Comment on Health Secretary Kennedy says there's 'not sufficient' proof to show Tylenol causes autism
Jhex@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoWhat “studies”? you are now literally making things up and pretending this is less clickbait?
A month later, Trump and Kennedy, neither of whom are doctors, held a press conference in September to specifically warn pregnant women against taking the medication without citing any scientific evidence.
Even the FDA, under these absolute morons, cannot come up with anything to throw at Acetaminophen
“The FDA is responding to prior clinical and laboratory studies that suggest a potential association between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes,” the agency said in its announcement. "FDA also recognizes that there are contrary studies showing no association and that there can be risks for untreated fever in pregnancy, both for the mother and fetus. "

From the OP article, emphasis mine.
Even the quote you shared says “prior clinical and laboratory studies”.

yes but they have provided no such “studies” to “suggest” this link… it is literally the opinion, without ANY SUBSTANCE, of a guy who chooses to swim in black water

But they’re reporting on what he said, and what he said is that studies suggest a causal link. It doesn’t matter whether or not he’s lying about it. The headline as written suggests he’s changing his tune on the alleged Tylenol/autism connection, but he isn’t.

He is changing his tune now that lawsuits started flying
They outright came out saying Tylenol during pregnancy causes autism a few weeks back… now they acknowledge they are full of shit but added a “suggest” to save some face.
Again, the gist of this news is that he is backtracking. To expect they will quote everything he said in the headline is nonsense (specially when it literally is nonsense), otherwise you’d expect the headline to contain the entire article
