    The logic of the ‘meme’ is just bad. Something being identified before something else does not mean the second thing cannot create the first.

    Cancer existed before cigarettes, yet cigarettes still cause cancer. Using this ‘meme’s’ logic, “anyone trying to tell you that cigarettes cause cancers is entirely full of crap”.

      This is another dumb take. Cigarettes don’t cause cancer, they increase cancer risk.

      RFK is claiming he knows the cause of Autism not something that can increases its risks.

      The logic of this meme is sound.
