In a live broadcast Donald Trump has advised pregnant mothers to avoid acetaminophen unless they cannot "tough out" fevers. The department of health and human services and the FDA is now claiming the readily available fever and pain medication causes autism.

Acetaminophen is currently considered the safest medication for pain and fever relief in pregnancy, with no prior directives or large body of research to support Trump's claims.

This comes at a time when Trump's make America healthy again (MAHA) czar RFK JR continues his push to end insurance coverage for vaccines and limit vaccine availability to mothers who wish to continue the old US vaccine schedule.

 
This is the same moron that suggested shots of bleach could cure COVID. His idiocy knows no bounds whatsoever. And his few remaining followers are the only ones dumb enough to follow his and RFK's health advice.
 
And that's part of why, ladies and gentlemen, the USA has become the laughingstock of the world. Instead of making the best of your country run your government you did your best to make sure it's actually the worst you have who got the job.

Just imagine: the USA has a great history of scientific accomplishments but it will most likely be actually remembered for generations to come for this idiot and his sycophant clown show. Well played, well played ...
 
So...just to let you all know since medical science is my area of expertise, acetaminophen is similar to ibuprofen, but is not as widespread in its effects.

It is essentially a man-made chemical derived from a much more effective and natural one: lemon juice.

In our culture, lemon juice is well-known for its ability to normalize the body's PH levels at optimal healing amounts, though it can cause dehydration.

Ibuprofen is less effective, and dehydrates significantly more, but still tries to get the job done: if an unarmed man fought a completely unskilled melee assailant by using sport-kwon-do, he still has the advantage, but military Tae-Kwon-Do is on a level of its own. Likewise for ibuprofen and acetaminophen being inferior to lemon juice but still effective (though I try to avoid them at all costs since they dehyrate me quickly and lemon juice is far superior for what I require).

So, unless all lemons are banned for something they do not cause and proven otherwise, this is medically and factually incorrect. Also, for years, liberalism has been faking diagnoses of Autism; the number is far lower than what the data (Texas sharpshooter fallacy strikes again!) shows; that is unfortunately how many places get their high(ly illegal) funding for the number of people with Autism who actually never had it (A shame that I could not record a meeting in which this was outright revealed to me by an admin back when I was a skeptic of this conspiracy, until there it was right there in front of me; I left that place in a heartbeat after they wanted me in on the fake diagnoses to "cheat" a "couple of million from the State" each year and I obviously declined and packed my bags before they could try to eliminate me). Like service dogs versus pets, an expert can tell right away when someone was given a fake Autism diagnosis.

How many times must I tell you that the back of the dollar bill still yet says: "IN GOD WE TRUST"; where is your Faith? Is it in youtube, tiktok, discord, ancient Rome, the dynasties of China, or is it where it should be, like with The Apostles who focus on what is still here long after many kingdoms rose and fell? Do you think they argued over who should be a consul, or who should be Caesar? We have far more Eternal concerns to focus on than mere worldly and physical power struggles that have been here for thousands of years and have done what they always do.

"Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence."

This among many other reasons make me think, if people voted for this guy, how much worse can they be?

That listing of this guy's stupidity is getting huge!
Idk if it can get worse

Said:
We should nuke hurricanes
Inject bleach to cure COVID
Turn Gaza into a fabulous beach side resort
He could end the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 1 day
He would build a wall and make Mexico pay for it
Immigrants are eating cats and dogs
Albania and Cambodia are at war
Etc etc

It can get way worse, and it will if the people do nothing.

Someone way wiser than me said ""All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing"". It was true back in the 19th century and is true today.
 
If, and this is a big IF, there is evidence of causation between the two, then it's a good idea to do something about it.

But it's damn near impossible to take RFK serious on anything health related. There have been studies on this, but nothing showing causation. The people who took Acetaminophen often did so because they had fever, infection, migraine, or other conditions.

They could do a large scale study with control groups before talking to the FCC, but no, they want to just do what they FEEL is correct.
 
Autism shouldnt be considered a disease in the first place
It was considered one as a protective act; the experts _know_ that it is not a disease, but classified it with DSM criteria to provide extra protection, but even in the times of Nazi Germany, Hans Asperger convinced the Nazi's to not kill us (mind you, he did so because he saw those "little professor"s as a means to design war machines that could make Nazi Germany even more powerful than it already became; it was no charity cause).

I have no doubt that Mozart had Autism also.

The only risk I know of that has legitimate independently-reviewed evidence for being linked to autism is if a mother has their child late in life, in their late 30s or so. This was the case for my wife and I, as well as our siblings.

Autism is not a disease and never has been. And anyone who says it is should think twice because chances are many of the people contributing to console modding and video game hacking, on this website, have it.
 
I got curious, and after a bit of searching found a paper regarding this topic:

https://ehjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12940-025-01208-0

It should be taken with a grain of salt though, since they didn't conduct any tests themselves, instead they compiled every medical research paper they could find where the terms acetaminophen and autism/ADHD were used. according to the paper, from 46 studies, 27 seem to link acetaminophen to an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders.
