Acetaminophen use during pregnancy is not likely to raise the risk of having a child with autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability, according to a new study published Friday.

Researchers across Europe reexamined evidence from multiple studies investigating the link between these conditions and the use of paracetamol — called acetaminophen in the United States — and found that these purported associations fell apart after controlling for confounding factors.

    In a sane world, you should be able to prosecute RFK for making or repeating lies. They would claim a defence that they were misinformed and not an expert in the field.

    The precidence that needs to be set is that if you are appointed to a position of responsibility you are then automatically considered qualified in that field for the purpose of law.

    Its either that, or break out the guillotines

    It’s a shame how the wretched US-regime has completely destroyed even such important organizations as the CDC. I recently talked about this with some old friends: All of them are specialists or senior physicians in hospitals in Switzerland, Germany, and Spain—and they all agreed: The CDC can no longer be taken seriously, as virtually all competent medical professionals have been dismissed. This is a huge loss that is costing many lives, and not just in the US.

    And why all this? Just because of the blatant idiocy of this corrupt regime, which acts beyond all reason. Their actions are truly a crime against the whole world.

      Who has shares or ownership of Kimberly-Clark so that it helps RFK, Trump, or someone they know? And why didn’t they shut up about the autism thing after Nov so that the stock price would increase?

    Think about what the resources going into this distraction could have investigated instead of doing this.

    At the very least I hope all the promotion coming from these republican clowns supporting the filthy supplement industry will lead to more rigorous critical scientific inquiry into the garbage snake oil insanity that this industry has become. It’s no different than the unregulated advertising industry of the early 1900s where companies could say legally say their food products could cure illness and enhance performance.

        They defunded all research in all diseases. In about 6 years, the pipelines will dry up and there will be no new drugs.

    Did anyone believe it was ever linked to autism? I saw it as Trump buying a shitload of Tylenol shares and then doing his political dystopic dance to manipulate the stock market (yet again) and rake in more cash.

    It was already disproven the second it was claimed, by being made up with no credible data or research
