Does anyone else think the idiot's "Tylenol causes autism" nonsense

[mcar]

is another way to blame and marginalize women?

[D_Master81]

1. I honestly thought

Some maker of Tylenol must’ve not paid him off or criticized him on social media

[mcar]

2. He apparently mentioned Advil and Motrin

which are not acetaminophen. So he may be trying to get them to pony up for the "ballroom"

I still think they just want to blame us dumbass females for harming our unborn!!11

[Mz Pip]

7. IIRC Motrin and aspirin are blood thinners

and are avoided for that reason. Doesn’t have anything to do with autism.

[Walleye]

26. That's it his kickback wasn't high enough. He couldn't even pronounce the word acetaminophn

Also, he’s telling women to suffer more pain. If that’s not punishing women, I don’t know what is.

[spanone]

3. I'll bet fox is peddling this as 'truth'

[hamsterjill]

4. I think Baron is autistic and Trump

Can’t stand it and is looking for someone to blame.

I think this is part of the war on vaccines, too.

Just my gut. And my gut is rarely wrong.

[murielm99]

14. I agree.

And there are many high functioning autistic people.

[hamsterjill]

18. There most assuredly are, and it's nothing to be ashamed of.

But Trump is ashamed that his child wasn't "perfect" in his eyes.

It's all as stupid as the fact that he decided to run for President after Obama humiliated him at the White House Press Correspondent's Dinner. Childish and foolish. He's a big, spoiled rotten child who can't do anything but throw tantrums.

[Walleye]

27. So Melania must know that he blames her

[hamsterjill]

50. I would expect that's correct.

If my theory is true, I think Trump would do just about ANYTHING to get the "blame" off of himself and on to someone/something else. He can't stand the thought that someone with HIS genes might not be perfect. And I've already mentioned in an up-post that *I* don't think people with autism are any less perfect than the rest of us. We all have our issues, etc.

It's just Trump's perception of his "perfect" little world. He can't handle disappointment because he's never had to. He's used to getting his way like a spoiled rotten brat, and he's always succeeded in pushing the blame on someone else for anything he can't accept. I'm not sure the world at large would agree that he's succeeded, but Trump just believes what he wants, pats himself on the back, and goes on.

It's time this aged, orange, spoiled rotten brat LEARNED a thing or two.

[Walleye]

54. Yes, I believe I'm on the spectrum. My brothers don't wanna believe it, but my father was a little bit OCD.

He showed some of the classic symptoms. I understand it runs in families. Me not OCD probably the opposite.
I swear to God I’ve never wished anybody to get sick before Trump needs a taste of real humanity.

[hamsterjill]

55. I totally understand.

I have to look myself in the mirror a lot and ask "do I really HATE him". I try not to hate, but I see him as a threat to myself, but more importantly, I see him as a threat to my family. And a saint, I ain't.

[Wiz Imp]

5. I just read that this may be of part a stock scheme

Apparently there was extremely unusual significant activity on Kenvue's stock in the past week. Kenvue is the maker of Tylenol. Seems some people had some inside information about this announcement. It appears some people are going to make a lot of money off of this

[MorbidButterflyTat]

6. Now THAT makes complete sense.

Greedy dirty bastard and all his evil cabal.

[mcar]

10. Huh

[Wiz Imp]

12. I don't understand how it would work but people who do

Assure me it looks very suspicious

[Native]

20. just about every one of his "decisions" has enabled people to benefit stock wise.

[GusBob]

33. A quick check shows from Sept 4th a slide in price

what happened on 9/4?

[Wifes husband]

42. I wish it was that simple

I am sure some people in this administration are playing the market, but basically I believe this idiot is just pulling all of this out of his ass

[karynnj]

8. Yes

I think Tylenol is the pain medicine that would be recommended for pregnant woman. ( It was 30 plus years ago). who develop a fever. An unchecked fever could be a problem for both the mother and fetus.

As children grow some percent of them will be diagnosed with autism. If the mother had, any time in the 9 months carrying the baby had taken Tylenol, they may wonder if they caused the baby's autism.

This even though there is NO proof behind that link.

[Walleye]

29. Yes, so not only make pregnant women suffer pain, make mothers suffer guilt

He just doesn’t begin to understand the guilt trip. He’s laying on mothers here.

[karynnj]

38. Or he believes it IS the mother's fault

He likely does not have the empathy to understand how difficult both pregnancy and the joyful but hard first months of taking care of a new born are.

I remember how unexpectedly I felt completely inept when my first child was born. Fortunately, I had my mom, mother of 9, to call every time something worried me. However, the best thing she told me was how she had felt the same. This from my mom who always seemed to be able to do everything, kids, work etc, extremely well and presumably effortlessly

I was fortunate to have easy, healthy babies. Yet I remember my fear that any mistake could "break" my first baby. Now, seeing my daughter care for her one month old son, I see how hard it really is to care for a newborn.

[Walleye]

40. Very few men understand what women really go through. Because they don't want to they don't wanna know.

[NJCher]

34. This thread

Posted about 5” after this one, has a quote which explains how he thinks that vaccines cause autism and how he and Melania had vaccines administered for Barron.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1016414075

However, it makes no sense. I’ll bet WizImp is right—connected to a stock scam. He’s going to milk this for every penny he can because he knows he’s out of time. Guess he forgot about those heaven plans.

[mcar]

46. Interesting. Thanks.

[Heidi]

52. He's saying that WOMEN CAUSE AUTISM. (nt)

[karynnj]

53. Maybe because being a 59 year old father COULD

be a factor and he accepts "blame" for nothing. (Blame in quotes as there should be no blame for anything not purposely done. )

[Sparkly]

9. I think it's another way to invoke the 25th Amendment

because this president is dangerously incompetent.

He was a danger when he appointed his incompetent cabinet, and when he ran for office. Ergo, the people who voted for him - and still support him - are a danger, to themselves and to the rest of us.

Goddess help us.

[mcar]

11. Indeed.

[Luz]

13. Yes I do. Especially Melania. I believe he blames her

for Barrons autism, and yes, I believe he is autistic. And no, I'm not a Doctor of any kind.

I believe he blames vaccines and now Tylenol and anything else she said or did while pregnant because God knows HE couldn't father a child he sees as flawed.

[meadowlander]

16. I don't think we should speculate on other peoples' neurodiversity

but I do think it's interesting that one of the things that actually has been shown to have a strong correlation to autism is the father being over 40 at conception.

[NJCher]

35. I recall mentioning this

Research to a college class of about 25-30 students. About three hands shot up, each with a story that was relevant to the research.

This was way back in 2015 or so.

[Doodley]

15. So, if a pregnant woman has a fever, which can be dangerous to the baby, do nothing?

[Native]

21. this is my concern. they make these pronouncements without caring about the harm they will do.

you and I know damn well this will happen.

[mcar]

23. As the idiot says, "tough it out"

[NJCher]

36. That's what we're

Having to do with him.

[yardwork]

39. Ironically, high fevers might be connected to autism.

But they don't care.

[Heidi]

47. Their answer is: DIE.

They’ll take every measure to keep us technically alive as fetus incubators, then pull the plug and not do one damn thing to ensure a healthy, stable life for the infant. But there’s no war on women, right?

[bigtree]

17. yes

RFK Jr. draws parallel between autism and the #MeToo movement.

...the President’s HHS secretary caught some observers off guard by making reference to the #MeToo movement — while arguing parents have been ignored about autism.

“Some 40 to 70% of mothers who children with autism believe that their child was injured by a vaccine,” he said. “President Trump believes that we should be listening to these mothers instead of gaslighting and marginalize them like prior administrations. Some of our friends like to say, we should believe all women. And some of the same people have been silencing and demonizing these mothers for three decades.”

[mcar]

24. Those darn women's libbers!

[Walleye]

30. Believe all women? Including E. Jeanne Carroll?

I love when they rail against us for saying things we never said

[Iris]

19. Of course

[Native]

22. I think he doesnt care enough about women to have purposefully done this with the intent to harm or marginalize them...

I think he had to come up with something because he said he would, and this was the best thing he could find, and because it is so clearly an opinion without the studies to back it up, he is using women (no one ever listens to them, the poor things) to give it some validity. I think junior's ego is even bigger than Trump's.

[mcar]

25. It's also a cheap and easy way to justify

cutting funding for research into autism. And, of course, to push his long debunked "vaccines cause autism" lie.

[Native]

43. Definitely!

[Diamond_Dog]

28. Blame the mothers. It's the easiest way to go.

[GusBob]

31. Yes that, and more attacks on science because of the pandemic

DT gets his own Drs to lie about his own health. Think about that

But more importantly he wants to denigrate science, research and medical people. And take control 'cuz he is a dictator. Anyone who disagrees with him becomes an enemy of the state and MAGA folks will make their lives hell

He is punching back in revenge on the whole Covid thing which damaged his last presidency

[bucolic_frolic]

32. You mean "I have a headache" Tylenol?

interesting stereotype from the 1950s

[yardwork]

37. Yes. And I'm sure there's some money to be made.

Now RFK, Jr. can sue the makers of Tylenol on behalf of families with autistic children. The government says it was harmful, so pay up.

Meanwhile, yes, it's always convenient to blame moms.

[Nittersing]

41. Didn't drumph mention an herbal supplement that "Dr" Oz is pushing?

I'll see if I can track it down...

Here's the first one I found:
https://people.com/what-is-leucovorin-the-supplement-rfk-jr-claims-treats-autism-11814634

"During a press conference on Monday, Sept. 22, President Donald Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said the FDA will approve the drug leucovorin, a folinic acid supplement.

Kennedy touted it as an “exciting therapy that may benefit large numbers of children who suffer from autism.”

Leucovorin is a form of vitamin B first used in the 1950s to treat the side effects of chemotherapy. The F.D.A. issued an official notice saying it was approving the tablet form of the folinic acid drug to help with symptoms for a subset of children with autism who have “cerebral folate deficiency.”

snip

"Some have raised issues with the potential for the supplement's recommendation to financially benefit some within the government. The medication is sold by Dr. Mehmet Oz’s supplement company iHerb; Dr. Oz holds a government position, overseeing the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services."

[yardwork]

45. Of course. Grifters gonna grift.

[dlilafae]

44. Tylenol refused to kick into Capt. Nefario's

campaign of extortion. So now he's running his mouth and debasing the company for not greasing his palm. Nefario lies profoundly. I hope they sue him, ' bigly! ' 🍀

[LetMyPeopleVote]

48. For this thread

Link to tweet

[rampartd]

49. so much of krasnov's schtick is market manipulation........

i'd like see who has been selling stock. j%j?

plus takes people off of otc pain killers and sends consumers to opiates or street drugs.

[Irish_Dem]

51. Yes it is a twofer. He can extort Big Pharma and humiliate and torture women.

Women are to blame for birth defects, autism and all of the world's ills.

And now women must tolerate pain, suffer, and take no meds at all.
