I live on Tylenol. Don't get between me and my meds! In case you missed it, the Rapture is supposed to happen today. TODAY. I'm thinking about arranging clothing in the park to look like someone was sucked up into the clouds. Maybe a few outfits to indicate a group. Sorry, idiots. Gonna be a heartache tonight. Btw, I wrote a book on American snake oil, and I've had email exchanges with Dr. Paul Offitt, the leading expert on vaccines. The connection between vaccines and autism has been disproven in double blind study after study. It's a stupid, fucking myth and it's hurting people. RFKjr needs a case of flesh-eating bacteria to take care of the worm in his brain.

I, an actual doctor, have done many years of clinical pharmaceutical research. I have noted that almost all children with autism drank milk during their first year of life. Therefore, milk causes autism. And that ladies and gentlemen has as much credibility as the link between Tylenol and autism. Trump and Kennedy have no idea how research is done, and the stable genius should learn how to pronounce acetaminophen before making a further fool of himself in public. Itโ€™s not that hard.

Rand Paul was an ophthalmologist. I,as a gastroenterologist, have seen the results of some of his surgeries hooking the optic nerve up to the anus, giving the patients a shitty outlook on life.

I, as the holder of a DDS degree, believe that the overwhelming majority of those afflicted by autism have teeth, so therefore having specialized calcified masticatory structures embedded in the maxillary and mandibular bone causes autism.

Out shopping, whatever. I was the youngest, oh just leave her behind. Often when we were traveling and staying with relatives. Differences groups would go out and i was just forgotten, in a strange house, strange neighborhood, strange city. Once in my auntโ€™s old house that made creepy noises like footsteps up stairs or on the stairs. I was terrified. Even sitting on the front porch i was afraid to sit with my back to the windows. Scary inside and outside. The neighbors were all gone, or kids that wandered around looking rough and tough. One scared little girl, imagining the rapture left me behind for 1,000 years with pagan people of the devil. Yep. The put the fun in Fundamentalist teaching. Weirdly, my abusive older sisterโ€™s favorite books are the โ€œLeft Behindโ€ series. She used to hide under my bed snd grab my ankles, or jump on me when I was asleep to scare me. She carried this, and worse, into adulthood life. When I was 12 i got my own bedroom, my fortress but there was no respecting boundaries by my parents either.

Autism was first differentiated from schizophrenia as a distinct disorder around 1911, I believe. Decades before Tylenol entered the marketplace. Trump's focus on pregnant women is no doubt driven by his sadism and misogyny -- he wants women to suffer when they're most vulnerable.

CAN we all just go back to not being triggered by idiotic ideas about the most benign pain reliever on the market and not panicking those people who RELY on it (contained in their migraine and other meds - such as my husband and myself)? My doctor cautions me about just how much is a 'safe' daily amount and I comply (and try to keep hubby complying). First they came for the Fiorinal (which worked for migraineurs). We adapted since neither of us can use Aspirin OR NSAIDS in any form. So, Fioricet it is. The 'cet' in any drug's name denotes A-Cet-aminophen (tylenol, for those unaware). It took my Neurologist (now the head of Neurology at 2 hospitals out here so was forced to give up seeing individual patients) working with me for over 2 years to come up with a fine-tuned combination of Fioricet and Topamax (normally used for epilepsy) as a preventive for my severe migraines (he believes some of mine might be cluster headaches as well - mostly suffered by men). If not for that Neuro I wouldn't still be here AND functioning. The last attorney I worked with suffered from those. Sadly, he was an Orthodox Jewish man who'd fast, refusing to eat even when breaking his fast would bring on those brutally painful headaches. He'd go to Temple every day in NYC then leave after a full day's work for his home UpState NY. For reference, many men have committed suicide due to THAT level of unabated brain pain. He hired ME, a decidedly NOT Jewish girl to work with him precisely because I understood his predicament and could always step in for him during his absences, and always knew when he was in the throes of 'one of those'.

(response to Random Human) The "R team" is not doing ANY research into the causes of autism. They are only misinterpreting reports of actual scientifically designed studies on the association of autism diagnosis to prenatal use of acetaminophen. Those results are unambiguously inconclusive. No statistically significant increase when studies were conducted and analyzed objectively. RFK Nutball is bringing this connection, as well as his Nutball vaccine connections, straight out of his imagination. Needless to say, the mental dwarf trump will believe anything that anybody he likes tells him, so he's backing Nutball RFK. After all, trump has a 'feeling'! And by the way, this whole discussion is about PRENATAL use of Tylenol, not use in babies.

Expand full comment
steve robertshaw's avatar

I appreciate the links. These meta analyses (often including studies with very different protocols and questionnaire methods) remain inconclusive. Inconclusive means no discernible association. The largest, and most regimented, the Swedish report following nearly 2.5 million babies born over a 20 year period, with questionnaires of each mother at different points in their pregnancies regarding medication use, showed that overall autism spectrum followups on the children were either .09% (less than one per one thousand children) higher with any reported acetaminophen use, trimester dependent, or 0% when siblings of the children were included. That matters because, IF there is any genetic or epigenetic cause of autism spectrum (it's still most likely a neuronal development issue in the embryo), then their siblings would be more likely to also be diagnosed as on that autism spectrum. And that seemed to be the case in the study.

They were offering flu shots, Shingrix (for shingles), COVID-19 shots, etc. (The same thing was offered at the doctor Monday.) There was signage about this. The actual doctors outweigh the idiots spewing this dipshitery. America is too big and diverse to outlaw smart people. They are really, really trying, and like everything else they do, they are failing miserably. Remember, Judge Boxwine couldn't even prosecute a ham sandwich. And that's our saving grace. They are evil motherfuckers, but they are really tipping the scales on the ol' incompetence-o-meter.

Since then we've both been careful, vaccinated and absolutely fine - intend to stay that way.

At least 1 of the laws that makes it hard to sue federal employees is the Westfield Act. Itโ€™s the rabbit Bill Barr pulled out of his hat to try to kill E Jean Carrollโ€™s lawsuit. It protects them for acts they take as part of their official duties. But the courts ruled that defaming Carroll was not an official act. & then, despite Roy Cohnโ€™s best efforts, Trump never learned Shut the Fuck Up Friday & he kept defaming Carroll after he was out of office.

But if Tylenol sales take the hit that we expect, Kevnueโ€™s (current owner of Tylenol, spun off from Johnson & Johnson) corporate lawyers are going to be looking for other avenues to sue. The 5th Amendment could be an option (illegal taking), violation of the Administrative Procedures Act (thatโ€™s being used a lot) is another. Since whoever comes up with something successful will be looking at a big bonus, Iโ€™d expect them to get creative.

As the parent and aunt of several 20 somethings, I can see the way that myths get spread and soon they will all be afraid to use Tylenol during pregnancy. However, I can fight back by saying this is not true, Tylenol is fine, but I would like to nip this in the bud before it gets out there. Once these things get out there people are going to want to "err on the side of caution." That is the problem with this kind of pronouncement.
