That's not it though. They will never care about evidence. This is just happening because he has received backlash from his pharmacorpo oligarch overlords about it.

Kennedy's unproven claim initially hit shares of Kenvue, a consumer health company, which was spun off from Johnson & Johnson in 2023.

He still hasn't totally retracted his claim.

The causal association between Tylenol given in pregnancy in the perinatal periods is not sufficient to say it definitely causes autism, However, it is very suggestive.

Trickle truthing vibes, maybe in a year he will retract it.

Just want to say I appreciate you including a source. That's some good posting etiquette.

Just want to add my own conspiracy theory: Junior is not reacting to the lack of evidence, but push-back from the antivaxers.

If you are not autistic and have an autistic child, you're probably looking for answers. I can understand that.

So go get checked for autism yourself.

The retraction, as always, will be ignored and shown to as few people as possible. That way these disingenuous fucks can say “bbbbut the health secretary said…”.

Eh, it's not totally baseless. Hell, there's even a non-zero chance it's true. It's way too early to claim it as true though, since studies on the topic are few, have mixed conclusions and correlation is not causation. I refuse to give it any more credence than "not totally baseless" though.
