A pharmaceutical company formerly owned by Johnson & Johnson is reportedly sorely regretting missing their latest ‘protection money’ payments to the Trump administration, after US President Donald Trump today announced a supposed link between Tylenol (acetaminophen) use during pregnancy, and autism.

Despite numerous studies disputing such a connection, Trump has gone on record saying, “They are strongly recommending that women limit Tylenol use during pregnancy unless medically necessary,” effectively advising pregnant women to avoid Tylenol at all costs. […]

    About 1% down over the past day, up over 20% for the year.

    Only ones getting rich off of this are those who shorted and those with enough money to make gains off small changes. So about business as usual tbh.

        About what I said yesterday. People acting like the FDA made it illegal.

        Something funny, I kinda hate the term “evidence based”, especially when a medical professional uses it on me. “Yeah, I know, that’s called medicine.” Not mad at the pros, mad that I live in a world where saying that is necessary.

        When we had our daughter the nurse was extolling the virtues of vaccination. She went on for some time until I lost patience. (This wasn’t stated as harshLY as it reads.) “We know. We’re not retarded. Hit her with everything ya got, on whatever recommended schedule.” LMAO! She froze and stared at me like I had lost my mind, looked at my ex-wife who was nodding vigorously.

        Funny, but sad that they have to convince people. Antivaxers simply didn’t exist when I was a child, or at least they kept their bullshit to themselves or they’d get laughed out of the room. This was pre-internet when you could punch someone in the face for talking stupid shit.
