F*** sake Tylenol is a brand, acetaminophen is the active ingredient. So if they're saying Tylenol, you can guess this is just a standard everyday stock manipulation, and possibly some personal vendetta, but I'm going with shorting the stock.
Hey now don't underestimate how completely idiotic they are, too! This administration is filled with so many slackjawed fools that I don't put it past them to genuinely not know Tylenol is just a name brand.
It’s like people who say Tannoy, when they mean public address system
Their fear mongering luckily only applies to Tylenol and Acetaminophen, they’ve never even heard of paracetamol.
It couldn't possibly be the microplastics and vocs in your child's brain.
Just don't pay attention while we defund the study and abatement of PFOS and PFAS... Something something Epstein files.
i want out
I wonder how many children he had to rape before making that informed decision? That's all it takes to be an expert on children's health for a republican, right? RFK Jr doesn't have any other qualifications at all. None.
I'm just assuming all republicans are child rapists now, since they ALL voted to cover up child rape.
There may very well be a correlation, but the causation probably runs the other way if so. That is - autism may increase the use of painkiller use in pregnancy. Since all evidence points to autism being genetic.
Per essentially every source referenced in the article, there is no correlation either.
Trump says it's bad for me? I'm taking it!
Personal anecdote, but I discovered that a feeling I had associated with being sick when I was younger was actually from the Tylenol my parents handed out like it was candy when any of us did get sick (exaggerating a bit, it was basically one of the go to "solutions" when sickness came up). I realized this when I took a percocet for fun, since people do that for some reason, and then just felt sick after. Like a head sickness, a brain fog.
No idea if there's any link between that and autism (could just be a personal sensitivity, which is what I've treated it as ever since), but the argument from the article that it might cause stigma because it could be considered "their own fault" is a very weak one, weak enough that it makes me wonder if there really is a link. It's not "Tylenol and autism aren't linked", it's "claims that Tylenol and autism are linked might make people feel bad about taking Tylenol!"
Though tbf, the response could be coming from the same source as the initial claims, intending to increase credibility via the exact thing I said in the last paragraph.
