This might actually be a tough case considering there are some studies that link it. The standards for proving defamation in the US are pretty high. Idek if you can sue the government for defamation 💀

The data shows there’s a correlation between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and neurodevelopmental disorders, which most likely is only bc we understand autism more so there’s more diagnoses and more women take tylenol now bc it’s the only safe option. Tylenol use going up and autism rates going up being correlated doesn’t mean all that much when there’s a billion other factors. So a normal person saying Tylenol causes autism may actually be grounds. But you’re right idk about suing the Gov

They need to look at risks of Zoloft and zofran. A lot of medications interfere with prenatal development, if simple supplements and herbs can fuck with a fetus, why do people trust big pharma so fucking much? Tylenol is the #1 leading cause of cirrhosis of the liver and general liver disease.

It’s medicine that was approved for pregnancies later being revealed as bad. There are similarities we shouldn’t just blatantly trust big pharma.

The US did not approve it, which is another reason the two shouldn’t be compared. Tylenol has been thoroughly tested and approved to be safely used during pregnancy.

Right, so what you said was not correct information. It was never approved in the US for use during pregnancy. Unlike Tylenol, which is and has been for years and years. So I guess the use of coloring the two would be to show we should trust approved and rigorously tested medications.

Dawg it’s not big pharma, I’m referencing hundreds of credible studies done by government and private research teams, all corroborating each others’ conclusions. Thats why the approval, or lack thereof, makes it such a different case

You can clearly use a phone and type, you do that yourself. I’m not your professor, I don’t need to cite common knowledge facts because you’re too lazy to do the quick research yourself. I’ve also done the work myself already, I don’t see why it’s my responsibility to do it for you as well.

It shouldn’t be taken Willy nilly I don’t think anyone sees my point. Anything can be good if it’s life saving the issue is that people just think it’s safe so they can take it at the smallest chance of pain or headache and that’s not good
