Going left to right, top to bottom...

1. Headline says that the study supports some of the evidence used in a study that linked acetaminophen to autism. It did NOT say that it supported that conclusion. From the article: "While the study does not show that acetaminophen directly causes neurodevelopmental disorders, the research team’s findings strengthen the evidence for a connection and raise concerns about current clinical practices."

i.e., exactly what the doctor said in the video spidermayin posted.

2. The article says that there MAY be a link between tylenol use and ADHD, and that additional research is needed. "However, since fever during pregnancy may itself be associated with adverse gestational outcomes, given the present level of uncertainty about the ADHD risk with acetaminophen, it is suggested that, until more data are available, the use of acetaminophen in pregnancy should not be denied in situations in which the need for the drug is clear.

3. Ditto. "one explanation for the increased prevalence of autism is that increased exposure to acetaminophen, exacerbated by inflammation and oxidative stress, is neurotoxic in babies and small children."

4. The report cited in the article suggests that there may be a correlation between tylenol and autism. Again, more research needed.

5. research is on tylenol and ADHD; autism not mentioned in the abstract. Furthermore, the association between tylenol and ADHD primarily occured in people who took tylenol continuously for 22+ days. And after 22+ straight days of tylenol, I'd be surprised if they're weren't complications; or whatever necessitated that kind of usage caused issues.

6. I quote: "The potential etiological role of early acetaminophen exposure on Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is inconclusive."

7. An article reporting on another study.

8. Can't find the article.

9. article is about tylenol and ADHD, not autism.

So here's where we are: There may be some kind of correlation between tylenol use during pregnancy and neuodivergent conditions such as ADHD and autism.

But does that warrant not using tylenol at all? Tylenol gets recommended because aspirin and NSAIDs like ibuprofen and naproxen have documented risks. Clearly, the prudent thing is to use tylenol as directed by your doctor. Trump's claim that women should not use tylenol AT ALL is just another one of his BS claims that is likely to do more harm than good. And he really can't claim that he's doing this to improve public health--if that were his goal, he wouldn't have slashed funding for medical research. All he cared about was that the camera was on him.

What the research says about autism and acetaminophen use during pregnancy

Dr. Zeyan Liew, PhD, MPH, is one of the country's leading scientists when it comes to studying possible links between frequent acetaminophen use during
ysph.yale.edu ysph.yale.edu

Several large observational studies have reported “associations” between frequent or prolonged acetaminophen use during pregnancy and higher rates of neurodevelopmental disorders in children. But experts emphasize that these studies are not conclusive. Other factors, such as underlying illness or genetic predisposition, could also play a role in the development of autism. Until more definitive research is completed, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the CDC continue to recommend acetaminophen as the safest over-the-counter pain reliever for pregnant women.

Agreed.

I simply posted this to show this isn't something they pulled from thin air (as I said in the post itself).

Is it possible that Tylenol is a cause of neurodivergence? It appears it's possible.

But I've seen zero proof.

A guy that worked with my dad used to pop Tylenol like it was candy. He ended up having an aneurism.
 
The really good thing is that all of those anti-vaccination imbeciles can go get their shots now that it’s Tylenol causing all of the problems.
