oh, like that classic Democrat line "tylenol causes autism"?

  We are talking about the same hepatotoxic compound that is absurdly easy to OD on but it gives negligible relief on stuff you should just power trough? That anecdotal - is barely better than a pacebo? Personally - I think that the two main drivers of autism are people having kids later and too high rates of smart people intermarriage. Of course Trump should not have said Tylenol, but paracetamol. And there are some very mild hints in the data that they are correlated, but not enough sigmas. And of course it could be Tylenol and something else with which ot interacts. And autism is so hard to be linked to anything because of how big the umbrella is and that we have such high delay to diagnosis that we will never know. Not taking medications when not really necessary is probably a good precaution principle

    But if he can't say "acetaminophen" how can he say "paracetamol"?

    Nobody in America says paracetamol. The generic drug is called acetaminophen in America. Anyway, it works very well for the aches and pains that come from manual labor.

  Until fairly recently, stuff line anti-vax was far more common on the left. There used to be a joke that it's fairly easy to find concentrations of anti-vaxxers in US - you just need to plot locations of Whole Foods on the map and then draw a circle around each. (To be fair, though, this was never mainstream in the Democratic party the way these things are now among the Republicans.)
