    Too bad we have a president who can't act, read and speak better than a third grader:

    Well at least he didn’t claim bleach was the cure. When I first heard him ranting about Tylenol – I thought he must be getting a kick back from somebody. What makes me sick is Trump once claimed to be the Fertilization president – but he will let the woman go through extra pain so he can make a buck. Cheers!

    He's taken dumbf*ckery to astounding new levels. Honestly, I'm just happy to be living in the now peaceful Aber...berjan, and can holiday in Cambodia since the war with Armenia is finally over.

    I hope your country hasn't fallen for the Green Energy hoax and is using clean, beautiful coal.

    We had, yes. Hook, line and sinker! However, yesterday, we started burning piles of paracetamol/Tylenol at power stations to offset those nasty solar panels, and bird killing wind turbines.

    It is not just the Tylenol. It is the vaccines. AND when you take your child to get their shots, they tell you to go ahead and give them Tylenol to help with aches and possibility of fever.

    They're talking about not taking Tylenol during PREGNANCY - not after the child gets the vaccine.  I take it you didn't vaccinate your kids.  Well, let me tell you that I had mumps, measles, rubella, chicken pox and whooping cough because I had them before there were vaccines.  None of it was fun.

    Not only during pregnancy, they were also talking about children taking it. 

    I vaccinated my children. This is how I know they tell you to give them Tylenol ahead of time.   If I had children today, I would be more hesitant about the vaccines.  And I know they would not get as many as are being demanded currently.  
    For example the at birth Hep shot would be a no. It is not needed unless the Mother has hep or is around druggies etc.  No covid or flu shots.  
    I had chicken pox as a child, so did my children. (Vaccine came out shortly after my children got it) but it being new, I would not have given it to them anyway. This post was edited by my2cents at September 23, 2025 11:54 AM MDT

    A child who has already been born who is given Tylenol would not develop autism AFTER BIRTH.  

    Women should listen to their doctors about what should or shouldn't be taken and when, not someone with absolutely NO MEDICAL TRAINING and who has a history of a brain worm, heroin addiction, etc. and Trump is not a medical professional either.  In fact, he isn't any kind of professional at all.

    When Texas lifted the vaccination requirement, there was a measles outbreak and I believe two children died.  Is that what you want?   Measles was declared non-existent in the US for decades.  Stop giving the other vaccines and you'll have the same problem.  But, hey - it won't affect your kids, so what the heck.

    As I said I do not think Tylenol is the big cause.   I think it is too many vaccines combined with the TYLENOL use at the time of the vaccines.  This post was edited by my2cents at September 24, 2025 8:35 AM MDT

    A child is either born autistic (because it is GENETIC) or it isn't.  Vaccines are given AFTER a baby is born.  Try doing some research on this from a reputable source, not some brain-addled heroin addict and his cohorts.

    The fact is they do not know the cause(s). They are studying it and there are numerous possibilities.   
    1. Being Tylenol during pregnancy 
    2. Heavy metal poisoning (Lead and mercury primarily)
    3. Aluminum (This is everywhere from food, foil, pots/pans, beverages, and yes vaccines)  

    It is not just genetics or there could be no identical twins who one has autism and the other does not.

    Did you think Trump would stop at just telling women not to take it?  Link to transcript below. I .Ike to footnote my sources.

    Leucovorin is a possible treatment for some with autism.  Not a cure. 
    It is NOT being sold by Dr Oz.  LEUCOVORIN is only available as a prescription.  

    Folic acid supplements are and have been available for a long time from any company that sellers supplements....from GNC to Walmart to Dr Oz.

    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9066494/

    This study shows a link to Tylenol, and other analgesics to increased Premature delivery (<37 weeks), stillbirth, neonatal death, birth weight, standardised birthweight score, neonatal unit admission, APGAR score at 1 and 5 min, neural tube and amniotic band defects, gastroschisis and, in males, cryptorchidism and hypospadias. 


    Neural tube defects have been linked to autism. Of course,  not the defects result in autism. No one is speaking in absolutes.  But there are studies that suggest at link. 

    This is not the only study but it is a large one studying over 100K pregnancies.

    This is from 2017 - couldn't you find anything more current?  Probably not, because the SCIENCE doesn't support it.

    This from the COMPANY they say pregnant women should not take their products.   Why do you think that is? 

    Perhaps, it effects the baby. And they know it. And known it since at least 2017.

    I gave you link to a large study showing it harms unborn babies. 

    If also harms babies when taken with vaccines. This post was edited by my2cents at September 24, 2025 3:54 PM MDT

    "In a statement to NewsRadio 1080 KRLD, Kenvue writes:

    "This post from 2017 is being taken out of context. We do not recommend pregnant women take any medication without talking to their doctor. This is consistent with the regulations and product label for acetaminophen."

    Federal regulators have also weighed in. Earlier this year, the FDA issued a notice acknowledging some studies that suggest a possible association between prenatal acetaminophen use and neurological conditions, but emphasized that a causal link has not been established.

    Medical experts continue to recommend acetaminophen as the preferred over-the-counter pain reliever for pregnant women when used as directed, noting that alternatives such as ibuprofen or aspirin carry known risks."

    https://www.audacy.com/krld/news/national/tylenols-2017-tweet-on-pregnancy-resurfaces

    EDIT TO ADD"

    In more than two decades of research on the use of acetaminophen in pregnancy, not a single reputable study has successfully concluded that the use of acetaminophen in any trimester of pregnancy causes neurodevelopmental disorders in children,” Steven Fleischman, president of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), said in a statement Monday.

    https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/5518478-tylenol-acetaminophen-pregnancy-risks/

    "Among those who share Braverman’s opinion that Tylenol use during pregnancy does not cause autism are the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine, and the national medication-safety authorities of the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Australia.

    Supporting their view is recent peer-reviewed research, such as a study involving 2.5 million Swedish children published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in August and a Japanese study of 217,000 children published earlier this month. Both found no relationship between maternal acetaminophen use and autism."

    Because there is a possible risk to the baby.  Yes with any thing we decide if the risk out weighs the benefits. 

    For example a fever needs treated.  And Tylenol is currently what they say is safest of the possible choices. And the fever itself can harm the baby if untreated. 

    But a Mother who has a chronic pain to treat would not want to use Tylenol throughout their pregnancy, she would want to use a non drug  way to deal with the pain.  Ie. Excerise, stretching, ice, heat etc.

    Harvard says it is a risk and Mother's should use minimum dose for shortest time possible.

    And this is the most important p0iece of advice:

    Harvard says it is a risk and Mother's should use minimum dose for shortest time possible

    This is far different than Trump saying that Tylenol shouldn't be used at all.  Do you see the diffeece?
