Someone finally got that bribe that the whole thing was about all along. Can't wait to learn what "causes autism" next.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Health Secretary RFK Jr. says there's 'not sufficient' proof to show Tylenol causes autism
(www.usatoday.com)
Nvidia. They got a lot of cash. Nvidia causes autism!
You jest, but there was the "5G causes COVID-19" people.
Don't I know it. They were setting 5G towers on fire here at the time.
It'll be Chinese 5G that'll cause COVID. American 5G is non-COVID so new tariffs!
My understanding is that America doesn't actually have 5G telco equipment manufacturers
it's a weak point in the US tech lineup
which is one reason that there was such a major kerfuffle several years back over it. The US does not want China in its sensitive telco infrastructure. There was some point I remember where some US senator said that if Europe wasn't going to support Nokia or Ericsson
Europe does have some entrants -- and just let Huawei take the 5G market, that the US would need to buy one of them. There was some real concern from the US that Europe might just accept ceding the 5G provider market, which would make the US dependent on China.
kagis
This is probably what I remember. I could have sworn that it was a senator, but maybe there were multiple statements or it was actually AG Barr.
White House dismisses idea of U.S. buying Nokia, Ericsson to challenge Huawei
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Mike Pence on Friday and the top White House economic adviser dismissed an unusual suggestion from U.S. Attorney General William Barr that the United States consider taking control of two major foreign rivals of China-based Huawei Technologies Co Ltd.
White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow added later on Friday that the United States was working closely with Nokia and Ericsson, saying the companies' equipment was essential to the buildout of 5G infrastructure. But he said the "U.S. government is not in the business of buying companies, whether they're domestic or foreign," adding that "there's nothing to prohibit American tech companies from acquiring" them.
"That's the plan the president has endorsed and will be carrying forward," Pence said, adding that the United States can expand 5G "by using the power of the free market and American companies."
In a remarkable statement underscoring how far the United States may be willing to go to counter Huawei, Barr on Thursday disclosed proposals "by the United States aligning itself with Nokia and/or Ericsson."
EDIT: IIRC, Cisco or some other US company that I can't remember made some 5G hardware, but they weren't on par with Nokia and Ericsson.
An argument could probably be made for the other way around too.
Either that, or the Tylenol lawyers walked in like the the legal equivalent of Mr. Universe casually tossing 100 pound of documents on his desk, causing RFK Jr. to immediately withdraw the claim and hide behind the curtains.
Gave his friends time to buy the dip.
Realistically it's mostly Magic the Gathering and anime
No, no, those are like trains - correlation, not causation
Texas won't be happy
We're never happy.
Can confirm that statement.
I'm happy sometimes. But only if I'm too drunk to remember our state government but sober enough to remember all the delicious barbecue and Tex Mex around me.
Not until Abott and his ilk are removed.
Removal is too gentle for them, launched out of a cannon into the Gulf of Mexico seems more appropriate
I hear the cure for autism is powdered billionaire bones.
It's actually the cure for a multitude of ailments...
Can I try billionaire broth without risk to my superpowers?
absolutely.
please be aware of the symptoms of over indulgence.
it's pretty much cocaine and adderall symptoms.
clown show continues
since when is RFK Jr and other members of the tyrants administration concerned about proof?
half of them are from fox 'we got sued again' lies
So, if you were smart enough to invest in Tylenol, you are going to make a lot of money on the rebound
If this news was going to move the ticker, it already would have. That being said, I went all-in on Kenvue at $~16, so yes please 🙏
Yeah, their stock price has been in decline for years. This is a bending the knee thing. I wouldn't be surprised if Kenvue and Johnson and Johnson were rewarded for their fealty.
Good job! I’m not much for gambling myself, but I would be very excited to hear that you made some money off of this very obvious market manipulation.
I guess Tylenol ponied up the bribe money.
I think it's equally plausible RFK worked out they have to actually provide proof of the link between Paracetamol/Acetaminophen and Autism during discovery.
Obviously they can't, but the case did what it needed to by muddying the waters and can now be withdrawn.
If Kenvue doesn't sue back for libel, they probably got paid off.
TFW high priced business lawyers walk in and tell little worm eaten idiots what happens if they don't walk back their stupid claims.
So then, why'd you make all those bold claims? Dipshit.
Can we look at stock trades of rich peopleduring the timw he started talking this bull? Like did Tylenol maker shares go down and who bought into thw dip and now if the stock goes up who is selling?
Now they have shutdown to distract from Epstein files.
There’s no sufficient proof that RFK Jr. is normal.
I think 60 year old sperm causes autism
What about foreskins? I heard that getting it removed to young can cause autism.
Wait. Worm brain man says no real proof of a connection?
Now I think there may be one.
Trump saying he can't run fir a third term and Kennedy saying Tylenol doesn't cause autism? Did they drink truth serum?
Maybe they took some Tylenol eh
seems convenient like a distraction news.
Ah, the pharma companies must be starting to lean on him and Trump.
What's the opposite of eating The Onion?
It can only good happen!
