines tbh.

Oh no, just seen him saying something incomprehensible about vaccines too.

RFK Jr leans over a long desk flanked by other cabinet members.

RFK Jr pledges to find the cause of autism 'by September'

Autism researchers and experts call the effort, which is short on detail, misguided and unrealistic.

I have found it curious that the Trump administration is referring to a specific brand name (Tylenol), not the American generic name (Acetaminophen).

Has Johnson & Johnson done something to piss Trump off? Maybe they’ve not raised their overseas drugs prices enough for him?

@BeHappySloth
As was pointed out on another thread he was voted in by a majority of voters in America who thought he was the right choice. The Democrats must bear some of the blame.

Imaginariums · 22/09/2025 22:06

I wonder if he will get sued. So many women are going to listen to him, that’s the scary thing.

I look forward to al the big Pharma companies suing the shit out of Trump for this absolute batshit nonsense. The legal potential for all this is very significant, how did his team allow this?

Edited

Well, quite.

Batshit. Seriously.

YouMightThinkThat · 22/09/2025 22:04

Was just thinking that. I hope his fat orange arse gets sued until his piles bleed.

He's an embarrassment to humanity. His demise can't come soon enough.

I agree, but how was this man allowed to become the most powerful person on the planet?
