That is the problem. The language of science versus the understanding of the language is science by the wilfully ignorant and shockingly stupid.
“There’s is no conclusive evidence…”
“So there is evidence!”
The most extensive study of acetaminophen use by pregnant women following 2.4 million women showed NO EVIDENCE OF ANY LINK BETWEEN TYLENOL/PARACETAMOL USE AND AUTISM.
The science/medical community needs to dumb it down for the dumbth.
It’s pretty stupid to call it conclusive evidence, since evidence in science very rarely is conclusive. In medicine it’s generally statistic, and there are always a chance if you test 5 million people, that the 5 million and 1 will be different.
So it’s not about average people being unable to understand scientific terms in this case, but it’s simply not a reasonable statement by any normal use of the language. Of course there isn’t conclusive evidence, because that’s an insane bar.
