  Direct from Wikipedia

  Paracetamol was first made in 1878 by Harmon Northrop Morse or possibly in 1852 by Charles Frédéric Gerhardt.

  The left has misinformation too. Science is on our side; there’s no reason to propagate this shit.

    It’s always about money.

    Wonder what the announcement will be? Wonder which drug they’ll push and which of Trumps cronies will own the pharma company

  Literally no Americans know what paracetamol is. Randomly ask anyone.

  Americans know brand names: Tylenol, Advil, Prilosec, Ambien.

  I’ll bet you could survey Americans and 999/100 have never even have heard the word paracetamol. Or zolpidem. Most won’t have heard anything but the brand names, and the brand names have been drilled into their heads by way of constant advertising.

  US brands have spend stupid amounts of money making sure people think of their propriety name instead of the real name of any drug.

    Nobody would’ve heard paracetamol, but you’d probably get some hits with acetaminophen. Not a lot, to be clear, but some.

    Americans know “paracetamol” about as well as you apparently know “acetaminophen”.

    They are the same compound.

    “Paracetamol” is the generic term used in Europe and Australia. “Acetaminophen” is the generic term commonly used in the Americas.

      Both are slightly less clunky words created from the corpse of “N-acetyl-para-aminophenol”

      “Acetaminophen” takes the “acet” from “acetyl” and “aminophen” from “aminophenol”.

      “Paracetamol” takes the “para” part, and then a few other random letters that don’t really make sence. “cet” from “acetyl”, and maybe “am” from the start of “amphenol” with the “ol” ending from the same word, ignoring that it ends in “nol”?

      Americans barely know ‘acetaminophen’ , too. Some, sure. Most know Tylenol.

    I know several Americans who know what paracetamol is. Not sure it’s as rare as you think.

    I know almost all my meds by the generic names because I’m broke and that’s what the pharmacy will give me. Ibuprofen, levothyroxine, etc. Alprazolam.

  The argument would be that autism is on the rise, not that it’s a new thing. I’m assuming this crowd understands the “rise” is from finer-tuned diagnoses. Hell, there may be another factor, but money says it ain’t Tylenol.
