I can't figure it out. What is the actual reason they knowingly LIED about it?

Some personal grievance against Tylenol brand?

More graft from a competitor?

Appease their conspiracy loving dumbass base?

Destroy the scientific reputation of the US?

Trump is actually that fucking stupid?

All of the above?

This is just how authoritarian governments operate. It’s not some Machiavellian set of dominos. It’s more of a test of loyalty to The Administration than anything else.

They promised to find a reason. My best guess is that they picked a generic drug that is only a painkiller to blame in order to blunt any possible lawsuit. But it’s equally possible that RFK Hr, who is weird, fully evil and profoundly dangerous, actually believes it.

The administration promised they'd find a cause by September 2025. I guess that was the best they had at that point?

I don’t think they’re lying. They probably honestly think they are correct.

They actively reject the values of intellectualism, critical thinking, and expert consensus. They instead embrace empiricism, loyalty, and the great man theory.

It’s a recipe for severe Dunning-Kruger.
