Doctors in the US will soon be advised not to prescribe the pain reliever Tylenol to pregnant women, US President Donald Trump said, citing a disputed link between the drug and autism.
Trump made the announcement on Monday in the Oval Office alongside Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr.
The US president claimed that taking Tylenol, known as paracetamol elsewhere, "is no good" and that pregnant women should only take it in cases of extreme fever.
With no scientific or medical consensus on the matter, it's clear that superstition and ignorance are the rule of the day for the mornonic clusterfuck that we call the Trump Administration. Bobby and Donnie are some of the stupidest motherfuckers ever to be found outside of a locked ward.
Listening to NPR this morning on a bat run for Ayinger Marzen/Octoberfest, they said autism cases have increased four fold in the last 20 years and Tylenol use among pregnant has remained steady. I don't enough about autism to know if better diagnosing is part of the increase, but four fold doesn't seem probable if it is even a part of it.
ReplyDeleteThey do so with zero proof.
ReplyDeleteEck!
The worse risk is that non-treatment of mild fevers and pain can result in harm to the fetus, while the only study with any evidence backing their position showed the possible link only after at least four continuous weeks of use.
ReplyDeleteYep, this is based on research from that well known center for Right Wing Witchcraft and Superstition: Harvard University.
ReplyDeleteC’mon, Aaron. You know as well as I the value of a single study is almost nil.
DeleteBut as for Brainworm Bobby and President Voldemoron, not so much.
I which study, as noted above, the ONLY possible connection involved the use of high doses for four continuous weeks or more…
DeleteThey are working to put tinfoil under the auspices of the FDA. Got to make sure their believers get only the approved foil.

I'm sure America's external enemies are laughing up their sleeves and observing Napoleon's dictum that you never interrupt the enemy while hw is making mistakes.
The study 's result was that their were more autistic kids born to women that took acetaminophen. But do they factor in that those that took acetaminophen had problems that caused them to take the drug in the first place? Like constant fevers or pain from some other underlying problems?
