I did not expect to hear the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard today.
But here we are
I would LOVE for a republican in the comments to defend this. I’d like to ask them how many crayons they ate this morning

We’re gonna have mandatory random foreskin inspections now, aren’t we?

Who’s studying all these penises?
They need to come on reddit and write 19F on their profile and do some actual research lol

Wait, does that count as antisemitic?

I actually laughed at this one! Even for Kennedy its stupid.

This might be the most idiotic thing they’ve come out with yet.
Holy mother of fuck this man is ignorant. Also a liar, but definitely ignorant too.

Kudos to the editor for using a title that is guaranteed to get engagement

Wait I thought it was vaccines. Or was it Tylenol? And now it’s foreskin?

A circumcision of which head causes autism?

How about brain worms or swimming in raw sewage, anything there?

Even the Tylenol-believers are gonna say huh to this one.

I bet there’s also highly likely link between having a doctor do that reflex test on your knee with those little triangle shaped hammers and autism.
(y’all am I doing this right?)

So from what I see the logic is that when a child gets a circumcision, they get given Tylenol for the pain, which then makes them autistic. Therefore circumcision leads to autism.
Which is… a statement…
FantasticJacket7 on
I took Tylenol once and my foreskin just shriveled up and fell off.

Olivia Nuzzi, please tell us what you saw in this guy.

Haven’t rates of mandatory circumcision been falling in this country for some time?
So how does that work?

This sounds like an excuse for them to look at people’s genitals while not being a registered medical professional.

This is entirely because autism is more common in males than it is in females and RFK doesn’t understand that coloration does not equal causation.

Then why does my uncircumcised daughter have autism?
MVSmith69 on
What a fucking idiot, according to him life leads to autism. Being wealthy contributes to being stupid and calloused with no empathy for the rest of the world…

Okay, so how does he explain the ’tism in countries where circumcision isn’t as big a deal as in the States? (uncut, abroad and possibly autistic here)
Perhaps autism ***isn’t*** actually something that you can catch and prevent like whooping cough or measles (though we know that they’re on the rise because of how you prevent them)? Maybe it’s a complex condition with numerous potential causes? Or would acknowledging that prevent Brainworms McGee here from grifting and pushing his pseudoscientific quackery in public?

I mean circumcision is terrible for children but linking it to autism!?

RFK Jr is an unlearned idiot failing upward who has no qualifications for his position and paycheck. RFK Jr is a threat to this nation’s health, wellness, and stability.

Awesome. Explain exactly how.
You can’t bc that’s not how biology works. My third grader knows that.
Kale_Earnhart on
I didn’t expect this would be the way we finally break the norm of circumcising kids in America.
Postom on
It’s a good thing this RFK Jr guy isn’t in a serious position or has any power. That might be terrifying.

I’m against baby circumcision, but this is just stupid.

My son is not circumcised, I didnt take pain medicine of any kind (never had pain while pregnant with him), didnt eat fast food, no processed food of any kind, and no caffeine (nearly killed me 😭).
I did *everything* right. The pregnancy went perfectly, he hit all his milestones. He still has autism. The only reason we see it so much now is because *we are actually tracking it now*.

They’re literally committing the basic error of correlation = causation. Like ice cream consumption being higher in the summer and murder rates also being higher = ice cream causes higher murder rates. They’re so fucking stupid.

Huh that doesn’t make sense
Hold on, I wanna see how this one pans out…
