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. […]

    That is not satire so much, the admin is taking under the table payments from everyone. Too bad everyone is so cowed or we could expose it, layers of shell corps by prez’s greasy lawyer fixers.

    We have a mobster prez, which is not good or cool despite the dumbass movies you might have seen. Organized crime makes things more expensive and less useful, they are purely parasitical, outside of providing black market needs.

    Prez is also blackmailing, lifelong but his prez terms supercharged his collections and ability to make the exposed dirt to get infected as prez so to speak. Israel and russia are blackmailing our polits too. This is why you do not elect cynical crooks to office.

    I don’t even need to look to know their stock is tanking. I don’t need an article, even an Onion article, to know that some in Congress are getting richer off of this right now.

      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.
