Needs to be the pepe Silvia meme of rfk trying to link autism to anything.
The foreskins protect you from the Tylenol.
I mean... what the fuck?
But I can't fault finally considering an end to Male Genital Mutilation.
I'm with you - I have no idea how that shit is even still legal.
I'm uncircumcised and I was never diagnosed with autism!
Never mind that I would throw a fit as a child if my pancakes weren't cut into a grid AND THEN reassembled into their circular shape.
My mom (who doesn't like to go to restaurants because being waited on stresses her out) was also never diagnosed with autism!
Because diagnoses equal incidence rate, right?
I wonder what other correlations might go with circumcision...
I seriously thought this was the Onion WTF
I fear dumbasses are still going to circumcise their baby boys and will just not give them any pain reliever
So... the circumcision has NOTHING to do with it!
They are STILL claiming the pill taken orally is the problem.
They just added "circumcision" for click bait.
They're trying to salvage their on and it's going badly
That sounds like a whole lot of DISTRACTION FROM THE FACT HE RAPED CHILDREN.
Release the Epstein files!!
Do you mean Donald j Trump, current president of the United States, raped children? Along with his, self admitted, best friend Jeffrey r Epstein?
I don't think him talking about child genitalia is much of a distraction.
You heard him MAGAts.
Cut your dicks off.
Libs HATE it when strong MAGA men cut their own dicks off!
So the Christian God of the old testament caused autism by being infatuated with dick tips. Oh the Christian Nationalist are going to lose their shit over this.
It's a myth that circumcision is a Christian practice. Early Christians debated keeping the covenant, but since they were a proselytizing faith, cutting on your dick is a hard sell and they decided it wasn't necessary.
The actual origin is 19th Century lunatics who thought masturbation caused disease. These were more health nuts than arch conservatives. Most were vegan, and some even feminist. But they promoted circumcision among boys and girls to prevent masturbation. This is why the practice is American but not European.
veganism wasn't invented until the mid 20th century
RFK is hyper focused on autisim. Wait a sec....you know who else gets hyper focused on things?
Nah, dems da wurms
his heroin damaged worm brain, gave him autism, the worms are on to something.
So there’s zero women with autism huh
There's female "circumcision", although very rare in the west due to it usually happens without consent of the recipient, so it became a hot topic through alarmism that left out this little detail, which lead to some of the worst arguments against it being used against gender affirming surgeries.
And of course this statistic couldn't possibly have anything to do with the fact that most boys in this country are circumcised at birth.
They are? Why? I get it for religious reasons but otherwise...why...just for fun?
Mostly cause it's what parents think should be done. Their parents did it and their grandparents did it and so on, so they just have the doctor perform it as a matter of course. And as a justification it's often touted as being cleaner and safer than remaining uncircumcised (it's not).
So infant genital mutilation for religious reasons is cool?
Even now?
This was the case here in the 70s but, I guess we've moved on in the interceding 50 years.
I dont think you could find a doctor here that would do it.
Yes, even now.

Turns out there's a whole thing here that I just didn't really know about.
I'm in Australia. I'm 43 years old, and cut. I have a 2 year old son who is not cut, and we just never seriously considered getting him cut as an infant.
It's only in the last few minutes that I've learned that people are still doing this? Apparently the best stats we have are that in 2010 between 10 and 20 percent of infant males were circumcised. That's down from 85% in the 1950s, so maybe call it 10 percent now.
I had honestly thought doctors just wouldn't do it unless there was a medical reason. Apparently it's still a thing. There's an association of doctors who will perform circumcision, so you can look one up in your area.
It's also interesting that it's more prevalent in conservative areas of the US.
I think my thinking on it has been effected by a few conversations I've seen on reddit and similar. I never thought of my own circumcision as being somehow abusive, but I've seen that some other men really do. As a result of thinking about that I guess I just came to the realisation that removing part of someone else's body for no reason other than my own preference is just weird and wrong.
Reading about it now it seems like the common excuse is that people say "well my dad was cut and I'm cut and I don't want to have to explain to son-face why his dick looks different". Of all the dumb things to say. "Yeah kid we removed part of your sex organ so it would look the same as my own deformed sex organ". Imagine explaining to your kid that you accidentally cut your finger off so you were going to have to cut his finger off so he wouldn't wonder why he has an extra finger. Of all the dumbassery.
Just ban circumcision already. Parents should not have the right to cut off your body parts
Its literally forced mutilation and pointless. Wash your junk.
There MUST be something really important in those Epstein files to make up stuff this stupid for a distraction.
considering musk, rfk jr, and trump is in it, they need all the distraction they can get.
US news are so embarrassing these days the websites actually block European IPs from accessing them.
Wut.
How does the autism know which Tylenol was for the circumcision?
Something something space lasers.
So tylenol makes your foreskin fall off which gives you autism? Where do the brain worms fit into all this?
I'm so confused.
The brain worms fit into RFKs head
Since US guys are like 68% circumcised, Jewish folks get circumcised for religious reasons, should be easy to determine that US guys and Jews are like 2x+ as autistic as guys are worldwide
i feel like its mostly gentile or white people. POC who arnt religious are uncut.
Yeah I think that's largely true. Kellog did a number on the mayo race
Not really the white hoods I'd like the federal government to be concerned about, to be honest…
They probably circumcised his brain after birth...
The real (native) Americans circumcised a lot of invaders heads, just not enough unfortunately
It could be the bourbon, but this has me giggling. 😂
bobby brainworms says the stupidest shit
We don't circumcise in the Netherlands. And we don't have Tylenol. We do have other brands though. So we don't have autism in the Netherlands, except for Jewish men. Guess I don't have autism anymore hahaha
There are, unfortunantly, a lot of circumcisions performed in The Netherlands. But i agree, this is going make my life a lot easier! 😄
Not as much as in the autism infested US xD
When you are investigating autism but you're conservative: have we considered children's genitals?
What does this little boy's Ja Rule have to say about this?
Well, if this sets back the rates of circumcision and stops a second Stonetoss from manifesting (no seriously, he became far-right due to his botched circumcision, which he blames on the Jews), then it has at least some good effects, even if unintentionally.
Wait really? Like normally I'm very sympathetic to those with botched circumcisions, but in his case I'll make an exception to laugh
musk went to a ghetto surgeon, who "diy" his enlargement procedure which mangled his penus.
Elon Musk 🤝 Stonetoss
going insane from a botched penis surgery
How much of a payout do you suppose the drug manufacturers need to give donnie and the worm before a new study proves the old ones wrong?
Drama, even though it's really happening,is a distraction from the long goal.
HEY LOOK OVER HERE! WE'RE SAYING SOMETHING SILLY AGAIN!
Don't ask about the Epstein filesWhat kind of mental gymnastics is this?
The best of the best kind. Huge Olympic gymnastics. You've never seen huger gymnastics. Even experts say it's the best gymnastics they've ever seen. Huuuuge!
Ease up on RFK! Physicists get that way too.

"Lopping off dick meat after you're born doubles the chances your brain developed abnormalities in the previous 9 months"
Sure
If that leads to less circumcision, that would be a win.
