The known anti-vaxxer is misinterpreting and exaggerating the connection, expert saysWelcome to Culture Clinic, MedPage Today's collaboration with Northwell Health to offer a healthcare professional's take on the latest viral medical topics. Actress and longtime anti-vaccine activist Jenny McCarthy took to social media to weigh in on recent debates about acetaminophen (Tylenol), vaccines, and autism, sharing her concerns about glutathione depletion. While some of McCarthy's claims are rooted in truth, an expert told MedPage Today that McCarthy mischaracterized the relationship between acetaminophen and glutathione and manipulated information to fit an agenda. McCarthy, who describes herself as "pro-safe vaccine," said in...

Trump derangement syndrome is a form of mental illness that can lead to serious health issues. When the administration brought to light studies suggesting that Tylenol might not be safe for pregnant women, pregnant liberals responded with videos of themselves gulping the drug: Potentially inflicting autism on their offspring is regarded as a small price to pay for an opportunity to defy the Nazi fascist extremist who is literally Hitler, Donald Trump. Trump will not be affected. It remains to be seen whether their children will be. As for the moonbats themselves: One pregnant moonbat is reportedly on a ventilator....

The pharmaceutical company behind Tylenol privately acknowledged the likelihood of an association between its drug in pregnancy and neurodevelopmental disorders like autism in children seven years ago, company documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation show.“The weight of the evidence is starting to feel heavy to me,” said Rachel Weinstein, U.S. director of epidemiology for Janssen, the pharmaceutical arm of Johnson & Johnson, in 2018. Johnson & Johnson marketed Tylenol at the time but in 2023 spun off its consumer products division into a separate company called Kenvue.Legacy media headlines and vocal public health experts have dismissed the conclusion...

A new study suggests that fetal exposure to acetaminophen significantly increases the risk of ADHD in children, raising concerns about its safety during pregnancy. While acetaminophen has long been considered a low-risk pain reliever for pregnant women, this research—tracking a cohort of over 300 mothers—found that children exposed to the drug had nearly double the likelihood of developing ADHD. The effect was even more pronounced in girls, though researchers are unsure why. Acetaminophen in Pregnancy: A Hidden Risk? A new study published in Nature Mental Health suggests that fetal exposure to acetaminophen may increase the risk of ADHD in children....

VIDEOOf all the STUPID things I've seen liberals do, this has to be towards the very top of the list. Pregnant liberal women swallowing Tylenol on camera in order to somehow refute Trump. DUMB! DUMB! DUMB! But that's why we call them DUmmies. They should feel especially STUPID because in 2020 even the CBC in Canada did a report WARNING about the consequences of taking Tylenol while pregnant. Yes, those same liberal pregnant liberals who disregarded Trump's warning now have to face the highly uncomfortable fact that Canadians in whom they seem to place their trust on medical matters also...

Pregnant women are filming themselves taking Tylenol in defiance against Donald Trump's shaky claim the painkiller causes autism in children. The president announced that doctors in the US will begin advising expectant mothers against taking the drug because of an apparent link. Trump, 79, claimed that taking Tylenol 'is no good', adding that pregnant women should 'fight like hell' to avoid taking it, except for in cases of extreme fever. Several moms have gone viral on TikTok for posting videos of themselves taking Tylenol in protest. 'Here's me, a PREGNANT woman, taking TYLENOL because I believe in science and not...

Tylenol has come under fresh scrutiny after a 2017 post resurfaced in which the brand appeared to warn pregnant women against using its products. The tweet, now being widely shared, stated: 'We actually don't recommend taking any of our products while pregnant.' It has been seized on by the White House just days after President Donald Trump claimed the common painkiller — known as generic paracetamol in Britain and generic acetaminophen in the US — may cause autism. His remarks provoked outrage from doctors, who said there is 'no robust evidence' for such claims. Britain's regulator, the MHRA, also stressed:...

Former President Barack Hussein Obama has chimed in on the Tylenol controversy, after President Donald Trump warned pregnant women not to take the drug (acetaminophen), citing research showing a link to autism in children. In a Thursday post to X, Obama defended the drug – writing that ‘broad claims around certain drugs and autism’ have been ‘continuously disproven,’ – and as such, ‘undermine public health, do harm to women who are pregnant,’ and ‘create anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic… We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been...

Trump Warns Against Using Your Toaster In Your Bathtub! Yes, I repeated the title because that's all the text there is. But you've got to watch this short Trump parody video with Shawn, speaking in Trump's voice, has the PERFECT warning to Americans. It' is freaking hilarious! Enjoy!

Taking two common painkillers may be raising your risk of suffering from a deadly bacterial infection, a study suggests. Ibuprofen, brand name Advil, and acetaminophen, brand name Tylenol, are readily-available over-the-counter drugs taken by millions every year to ease headaches, back and neck pain and fevers, among other ailments. But researchers in Australia warn that the drugs, sold for about 20 cents a pill, could turbocharge antibiotic resistance, making deadly bacterial infections harder to treat. In lab experiments, they found that the drugs made bacteria more resistant to a common antibiotic used to treat infections when used on their own...

Nicole Sirotek, founder of American Frontline Nurses, shared the tragic story of a pregnant woman who allegedly overdosed on Tylenol in an attempt to “prove Trump wrong” Nicole Sirotek, founder of American Frontline Nurses, claimed that she received a frantic 4 a.m. call from a distraught husband whose pregnant wife is now on a ventilator after overdosing on Tylenol. According to Sirotek, the woman, who was between 23 and 25 weeks pregnant, attempted to ingest massive amounts of Tylenol in an effort to “prove Donald Trump wrong” after his recent remarks linking acetaminophen use during pregnancy to autism. As The...

Hey y’all, welcome back to Unfit to Print. I stopped taking Tylenol years ago when I found out it can cause liver damage — I prefer to damage my liver with alcohol, thank you very much.

Conversation Derrick Evans @DerrickEvans4WV A woman 23–25 weeks pregnant, is now on a ventilator from liver failure—she was trying to “prove Trump wrong” about Tylenol & autism because of a TT trend. Doctors say they do NOT expect her to survive. It’s sad that someone could be this brainwashed

On Monday, President Donald Trump issued an advisory for pregnant women to refrain from taking Tylenol or at the very least cut back on their intake of it as a precaution due to a possible link between acetaminophen (Tylenol) and autism.The reaction to this announcement by the Associated Press that same day displayed an obvious animus that Science was dying. This fury was reflected in the headline of the AP story by Ali Swenson and Lauran Neergaard: "Trump makes unfounded claims about Tylenol and repeats discredited link between vaccines and autism."

In a bizarre "stand" against President Trump, liberal pregnant women have taken to social media, posting videos of themselves taking Tylenol. This comes after a major announcement on Monday, where the Trump administration said that they will no longer recommend pregnant women take Tylenol, as they believe it may increase the chances of a child being born with autism. Even if the announcement were untrue, why would these mothers risk hurting their children simply to rub it in President Trump's face? It is less of taking a stand, and more of just plain stupidity. This is Michelle Vu, MD. She...

An old post from an unlikely source has put liberals trying to prove they know better than the Trump Administration on science to shame and opened up the possibility they caused unintended harm to the most innocent. (snip) Following the historic announcement, pregnant leftists took to TikTok to mock Trump and RFK Jr’s warning about the drug. As one will see, X users collected several videos of these snarky libs popping Tylenol pills while acting like they’re performing some act of defiance.Talk about the height of arrogance with little regard for the little human being inside of them.

“The Trump Administration does not believe popping more pills is always the answer for better health. There is mounting evidence finding a connection between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism — and that’s why the Administration is courageously issuing this new health guidance. Additionally, the Trump Administration is approving a new treatment option that has been found to improve some autism symptoms. President Trump pledged to address America’s skyrocketing rates of autism, and his team is deploying Gold Standard Science to deliver on this pledge. We will not be deterred in these efforts as we know millions across America are...

President Trump and top health officials Monday said pregnant women should not take acetaminophen for pain relief due to a potential link to autism. Acetaminophen is the active ingredient in Tylenol, one of the most widely used medications in the world. “Taking Tylenol is not good,” Trump said during a White House announcement. Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will begin updating the label on acetaminophen and will begin notifying physicians that Tylenol “can be associated with a very increased risk of autism.” “All pregnant women should talk...

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will reveal that Tylenol use during pregnancy and a folate deficiency may be linked to autism. During a Cabinet meeting last week, HSS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. declared that his department has pinpointed “certain interventions” that are almost certainly causing autism in children. President Trump pressed the issue head-on during the Cabinet meeting, calling the autism crisis “a tremendous horror show” devastating American families. Kennedy stunned the room with the numbers. In 1970, he said, a massive Wisconsin study of 900,000 children found an autism rate of less than one...
