"But with Tylenol, don't take it. Nothing bad can happen, it can only good happen."

Donny 2-Dolls is pushing false claims of a link between Tylenol vaccines and autism, and is urging pregnant women and children to stop taking the drug. He also promoted unsubstantiated claims that childhood immunizations contribute to autism.

The announcement just happens to coincide with the promise by RFK Jr. to "find" the cause of autism "by September." Kennedy's efforts to achieve this have mostly revolved around firing the most qualified scientists working for the CDC and NIH. Kennedy has been been saying for years that autism is primarily caused by immunizations, though there is no evidence to support his claims.

The official recommendation made by the FDA is that doctors should "consider minimizing" the use of Tylenol by pregnant women, while acknowledging that "a causal relationship has not been established, and there are contrary studies in the scientific literature."

As for vaccines, Dr. Susan Kressly, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics said:

Studies have repeatedly found no credible link between life-saving childhood vaccines and autism.

Any effort to misrepresent sound, strong science poses a threat to the health of children.

The Pentagon is requiring journalists to sign a pledge not to gather information that has not been authorized for release. Those who don't sign the pledge will lose all access to the Pentagon, including access to unclassified materials.

MSNBC journalist Jonathan Lemire had this to say:

The idea that a member of the Pentagon press corps or a reporter writ large can only write what the government tells them to, that's not how it works in the United States of America.

Pete Hegseth—Secretary of the Department of Defense that we are spending billions of taxpayers' dollars to unofficially name the Department of War—has a new plan aimed at removing black men from our armed forces. His reason: Razor bumps.

Pseudofolliculitis barbae, most often called razor bumps, refers to ingrown hairs caused by shaving. The condition disproportionately affects Black men: Somewhere between 45 and 80% of men of African ancestry are likely to develop the condition. It's not a medical defect, it's not an illness, it's not a weakness. It's a very natural phenomenon that is most prevalent in individuals who have thick, curly hair. After a close shave, the cut hair follicles don't grow out through the proper channel but get trapped under the skin.

The military has long offered shaving waivers to Black servicemen who commonly experience this condition, allowing them to trim their beards short rather than shaving them completely. But under the new policy, service members who experience this condition and are not cured after a year of treatment may be discharged. Try to understand that the cause of the condition is having thick, curly hair. That is not something that can be "cured." There is no cure for the condition, there are only recommendations to minimize the occurrence by shaving less frequently or not shaving so closely.
