What is the end game on demonizing Tylenol? Autism won't be reduced if pregnant women stop taking it. [View all]

The proof will not be in the pudding.

Just like tRump’s tariffs, the stated miracle cure will either do nothing or make things worse. Same with RFK JR firing people and editing health studies to fit his ideology. None of it has a chance of panning out because it’s all bs, so why pursue these policies? They’re all ticking time bombs.

The reason: because they can. Because they can assert that lies are truth. It’s an exercise in power. They have it, you don’t.
