Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claims that there may be a link between circumcision and autism. Researchers, however, noted they had no data on painkillers or anesthetics used, and thus couldn’t address whether Tylenol was linked to autism.
I mean, I guess if guys weren’t circumcised they could simply store their Tylenol in their pee pee pockets.
Not sure what you mean by clickbait - the article does say that he claimed circumcision causes autism, and explains the 2015 study to which he’s probably referring to.
Not only that, but circumcision happens after birth. The DNA mutations association with autism occur in utero. The symptoms may be noticed later in life, but it’s not something that is caused by something after birth.
So… the circumcision has NOTHING to do with it!
They are STILL claiming Tylenol is the problem.
They just added “circumcision” for click bait.
If you insert a tylenol tablet into the head of your circumcised penis, you will get double autism.
It’s possible someone noticed that the autism diagnosis rate in the US is higher than most other countries that leave children’s genitals intact.
The theory falls apart though when you look at Sweden and South Korea.

He’s claiming that because of the pain involved, people took (were given) Tylenol for that pain.
Cutting your finger (or any other appendage) does NOT cause autism.
Tylenol does NOT cause autism.
He’s an idiot.

Mutation isn’t a good way to look at it. Better a difference in development.
Ah, I re-read and you’re 100% correct.
Sorry, I must have somehow missed that line entirely when I first read it.
No worries. Waaaaay too much stupid stuff going on lately to keep track of everything.
They’re doing it on purpose.
