Apparently someone of Kenvue Inc. (owner of the Tylenol brand) forgot to pay the bribe.
Next week it will be some random product that Bayer makes that may or may not be linked to autism.

That’s what happens when a snake oil salesman is given a government job.

Speed running government distrust so they can begin auctioning off the public sector and taking their sweet cut

I know! Is the only way to get decent peanut butter in some countries. Guess I’m going to have to learn how to make peanut butter.

Wait iHerb is a Dr. Oz company? Dang, I’ve used them several times, gotta remember to avoid them in the future
Dionysus@leminal.space 6 hours ago
It’s a really bad move by iHerb. They made him a brand ambassador or some shit in 2023. The company was doing fine then they had to get in bed with Brainworms’ buddy.
You can find all sorts of info on the press releases. Bunch of really lame brain marketing bullshit.

Regardless of who owns it, I’m not sure I would trust any other supplement marketplace. I’m never buying supplements from Amazon ever again.

Ugh, and folinic acid is just a vitamin that can, in some cases and conditions, help with some language processing issues.
Like it can help with apraxia. It’s not a cure for autism. Or anything.

The was quite literally the playbook of Andrew Wakefield when he published the 1998 fraudulent paper in the Lancet that purported to link MMR vaccines to autism, kicking off our entire modern round of anti-vax nonsense.
He stood make millions selling test kits to people suddenly fearful of vaccination, IIRC. They’re all scum, seeking to rake in money on the very fears they’ve stoked.

Finally we are seeing real American healthcare. This was never about healing or helping people and this is the real reason why we make so much drugs.

I think this is based on poor understanding of genetics. A lot of neurodivergent people have mutations in a gene (MTHFR) that deals with processing folate. Taking folic acid if you have decreased ability to process it can actually cause health problems. I’m not sure what the difference is for folinic acid, but this just all sounds very pharma-bro and unscientific to me

You should watch hbomber vid on vaccines and autism if you are prepared for a bit of rage. It’s def not based on any science or any poor understanding

Grifters are going to grift. Using the government to grift doesn’t surprise me.
What hurts the most is how many people are so desperate that they are going to buy into some snake oil and not actually get any help.

So are they going to ban Tylenol? Isn’t it one of the most common OTC painkillers?
thejml@sh.itjust.works 7 hours ago
I believe they say it’s only for the pregnant mothers taking it causing autism to their unborn babies.
This perfectly fits into all MAGA’s Project 2025 tenants:
- Women don’t matter and Women’s healthcare should be reduced and their bodies controlled
- Don’t care about babies that have been born, just the unborn ones
- Blame things without any evidence to enforce solutions that profit the companies who pay into the administration and people who have been appointed there.

Don’t forget children! So many kids are going to get brain damage or die because Trump just went up with a bunch of disgraced doctors and told people not to give any fever reducers unless absolutely necessary
shalafi@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
Moving forward, the CDC will merely advise against pregnant mother’s taking acetaminophen. Dumb, but not the bog deal many are making it out to be. The antivax shit is 10,000 times worse.

Acetaminophen (ingredient in Tylenol) has patent that already expired, so anyone can produce it. Yeah, Johnson and Johnson owns the brand, but at this point I don’t think it would affect their stock.

How can “Dr. Oz” sell folinic acid? Isn’t it prescription-only in the US?
ragebutt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 hour ago
Leucovorin is the prescription version and is much higher dosage (mg range) whereas supplements are much lower (mcg range). This potentially clears a path for Dr oz to sell way more folinic acid (like literally 1000x more) or opens the door for a few manufacturers of generic leucovorin (gsk is the original but basically abandoned it years ago)

Could have been worse, like realizing it’s genetic and issuing mandatory sterilizations to both the autistic people and their parents.
