UK experts have condemned “fearmongering” in the US after it was reported Donald Trump’s administration will say there is a link between paracetamol use in pregnancy and autism.
Scientists have hit back, with one saying the claim “risks stigmatising families who have autistic children as having brought it on themselves”.
The Wall Street Journal reported that US health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr is expected to say Tylenol – which is paracetamol in the UK – is a potential cause of autism.
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.
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.
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.
It’s like people who say Tannoy, when they mean public address system
