Thousands of pregnant liberal women are now deliberately overdosing on Tylenol in protest to the Trump administration and to promote “autism awareness.”
Per United States Department of Health and Human Services (emphasis added):
“Speaking from the Roosevelt Room today, President Donald J. Trump and U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced bold new actions to confront the nation’s autism spectrum disorder (ASD) epidemic, which has surged nearly 400% since 2000 and now affects 1 in 31 American children…
HHS will act on acetaminophen. Today, the FDA will issue a physician notice and begin the process to initiate a safety label change for acetaminophen (Tylenol and similar products). HHS will launch a nationwide public service campaign to inform families and protect public health. The FDA is responding to prior clinical and laboratory studies that suggest a potential association between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes…
Given the conflicting literature and lack of clear causal evidence, HHS wants to encourage clinicians to exercise their best judgment in use of acetaminophen for fevers and pain in pregnancy by prescribing the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration when treatment is required.”
Thedailybell.com reports: The HHS, in its release, cited a cohort study from the noted bastion of anti-vaxx conspiracy theories, the American Medical Association.
Via JAMA Psychiatry (emphasis added):
“This prospective cohort study analyzed 996 mother-infant dyads, a subset of the Boston Birth Cohort, who were enrolled at birth and followed up prospectively at the Boston Medical Center from October 1, 1998, to June 30, 2018…
Cord biomarkers of fetal exposure to acetaminophen were associated with significantly increased risk of childhood ADHD and ASD [autism spectrum disorder] in a dose-response fashion. Our findings support previous studies regarding the association between prenatal and perinatal acetaminophen exposure and childhood neurodevelopmental risk.”
Sadly, the Social Justice™ people, great respecters of The Science™, you’ll be shocked to learn, did not take the news well.
Buckle up, boys and girls.
We’re headed to crazytown with no brakes.
First, a sampling of a common species of denialism:
“The term autism was first introduced by Eugen Bleuler in his description of schizophrenia in 1911. Tylenol came on the market in 1960. Kennedy is a conspiracy theory spouting moron.”
