Did Tylenol turn Trump into a pedofile?

Well FFS its as good an argument as any at this point. Medicine has now become subjective.

I'm relatively certain, and I'm no Doctor nor am I a park ranger nor do I play one on TV, but I'm relatively certain that if Tylenol was this fearsomely Toxic that someone who is both at least semi-literate and not a complete moron would have probably figured it out by now.

Well eff. Why didn't Trump say this earlier so the UCP didn't have to buy all that turkish autism drug.

Ingraham: They said you took $50,000 in cash in a bag from an undercover FBI agent…

Homan: I did nothing criminal or illegal.

I think it would be funny if SNL simply did the press conference word for word, not changing a single thing

Trump trying to say acetaminophen, hilarious.

Watching him try and pronounce acetaminophen may have broken my brain.

Fun fact, people who know what they are talking about, knew they were going to lie about Tylenol and pre-debunked this lie 2 weeks ago.

The review includes data on 185,909 children. They found a very small increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders with Tylenol use in pregnancy, however this link disappeared when they did a sibling control analysis:

Similarly, there was no evidence of a dose-response pattern in sibling control analyses. For example, for autism, compared with no use of acetaminophen

Of course, data never proves a zero risk – it can only set limits on the potential size of the risk. So the scientific way of saying this is – the risk is below the threshold of statistical detection for existing data. But that data is now pretty robust, so any remaining potential risk is negligible

We also have to recognize that untreated fever and pain during pregnancy is not risk free. In medicine, anything you do – or do not do – carries some risk. This is why all risk assessment is actually a risk vs benefit assessment. There very likely can be unintended consequences of scaring expectant mothers from treating pain or fever during pregnancy, with a risk that is somewhere between negligible and zero.

RFK has shown, over and over again, that he has no idea how to properly interpret the medical literature. He uses scientific evidence as the proverbial drunk uses a lamppost – for support rather than illumination.

Well they had to blame something… otherwise they’d look like bumbling idiots who are way out of their depth…

Autism Science Foundation Statement on White House Announcement on Autism

https://autismsciencefoundation.org/...t-wh-briefing/

We are deeply concerned by today’s announcements from President Trump and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy suggesting that taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) during pregnancy causes autism, that a medicine derived from folate can be used to treat symptoms of autism, and that vaccines should be broken up over multiple visits and MMR broken into separate shots.

“Any association between acetaminophen and autism is based on limited, conflicting, and inconsistent science and is premature,” said Autism Science Foundation Chief Science Officer Dr. Alycia Halladay. “This claim risks undermining public health while also misleading families who deserve clear, factual information. For many years, RFK and President Trump have shared their belief that vaccines cause autism, but this is also not supported by the science, which has shown no relationship between vaccines and autism.”

“We are unsure why this announcement came today and how the conclusions were drawn,” added Alison Singer, President of the Autism Science Foundation. “No new data or scientific studies were presented or shared. No new studies have been published in the literature. No new presentations on this topic were made at scientific or medical conferences. Instead, President Trump talked about what he thinks and feels without offering scientific evidence. He said “tough it out”, meaning don’t take Tylenol or give it to your child. It took me straight back to when moms were blamed for autism. If you can’t take the pain or deal with a fever, then it’s your fault if your child has autism. That was shocking. Simply shocking.”

“What was said today was dangerous”, added Dr. Halladay. “President Trump and Secretary Kennedy downplayed the complexity of autism and suggested that autism rates would decline if pregnant women stopped taking Tylenol and if parents spaced out childhood vaccines. He claimed there were no downsides to these behaviors, which is inconsistent with longstanding public health practices.”

Most voters in America voted for this.

You get what you voted for. Enjoy being "governed".

Trump giving his usual improv speech to the UN. All the hits!

[missdpuck]

Yes, it’s insane! And the watchers in the chat I’m in don’t seem to see how many times he contradicts himself.

I wish they’d show the attendees more, so many obviously trying to hide their laughter:

[puffnstuff]

Trying to top the insanity of yesterdays autism presser. Not sure he is gonna do it...but he is trying.

Trump: "I'm really good at predicting things. During the campaign they had a hat -- a best-selling hat -- 'Trump was right about everything.' And I don't say that in a braggadocios way, but it's true. I've been right about everything."

Trump was harder on allies than Russia and China, says ‘your countries are going to hell.’

President Donald Trump says Christianity is “the most persecuted religion on the planet today.”

Some murmurs and groans as President Donald Trump attacks efforts to curb climate change and the “green energy scam.”

This guy gets it.

They've showed time and again that they will manipulate markets shamelessly to enrich themselves. That's why all these people around him put up with his ####, because they get rich.

A week from now they'll redact the statement and not even blink an eye.

Trump to the UN: "Europe loses more than 175,000 to heat deaths every year because the costs are so expensive you can't turn on an air conditioner. What is that all about? That's not Europe. That's not the Europe that I love and know. All in the name of pretending to stop the global warming hoax."

So is it killing 175000 people in Europe or is it a hoax?

That link takes me nowhere.

Not being a piece of #### is pretty high on my list of what makes women physically attractive.
