A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
The logic of the 'meme' is just bad. Something being identified before something else does not mean the second thing cannot create the first.
Cancer existed before cigarettes, yet cigarettes still cause cancer. Using this 'meme's' logic, "anyone trying to tell you that cigarettes cause cancers is entirely full of crap".
This is another dumb take. Cigarettes don't cause cancer, they increase cancer risk.
RFK is claiming he knows the cause of Autism not something that can increases its risks.
The logic of this meme is sound.
You know how cigarettes increase cancer risk? They do it by causing cancer
We are here talking about RFK's insistence that Tylenol causes Autism.
Cigarettes don't cause cancer as many people who smoke never get cancer. They do increase the risk of developing it though.
Once again though, we are not talking about increased risk and nor is RFK.
I can assure you I take smoking cigarettes seriously. In fact, I helped lobby to end smoking in bars and restaurants in my town and I was successful in doing so.
This is giving some strong "bullets don't kill people, it's the blood loss and organ damage" and I don't like it.
Hey, I know reading comprehension may not be your thing and this is certainly not my fight. I will break it down one more time for clarity.
RFK claims it CAUSES Autism. He does not claim merely it increases the risk.
This meme stated quite logically that if it is the cause of Autism and Autism existed before the medication use was widespread, then clearly it does not cause Autism.
Obviously it does not cause Autism, in fact I doubt it is even a risk factor for it. This is pseudo science bullshit that is being used to sell made up "treatments".
Frankly, people that are having a hard time with this are playing devil's advocate, misinformed, or are MAHA.
So what part of this are you not "getting"
I'm wondering if they saw the research that shows paracetamol reduces empathy and just jumped straight to autism
That is some interesting research. I had heard it in passing, but I want to read more about it. Thanks!
it's a bad argument, but the people claiming that Tylenol causes autism aren't using logic to make their claim either.
Worm brain
Jeffery Epstein
Oh he also recently ate thermal paper/reciept because it was healthy on an article today. hes also associated epstein too.
TL;DR they want Autistic people to go without pain killers.
and pregnant women ☝😃 ibuprofen is not allowed during the last trimester making tylenol the usual painkiller of choice
TIL
tfw my wife has a paracetamol allergy and I will never have autistic kids
😔
Uh, this is a logical fallacy though :(
