    This is another dumb take. Cigarettes don’t cause cancer, they increase cancer risk.

    RFK is claiming he knows the cause of Autism not something that can increases its risks.

    The logic of this meme is sound.

      This is giving some strong “bullets don’t kill people, it’s the blood loss and organ damage” and I don’t like it.

        Hey, I know reading comprehension may not be your thing and this is certainly not my fight. I will break it down one more time for clarity.

        RFK claims it CAUSES Autism. He does not claim merely it increases the risk.

        This meme stated quite logically that if it is the cause of Autism and Autism existed before the medication use was widespread, then clearly it does not cause Autism.

        Obviously it does not cause Autism, in fact I doubt it is even a risk factor for it. This is pseudo science bullshit that is being used to sell made up “treatments”.

        Frankly, people that are having a hard time with this are playing devil’s advocate, misinformed, or are MAHA.

        So what part of this are you not “getting”
