Huh?!? Just a few months ago they swore autism was caused by Tylenol! Is it both vaccines and Tylenol??

It sounds a bit like they’re making it up…

Reducing vaccinations in Florida *could* free up a lot of beachfront housing...

"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the gameshow craze that's sweeping the nation. As the President's stunning incompetence and stupidity, along with myriad other faults, drives the world deeper into chaos, he thrashes about for someone to blame.

"Today's contestant is Mr. Robert F. Kennedy. Did I say that right? Oh. Junior. Sorry. So, there's a senior? Oh. Sorry again.

"All right, Mr. Kennedy. You know how the game is played. You put your name in as a contestant thinking that it would never come up, that you'd be the one to succeed where everyone else fails."

Looks at watch. "Do you know what time it is, Mr. Kennedy? It's time for--"

I wonder if what’s going on is that T wasn’t originally an anti-vaxxer (he got the Covid shot!) but became one because it was politically expedient — and now he wants the chief anti-vaxxer, the guy he gave the appointment and resources to do the research, to show him the proof.

I think he is just desperate for a win to support his very very very bad policies myself

But I thought Bobby Brain Worm had already “proven” that autism was caused by Tylenol.

I thought it was caused by circumcisions.

The Catholic Church is like, "are you at all familiar with our work? A few aborted cells loosely linked to a vaccine is a drop in the bucket"

Ron Spangler's avatar

Pfft ... what even is "prove"? Cheeto Hitler just wants Jr. to start lying that everyone agrees vaccines cause autism, and not stop saying it, with maybe some lawsuits or criminal referrals against the prominent people who call bullshit, which the administration will lose, but that's not the point.

Ron Spangler's avatar

Also, too, the Cheeto doesn't really give a shit what causes autism, or about people who are autistic (aside from himself - can NOT read a room, totally on the spectrum) or about vaccines. That is also not the point of this.

Given his base, targeting people who are neurodivergent doesn't seem like the best strategy.

A wit on BlueSky wrote "Vaccines do not cause autism, but people should get them anyway".

This obsession of Trump’s seems quite personal, as if one of his offspring may be on the spectrum of autism and he would look to scapegoat this on anything but his genetics.

Cassandra Columbia's avatar

Does Trump realize that “gold-standard science” doesn’t involve actual gold?

It's a sativa strain. I had some last week.

SterWonk's avatar

Remember: the subtext to all of this is that it is better to catch, potentially spread, potentially face life-long fallout from, or potentially die of infectious diseases, than it is to be autistic.

"...Ladapo is a nut..."

He has a rubber butt

Every time he turns around

He goes "putt putt".

Daniel O'Riordan's avatar

I can't not see and hear in my head his name as Ladopa. If I had to testify under oath about him, I'd be mispronouncing his name left and right.

I think it's French for "the dope".

Bibi: "So you know why we're having this little meeting?"

Pedo47: "Yes."

Bibi: "Why?"

Pedo47: "Cause I didn't."

B: "Didn't what?"

P47: "Didn't do like you said."

B: "What did I say ?"

P47: "Keep bombing Iran."

B: "And?"

P47: "And kill every living thing that moves and call it "collateral, miss coordinates, system failure or

some shit. I'm sorry, I was going to, but Mikey and them yelled about the Midterms!"

B: "So now what are you gonna do now?"

P47: "Go to my room. And bomb Iran."

Oh, I think Trump has finally realized Bibi played him.

He's pissed that he got talked into a forever war, no better than Hover or Bush II. Bibi made him a loser.

Short of an invasion -- and we don't have anywhere enough troops for an invasion of the entire country, not even close -- or a nuke, Presidunce Shitferbrains has nothing.

The former would require a draft. Sure, he can do a partial invasion, one of the small islands, but it would not change the balance of power. It would be really stupid. ... So that's probably something he will do.

The nuclear option would be left to Shitrael. Plausible deniability for the US. Let them take the heat. But the blowback would be bad and worldwide and forever.

In a May survey, Shitrael was the most disliked country in the world. Worse than North Korea. Well, shooting babies in the face and fucking starving people tends to piss people off.

fuck, that picture. I hope there were protestors. And damn if his diaper flap on his cheap suits isn't ginormous.

There's speculation he's got some medical device back there.

I'm rather surprised that vaccines haven't been held responsible for the skyrocketing number of gays. There were only 14 of the latter in the country before 1990 as we know.

Daniel O'Riordan's avatar

I knew quite a few before that date. Not many of them made it out of the 80's.

Before we had vaccines you didn't see kids playing Minecraft.

Wasn't it the fluoridation of water that was turning the frogs gay?

Fifth Dentist's avatar

Every time it rains mud puddles fill up and frogs sing their froggy songs.

If they're gay, they're cheating because their numbers don't seem to be dwindling.
