Luckily it's just Texan taxes in this case
Grifters have to make up the losses from Trump somehow.
Corelation is not causation. What a stupid country I was born to
It’s not even correlation, it’s just made up bullshit
Iirc, this idea comes from a study that found people who used Tylenol while pregnant actually did have a slightly heightened chance of birthing an autistic child. However, that study did not in any way address why this was the case, so incurious fools take it at face value and never examine things any further than that.
This means that there is some very small degree of corelation, even if that corelation has failed to hold water when put to later tests. One of the many, many things that these idiots refuse to look in the eye is that this data point is a singular, contextless point that has way more evidence against than there is for.
I hear where you're coming from, but this one wasn't ripped out of thin air, making it that much more annoying to talk these people out of. So it's not just made up bullshit, but that is still about 99.99% of it.
Yeah, it's much more probable that something that you take tylenol for is (one of) the culprit(s) here, not tylenol itself. Because the average US resident does not have the ability to think such complex thoughts, RFK is a nutjob and Paxton is corrupt as fuck, you get result like this. It's embarrassing to watch.

We should start posting that 3.2% of children watching Trump on TV have developed autism, therefor Trump is using subliminal messaging and is dangerous to their kids. They may not care that a pedophile is in office, but mention subliminal messaging and they'll go crazy.
Hopefully Tylenol sues texas back for being malicious idiots.
There's no controversy in the health community!!! There's no link between acetaminophen and autism, period!

The reasons I've concluded why they hate us ND folk:
-
We are too intelligent
-
We reject authority
-
We look at stupid people like they're stupid
-
We make jokes that non-stupid people laugh at
-
Society is dependent on us for any sort of luxury
- ND folk make for an easy scapegoat for excuses to grab at yet more power.
With these kinds of people, it's rarely personal. They only care what these actions can do for them, not how those actions affect others, whether it's part of their in group or not.
- Not really
- Not always
- Also at intelligent people sometimes
- We also make a lot of shitty jokes that ain't funny
- Not by a long shot

If this were about cars it would be like they are suing one car company for having windshields.
This is so fucking stupid. I wouldn’t root for JJ for some of the shit theyve done in the past but I hope they put all their weight into fucking up RFKjunior for being so fucking stupid.
As usual our AG is being an ass
