Why is this 70 year old guy so obsessed with something he knows nothing about? Why name Tylenol the “cause” of autism when he obviously wants to say its vaccines?

I get that the underlying goal of MAHA is eugenics, but I just don’t get why or this angle. I haven’t come across much really talking about it. Everything is focused on the fact that its obviously ridiculous that Tylenol (or anything) causes autism, but what is the obession with finding this nonexistent cause?

      Replying here to answer both questions.

      I was an opiate addict for over a decade. I definitely have undiagnosed ADHD and I believe I am autistic as well, but only based on vibes I guess.

      Opiates do something to my brain… I just feel like me. Or I feel how I should feel? I’m social able and outgoing and fun.

      Since getting sober from opiates, I’ve often wondered what it is exactly they do for my brain that’s missing. Clearly something is missing.

      And these effects did, quite often, include better focus. I worked so much better if I was a little high.

      There is of course a fine line between fixing your brain so it works right and going on a trip to the Land of Nod. That obviously makes you pretty ineffective at everything. And it will come eventually lol
