    A real study funded by the agencies headed by RFK Jr finding vague correlation with taking pain medications worded consistently as ‘may cause’ and with caveats that women should consult their doctor.

    This past spring RFK Jr said he would have an answer in September because he set up this study to conclude in August. This is absolute bullshit.

      Easy to state but do you have any proof of the connection? I’ve seen refutations of the study claiming the connection was merely the previously understood connection between the age of the mother and autism risk, but that’s just random internet comments.

      What you’re claiming is something much more sinister than a mere mistake.

        I already mentioned the funding and how it conveniently has findings that are aligned with the answer that RFK Jr wanted in the time frame he was looking for. It doesn’t even state causation, just a vague correlation which RFK Jr is exaggerating.

        What other evidence do you want?

          Some kind of connection between the authors of the study and RFK Jr. Lots of studies get lots of funding from lots of different places so the source of the funding is not exactly a smoking gun.

          It was submitted in May so he may have been tipped off about it because that’s kind of his special autistic focus ironically.

            Submitted the month after he announced he would have an answer in September.

            RFK Jr said he wouldn’t undermine vaccines during his confirmation hearing and then did exactly that ever since. He lies about everything.

            Why are you still giving these lying fucks any benefit of the doubt?

              Sorry about asking for fucking proof of your claims. I guess we just rely on vibes to judge truthiness.

        Easy to state but do you have any proof of the connection?

        How about the results section in abstract of the paper, which mentions “association” six times and “cause” zero times.

          The claim is direct funding from RFK Jr. And a deliberate end goal of the study for his purposes. Not that the study is good or bad but that it is a nefarious plot by RFK Jr.
