CNN lies about Trump and autism--episode 3,876,456

The CDC examined a hundred studies on whether the risk of autism in kids increased if the mother took acetaminophen while pregnant.

Most of the studies found a correlation, so a medical panel issued a warning against it.

The studies weren't done by Trump, nor was the decision made by him.  Yet CNN wails

Trump says Cuba has ‘virtually no autism.’ That’s news to Cuban doctors

Now look at how--in the very first 'graf-- CNN cunningly implies that Trump said there was NO autism in Cuba (which is NOT what Trump said) :

Despite what you may have heard recently, and contrary to what US President Donald Trump apparently believes, there is autism in Cuba.

For years the island’s state-run medical system has operated clinics to treat Cubans with autism and carried out campaigns to raise awareness of the neurological developmental disorder. Cuba even offers specialized autism therapies such as swimming with dolphins for foreigners seeking treatment who can pay in badly needed hard currency.

But even though information about how Cuba’s healthcare system treats autism is available to anyone savvy enough to write “Cuba” and “autism” into Google, Trump made the bizarre and false claim that the island’s poverty has spared Cubans from the condition.

Once again the bastards at CNN lie, brazenly: "Trump...made the bizarre and false claim that poverty has spared Cubans from [autism]."  In other words, that Trump claimed there was NO autism in Cuba.  
  Finally the quote from Trump:<

“There’s a rumor [that] they don’t have Tylenol because they don’t have the money...and they have virtually no autism."

Ahh, "virtually no autism."

CNN went on to say Trump "claimed, despite a lack of scientific evidence" that Tylenol could cause autism in their unborn children."  But of course there IS evidence of a correlation.  Not all the studies found a correlation, but most did.

Cuban officials have yet to respond to Trump’s false claims...

Not false in the slightest.

Finally, after a dozen 'grafs slobbering and fawning over how utterly faaaabulous communist Cuba's medical system is, in the 23rd 'graf CNN finally gets around to telling you some numbers:  

Cuba has reported much lower instances of autism than many developed countries – 0.36 cases per 10,000 people."
   [And] according to the World Health Organization, in 2021 about 1 in 127 people had autism [apparently world-wide].

Ahh, finally some numbers, eh?   So how do those numbers compare to the U.S.--where Americans gobble billions of acetaminophen (Tylenol) every year, eh?
   The latest U.S. figure (from last year) is one child out of 31 displays signs of autism.
   For the math-challenged, the figure CNN itself admits for the incidence of autism in Cuba works out to one out of 27,700. 
   Do ya think CNN just doesn't know how to do the maff?  (Recall that the Left bleats that maff beez raaacist.)  Or did they know and hope readers didn't?
   So let's review: U.S. incidence, 1 per 31.  World average: 1 in 127.  Cuba's?  1 in 27,700.  So Trump was totally right: Autism is extremely rare in Cuba.  The U.S. incidence of autism is 893 times higher than Cuba's.
   I hope y'all are starting to see how brazenly the Mainstream Media will tell the most brazen lies to try to discredit Trump.
