what part?

how would you have worded the headline to avoid what you call clickbait?

Evidence linking Tylenol and autism not definitive "but very suggestive", says health secretary Kennedy.

[–] theolodis@feddit.org 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

"Suggestive evidence is information that hints at a particular conclusion but is not conclusive on its own."

So in short, is there no conclusive evidence linking it to autism?

Kennedy hears that there is no conclusive evidence linking tylenol to autism yet assumes the causal relationship exists. (It just hasn't been proven yet.)

Any rational person hearing that there is no conclusive evidence linking tylenol to autism assumes the causal relationship does not exist. (But acknowledges that the causal relationship has not been disproven.)

A better summary would be "Kennedy acknowledges his claims about Tylenol are not supported by evidence."

Why is this "critical part"? Kennedy being a lunatic with ZERO CREDIBILITY...

why would you base ANY medical decision on a guy who actually said "you shouldn't base any medical decision on my advice"?
