Okay - democrats will push us in 1984 dystopia where they force you to accept that reality is what they tell you, and republicans will push us in low life high tech Cyberpunk dystopia where corporations reign supreme. Choose your poison.

Which reality is that? The real reality? Admittedly real reality is a pretty bitter pill at times.

Maybe the one where biological sex is imaginary. Or the one where Biden's health is good enough for another four years. You pick (or keep looking the other way and losing, to the detriment of far more important issues).

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.

My point is merely that the lie against reality is being perpetrated by Republicans. You never really addressed that.
