@arstechnica well, what did we expect from the #OneStarState?
Well, the upside is that it will be a good chance for the defense to publicly debunk the claim. Though, as we have seen, that probably won't matter to MAHA/MAGA types who have, as someone brilliantly put it on here recently "a 3rd grader with crayons" understanding of science.
@arstechnica Is the State of Texas trying to extort a settlement amount?
@arstechnica
Well it is Texas. What would you expect.
@arstechnica There's probably more empirical evidence that birthing babies in Texas causes stunted cognitive development. Perhaps someone should sue Texas.
@arstechnica No, paracetamol does not cause autism.
You should rather check your own mental health.
@arstechnica
Not unproven. Discredited.
@arstechnica Oh, _this_ should go well. Where's my popcorn?
@arstechnica Is Texas winning the race to the bottom? It sure feels that way….
@arstechnica I honestly think people in the 1600's were more intelligent than these uneducated #Republican dipshits.
I've seen more coherent reasoning in a bowl of moldy gravy.
@arstechnica They'll have to prove that, so it'll go well.
It really, really doesn't cause autism:
@arstechnica - It's not stupid.
It's a power play. If tylenol wants to play ball with the regime, they will send money (bribes disguised as a settlement) and give into demands.
Its how this regime handles all big companies.
@arstechnica “Unproven” 🤦♂️
