“There are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism,” Kennedy said Oct. 9 at President Donald Trump’s Cabinet meeting. “It’s highly likely because they’re given Tylenol.”
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.
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.
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?
Wut.
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
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
Not really the white hoods I’d like the federal government to be concerned about, to be honest…
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?
If that leads to less circumcision, that would be a win.
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
“There are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism,” Kennedy said Oct. 9 at President Donald Trump’s Cabinet meeting. “It’s highly likely because they’re given Tylenol.”
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
