Read Replies (3) | Respond to Why the specific quote is extremely unlikely and implausible The meme claims: Scientific absurdity Fetuses do not “emerge from the placenta.” The baby develops in the uterus, and the placenta is a separate structure attached to the uterine wall. The idea of “absorbing Tylenol residue from the esophagus” via the placenta is biologically nonsensical. The sudden jump to “WiFi router” + “vaccinated people catch autism” is a conspiracy-style leap with no basis in biology or medical science. No credible source A search through his published speeches, interviews, and the scientific / news coverage of his claims yields no record of him ever saying anything like that. The extreme exaggerations and conspiratorial nature suggest this is a meme or disinformation piece rather than a grounded quote. Discrepancy with his actual claims His real claims focus more narrowly on possible associations between acetaminophen (Tylenol) exposure and autism risk during pregnancy, not fantastical mechanisms involving WiFi, placenta absorption of residues, or “catching autism” like an infectious disease.

CBS News+3PBS+3FactCheck.org+3 The medical consensus remains that there is no proven causal link between Tylenol (acetaminophen) use during pregnancy and autism. Nature+3Yale School of Public Health+3PBS+3 Some observational studies have found associations (i.e. correlations), but they are not sufficient to show that Tylenol use causes autism. Yale School of Public Health+2PBS+2 Experts continue to caution that autism is a complex condition probably influenced by genetics, prenatal environment, and multiple interacting factors—not one single “exposure.” autismsciencefoundation.org+2
