Title: Paracetamol and Pregnancy - Lies From Trump Post by greggerypeccary on Sep 23rd, 2025 at 11:40am More conspiracy theories from Trump, RFK Jr. and "Dr" Oz. Trump links autism to acetaminophen use during pregnancy, despite decades of evidence it’s safe President Donald Trump announced Monday that the US Food and Drug Administration will notify doctors that the use of Tylenol during pregnancy can be associated with a “very increased risk of autism,” despite decades of evidence that it is safe. “They are strongly recommending that women limit Tylenol use during pregnancy unless medically necessary,” such as to treat fever, “if you can’t tough it out,” Trump said. Experts say there are multiple causes of autism, and the science showing a connection between autism and Tylenol is not settled. |

Yes, many lives will be put at risk and many women will suffer unnecessarily. He is extremely dangerous. "Trump did not keep his remarks to Tylenol during pregnancy. He advocated for breaking up childhood vaccinations and even pushing back the hepatitis B shot for newborns — a public health strategy that brought the infection in children to the brink of elimination — to age 12." |

Almost as bad as their ban on abortions even in the case of rape or incest.

That ban of abortions even extends to where the woman’s waters break before the fetus has developed lungs. It is not viable but in no-abortion states the woman has to carry the dead fetus until sepsis is so bad it puts the woman’s life at risk.
I have read some real horror stories since the abortion ban in too many US states. |

True, Greggery, a lot of people are saying that. I knew this pill addict once, and she popped out a complete retard.
Could have been the father, I suppose. He was a Muslim. But do you know? There is a cure. Hydroxychloraquine has been proven to cure autism in a significant percent of studies. Dr Stella Immanuel of the Praying Doctors was saying this only recently. Not only has she treated retardation, she's helped parents cure their children's hommersexuality and other demonic mental disorders. RFK's considering Dr Stella to head the FDA. The big fella likes the idea. She may help with the black vote in 2026. Also, she wears a stethoscope. He likes that. ![]() |

In 2023 there was a class action lawsuit against the maker of Tylenol, alleging use during pregnancy led to birth disorders and autism.
A federal judge blocked the evidence from being presented, effectively ending the case. Thats odd 🤔 |

Serial. I think it's correlation, not causation.
If you get the flu or ill during pregnancy. Or if you are superstressed by something and get headaches. You might take paracetamol. But it's the underlying stress hormones, cortisol, poor sleep, adrenaline, that might harm the baby , not the paracetamol. In fact if it lowers the temp, it's probably a net benefit. Donny should probably stick to what he does best. Persuading people to be patriotic. He has certainly struck a chord in Italy where the patriotic PM is modelling herself on him, deporting all the illegals and will undoubtedly make the country a richer tourism destination. Donny is a chubby man. He shouldn't be lecturing on health. |

Title: Re: Paracetamol and Pregnancy - Lies From Trump Post by mothra on Sep 28th, 2025 at 9:45am
Paracetamol use during pregnancy not linked to autism, our study of 2.5 million children shows
Published: September 25, 2025 5.45am AEST United States President Donald Trump recently claimed that using the common painkiller acetaminophen (also known as paracetamol and by the brand name Tylenol in the US) during pregnancy is fuelling the rise in autism diagnoses. He then went on to suggest pregnant women should “tough it out” rather than use the common painkiller if they experience fever or pain. This announcement has caused alarm and confusion worldwide. But despite Trump’s claim, there is no strong scientific evidence to back it up. Our study of nearly 2.5 million births in Sweden published in 2024 shows no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy increases a child’s risk of autism. This is the largest study conducted on the subject to date. To understand whether acetaminophen really poses a risk in pregnancy, we turned to Sweden’s national health registers, which are among the most comprehensive in the world. Our study followed nearly 2.5 million children born between 1995 and 2019, tracking them for up to 26 years. Using prescription records and interviews that midwives conducted during prenatal visits, we could see which mothers reported using acetaminophen (about 7.5% of pregnancies) and which did not. We also made sure to account for any variables that may have affected the results of our statistical analysis – including controlling for health factors, such as fever or pain, which would have influenced whether or not a mother used acetaminophen during her pregnancy. This was to ensure a more fair comparison between the two groups. We then looked at the children’s neurodevelopmental outcomes – specifically whether they were diagnosed with autism, ADHD or an intellectual disability. The real strength of our study came from being able to compare siblings. This allowed us to compare children born to the same mother, where acetaminophen had been used during one child’s pregnancy but not the other. We compared over 45,000 sibling pairs, where at least one sibling had an autism diagnosis. This sibling design is powerful because siblings share much of their genetics and family environment. This allows us to tease apart whether the drug itself – rather than underlying family traits or health conditions – is responsible for any apparent risks for neurodevelopmental outcomes. Acetaminophen use When we first looked at the entire population, we saw a pattern that echoed earlier studies: children whose mothers reported using acetaminophen during pregnancy were slightly more likely to be diagnosed with autism, ADHD or an intellectual disability. But once we ran the sibling comparisons, that association completely disappeared. In other words, when we compared sets of siblings where one was exposed in the womb to acetaminophen and one was not, there was no difference in their likelihood of later being diagnosed with autism, ADHD or an intellectual disability. Our study is not the only one to put this question to the test. Researchers in Japan recently published a study using a similar sibling-comparison design, and their results closely matched ours. Importantly, they replicated our findings in a population with a different genetic background and where patterns of acetaminophen use during pregnancy are quite different. Nearly 40% of mothers in Japan reported using the drug during pregnancy. In comparison, less than 10% of Swedish mothers had used it. Despite these differences, the conclusion was the same. When siblings are compared, there is no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy increases the risk of autism or ADHD. These findings mark an important shift from earlier studies, which relied on more limited data, used smaller cohorts and didn’t account for genetic differences. They also did not fully account for why some mothers used pain relief during pregnancy while others didn’t. For example, mothers who take acetaminophen are more likely to also have migraines, chronic pain, fever or serious infections. These are conditions that are themselves genetically linked to autism or ADHD, as well as a child’s likelihood of later being diagnosed with one of these conditions. These types of “confounding factors” can create associations that look convincing on the surface, but may not reflect a true cause-and-effect relationship. That brings us to the real question on many people’s minds: what does this mean if you’re pregnant and dealing with pain or fever? It’s important to recognise that untreated illness during pregnancy can be dangerous. A high fever in pregnancy, for example, is known to increase the risk of complications for both mother and baby. “Toughing it out,” as the president suggested, is not a risk-free option. That’s why professional medical organisations such as the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency continue to recommend acetaminophen (paracetamol) as the safest fever reducer and pain reliever during pregnancy when used at the lowest effective dose and only when necessary. This has been the guidance for decades. https://theconversation.com/paracetamol-use-during-pregnancy-not-linked-to-autism-our-study-of-2-5-million-children-shows-265919 |

Nope it was your claim. that there was no nexus between tylenol and autism. So for the study to be true, all data should reflect that. So autism is not a good indicator of siblings suffering it.
