“We didn’t wait 20 years for Bobby to finally speak and then get served Tylenol as an answer,” anti-vaccine group Georgia Coalition for Vaccine Choice wrote in an unhinged Facebook post on Monday morning. “If that’s all we hear - is that the end? Not thimerosal. Not aluminum. Not MMR. Not Hep B. Not the insane schedule pushed after pharma got liability protection. Are we supposed to just forget?”
Paracetamol aka acetaminophen, has been around since the 1800s. Tylenol as a brand has only been around since 1955.
So while we all know this link is bullshit, the 1911 defence falls apart based on facts.
I think a better response is show me a peer reviewed study from actual researchers who follow actual scientific methodology and have not had to be retracted.
I mean, it also falls apart when you consider leukemia is older than smokable tobacco, or that death by falling is older than airplanes, but still. No, Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, but things being older than other things does not mean anything with regards to increased risk.
Pear reviewed, pear reviewed, I get my info from my apple.
