"We didn’t wait 20 years for Bobby to finally speak and then get served Tylenol as an answer," anti-vaccine group Georgia Coalition for Vaccine Choice wrote in an unhinged Facebook post on Monday morning. "If that's all we hear - is that the end? Not thimerosal. Not aluminum. Not MMR. Not Hep B. Not the insane schedule pushed after pharma got liability protection. Are we supposed to just forget?"

Autism is known since 1911, Tylenol is on the market since 1955.

I've seen that meme float around a LOT, and it's faulty.

Let's sharpen our thinking in-house first before we argue versus conservatives.

There's a big difference between "the rapid growth of autism cases is lead by Tylenol usage" and "autism is caused single-handedly by Tylenol"

You can bet every conservative who drinks the Kool aid will say that rfk is claiming the former, which isn't disproved by Tylenol being invented after autism cases.
