I hate the guy as much as anybody but it is a real study.
https://hsph.harvard.edu/news/using-acetaminophen-during-pregnancy-may-increase-childrens-autism-and-adhd-risk/
A real study funded by the agencies headed by RFK Jr finding vague correlation with taking pain medications worded consistently as 'may cause' and with caveats that women should consult their doctor.
This past spring RFK Jr said he would have an answer in September because he set up this study to conclude in August. This is absolute bullshit.
Easy to state but do you have any proof of the connection? I've seen refutations of the study claiming the connection was merely the previously understood connection between the age of the mother and autism risk, but that's just random internet comments.
What you're claiming is something much more sinister than a mere mistake.
How about the results section in abstract of the paper, which mentions "association" six times and "cause" zero times.
The claim is direct funding from RFK Jr. And a deliberate end goal of the study for his purposes. Not that the study is good or bad but that it is a nefarious plot by RFK Jr.
