The Truth about RFK Jr

He's gonna get a whuppin'.


Dr. Mehmet Oz is backpedaling on Donald Trump’s explosive declaration that pregnant women should never use Tylenol.

The president brazenly claimed Monday that acetaminophen—the active ingredient in Tylenol—was responsible for an increase in autism among young children, and instructed pregnant women to “tough it out” and avoid the painkilling drug altogether.

But Oz, who stood behind the president while he made such stunning claims, offered a more cautious stance when asked directly.
In a Tuesday interview with TMZ, the Trump-appointed administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said pregnant women with high fevers should take Tylenol to lower their body temperature. “If you have a high fever….the doctor’s almost certainly going to prescribe you something, Tylenol might be one of the things they give,” the celebrity doctor assured TMZ Live hosts Harvey Levin and Charles Latibeaudiere, adding: “That’s not the problem.”

He told the hosts that it “might be true” taking acetaminophen for low-grade fevers during pregnancy is safe. “We don’t know,” he said.

“Take it when it’s appropriate,” he said. “Acetaminophen’s probably your best option, but take it when you really need it.”

Meanwhile, Trump insisted on Monday: “With Tylenol, don’t take it. Don’t take it.” He also went wildly off-script and made several spurious claims about Cubans and the Amish.

Is anyone going to talk about the fact that Lord Dampnut appears to think that all childhood vaccines are administered in one big dose all at once? He talks about pumping babies full of huge amounts of vaccine. Does he think vaccines are administered as though a child is a water balloon?

Childhoos vaccines, no.
Now the US Military is another matter...your first day in training, when I was in, you got a whole slew of shots all at once. Including a grand finale in the buttocks.
 
The New York Times reported, "Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Thursday said the United States would reject a United Nations declaration on chronic diseases, because it ignored “the most pressing health issues,” and more broadly because the Trump administration takes issue with policies that he described as promoting abortion and “radical gender ideology.”...The text of the U.N. declaration does not mention reproductive rights or gender ideology. The word “gender” appears several times in the document, but only in the context of the specific health challenges facing women...Public health advocates said they were confounded and disappointed by Mr. Kennedy’s remarks, which were also posted on social media. Many of the U.N.’s aspirational goals for reducing noncommunicable disease would seem to dovetail with the health secretary’s Make America Healthy Again agenda, with its focus on chronic illness, childhood obesity and ultra processed food."
 
he thinks in cartoon logic where there's mad scientists wielding giant scary syringes filled with green liquids
 
On the latest Wednesday live stream for the Skeptic's Guide to the Universe, they spoke in detail about the Tylenol press conference, and a couple of things struck me.

One, yes, Trump does indeed believe that babies are being blown up like water balloons using a single giant syringe.

Two, Trump and RFKjr are treating all autism diagnoses as severe autism diagnoses. They think every case of autism is Rain Man. They think that the increased number of autism diagnoses means that more children are nonverbal and have severe learning and social difficulties. This is manifestly not the case.

Finally, a lot of things make more sense when you realise that RFKjr was a successful litigator before he became a professional antivaxxer. He thinks like a litigator. He approaches science with the mind of a litigator. He doesn't search for the truth, he searches for whatever he can use to prosecute his case, which is why he cherry picks from the scientific literature.
 
There must be MAGA parents listening to that stuff and saying to themselves "Whaaaa..?" Surely?

Trump: "I think I can say there are certain groups of people that don't take vaccines and don't take any pills that have no autism. Does that tell you something? Is that a correct statement, by the way? ... I'm not so careful with what I say."

Youtuber Emma Thorne answered that question best, "that's because they're dead, Donald".

RFK Jr: "A compliant child must take between 69 and 92 vaccines to stay in school in some states, and not one of them has been safety tested in a pre-licensing placebo-controlled trial. And that is just malpractice."

Not only clinically insane, he is an outright lying clinically insane SOB. He knows full well each of those points is simply not true.

Indeed, but to MAGA/MAHA folks it comes across as, "At last someone is willing to tell the truth." The medical professionals I know personally are literally aghast at what this man is doing to decades of medical knowledge.
 
Medical advice from the President.

@realDonald Trump

Pregnant Women, DON'T USE TYLENOL UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, DON'T GIVE TYLENOL TO YOUR YOUNG CHILD FOR VIRTUALLY ANY REASON, BREAK UP THE MMR SHOT INTO THREE TOTALLY SEPARATE SHOTS (NOT MIXED!), TAKE CHICKEN P SHOT SEPARATELY, TAKE HEPATITAS B SHOT AT 12 YEARS OLD, OR OLDER, AND, IMPORTANTLY, TAKE VACCINE IN 5 SEPARATE MEDICAL VISITS!
