Robert Kennedy Jr. causes autism, high fevers, headaches, and probably his dad is digging himself up out of the cemetery, even as we speak, to confer with his idiot son about this nonsense.

And nobody has addressed the link between hydrogen dioxide and autism.

Marycat2021's avatar

That's because there is no link showing hydrogen dioxide causes autism. What is your point?

Lawyers, Guns 'n' Money's avatar

Neither do Brussels sprouts (see comment below). And nobody thinks water causes autism. Well, maybe someone from RFK Jr.'s camp does. Them MAGA ain't the brightest.

Although I did write the chemical composition of water incorrectly. I meant to write dihydrogen monoxide.

There has been no definitive proof that Brussels sprouts don't cause autism. Or, for that matter, Slim Jims. They have mechanically separated chicken in them!

The whole "belief" thing is about the best way to send me into a rage. GRRRR! IDNGAF what anyone "believes" as long as they leave others alone or STFU. Preferably both.

You have to be a special kind of stupid to think it's a thing to be able to prove a negative. That guy is just massively stupid. And all the rest of his clown shoe of drunkards, adulterers, fraudsters, and several other kinds of deviates.

ah but it gets attention. Soon he will be telling us that starlings cause polio and inhaling candle wax odors will cure your hiccups.

To put this all in perspective, think of this sentence:

The following, as required by the DQA, details the state of the evidence and studies, and the lack thereof, regarding [washing machines, glue, air, watching Dynasty] and [disease] and outlines HHS future research directions to provide answers.

I see RatFKJr. disguised as a waiter in Dickensian London -- probably Simpson's on the Strand -- rolling the serving cart from table to table, taking a shallow bow and asking "Madam. Sir. Whale head tonight? Baleen or Tooth? Chef assures me both are absolutely fresh!" while twanging a two-man crosscut saw.

Ta, Robyn. Vaccines cause exactly one thing: IMMUNITY.

Actually Shatner did a splendid turn with Ben Folds on Fear of Pop Volume 1. Look it up!

You know what else don't cause autism?

Kobayashi Marooned's avatar

Hmm, many of the authors of these "studies" have a direct relationship with RFK Jr's brainworm. Does that mean that RFK Jr's brainworm causes autism? It MUST be true!

There may be a connection, though, between autism and vaccines. I have a framed print of this: https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/autism-and-vaccines

Anti-vaxxers take "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" waaaay beyond it's breaking point.

"The rise in autism prevalence since the 1980s correlates with the rise in the number of vaccines given to infants." Nothing else has risen since the 1980s, so it must be the vaccines. Q.E.D.

I'll wager that the rise in measles cases correlates with the rise in stupidity ... and that, in this case, causation can be proved.

I would wager the rise in autism since the 1980s correlates with the rise in births...think about that. =)
