What Trump idolizers won't do............

............. is actually study the science. We KNOW what will presented to us when RFKJr and Trump come out and tell people Tylenol causes Autism.

Yet my wife took Tylenol and our son - now 34 - never developed Autism. There is MORE evidence that environmental conditions could be the cause........

Prenatal exposure to air pollution or certain pesticides. Maternal obesity, diabetes, or immune system disorders. Extreme prematurity or very low birth weight. Any birth difficulty leading to periods of oxygen deprivation to the baby's brain.

I am not saying Tylenol may not contribute to Autism but wouldn't that - like everything else - depend on consumption? And what would replace Tylenol for pregnant women in pain? Since aspirin and Advil would be worse..........

AI search:
Yes, Advil (ibuprofen) and aspirin are generally considered worse than Tylenol (acetaminophen) for pregnant women because NSAIDs like ibuprofen and aspirin can pose pregnancy risks such as low amniotic fluid, fetal kidney problems, and complications like miscarriage.

However, the issue here is NOT whether we trust RFKJr. or those doctors and scientists who would disagree with his findings. The issue is the defense by those who trust everything Trump and RFKJr. and are ready to mock and ridicule who question their findings.

So, here is a link to some research and to a different point of view. I hope - though I doubt - that anyone interested in a different perspective will actually delve into the following link before just jumping in here with deflections and denials.

Some snippets from the link in comment 1......

The stories have focused on acetaminophen (also known as paracetamol or the brand name Tylenol) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as Prozac (fluoxetine) and Zoloft (sertraline).

But here is what the headlines leave out: acetaminophen is commonly used during pregnancy to manage fever, pain or stress, all of which can themselves affect fetal development. Similarly, SSRIs are prescribed for depression or anxiety, conditions that also influence pregnancy outcomes. In many cases, it may well be the illness, not the treatment, that shapes child development.

Both classes of medications have been studied extensively for decades. Yet despite what the headlines suggest, the evidence that acetaminophen or SSRIs cause autism is weak, inconsistent and easily misinterpreted.

Association is not causation​

Much of the research behind these headlines is observational. Such studies can spot associations but cannot prove cause and effect. The associations they identify are usually small to modest, and other factors are often responsible.

Confounding is a good example. Pregnant women may take acetaminophen because they have a fever, but fever itself has been linked to higher risks of neurodevelopmental outcomes such as neural tube defects. Similarly, someone prescribed SSRIs may be experiencing depression or anxiety, which on their own are associated with differences in pregnancy outcomes and child development. Here, the medication may appear to be the cause, when in reality it is the condition being treated.

It also matters what happens when pain, fever, depression or anxiety go untreated.

High fever in pregnancy is known to increase the risk of neural tube defects and other complications. Untreated maternal depression and anxiety can lead to poor prenatal care, substance use, preeclampsia, premature birth, impaired bonding and even suicide — one of the leading causes of maternal death.

In these cases, acetaminophen and SSRIs are not just helpful. They can be lifesaving.

Autism

Autism, also known as autism spectrum disorder, is a broad range of conditions that affect communication and behavior, usually appearing by age 2. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that autism affects 1 in 36 children.

Autism is not a scare story: What parents need to know about medications in pregnancy, genetic risk and misleading headlines

Recent reports about medication use in pregnancy may sound distressing, but reducing complex science to alarming headlines does more harm than good.

Study the science? I hope you do and do so in all the debates that fall into the scientific realm. It doesn't appear to be the norm for the left. Just make claims they never verify.

Yeah yeah yeah, you probably didn't read the link, nor were interested, instead you turned around and made it about the "left."
Your childish and petulant responses do NOTHING to contribute to the above discussion. If you want to continue your childish responses and make this about the "left" or about me, knock yourself out. I want no part of your asinine attitude.
