Trump is not forcing anyone to NOT take tylenol.

He just warns pregnant women.

Take it or leave it.

 

Why are people so against this ?

Its sad people like you exist in this world that need to ask such a question. Here are a few clues for you.

People are against Trump's warning on Tylenol (acetaminophen) for pregnant women primarily because it contradicts the overwhelming scientific consensus that the drug is safe and recommended for managing pain and fever during pregnancy, with weak and inconclusive evidence for any causal link to autism.

 

Major health organizations like the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the UK's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) have explicitly pushed back, emphasizing that observational studies cited by the administration show associations at best—not proof of causation—and that avoiding Tylenol could endanger mothers and fetuses by leaving fevers or pain untreated, which carries proven risks like preterm birth or neural tube defects. 
 

Trump's lack of scientific credentials and reliance on HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s views nails a big part of the distrust—RFK Jr. has a track record of amplifying fringe theories on vaccines and environmental toxins, and the key Harvard researcher he and Trump cite was paid $150,000 as an expert witness in a 2023 lawsuit against Tylenol's manufacturer, raising bias flags. Critics see this as less "take it or leave it" advice and more a politicized push against Big Pharma, fitting a pattern from the administration's early moves on infant vaccines and "mounting evidence" claims that cherry-pick data. It's not just about qualifications; it's the fear that top-down warnings from non-experts erode public trust in established medicine, especially when autism rates are rising due to better diagnostics, not some sudden Tylenol conspiracy.

 

There's real anxiety rippling through pregnant mothers—some women report ditching a med their doctors endorse out of confusion, while others feel gaslit by the "no downside" rhetoric, ignoring how chronic pain or untreated fevers can spike miscarriage risks.

 

On the flip side, the backlash has a tribal edge: Videos of pregnant women dramatically popping Tylenol "to own Trump" have gone viral on TikTok and X, which defenders mock as deranged spite, but it underscores how polarized health discourse has become under this admin.

There is no "overwhelming scientific consensus" on this issue. There are scientific studies that have questioned the safety of the drug.

 

RFK Jr and Trump are erring on the side of caution, which is very sensible.

 

It's kind of terrifying that when it comes to foreign policy and medical policy it's Trump that is the safe pair of hands.

Even Tylenol themselves, back in 2017. did not recommend it for usage in pregnant women !!

Personal attack again.

Well then I can say the same of you.

 

These are no clues for me.

Check out my other post where the MSM were saying the same thing 10 years ago.

 

 

Not sure why, but the NRA felt the need to become involved and have just released this statement....

 

"Tylenol does not cause autism......expectant mothers do........."

How is 'people like you' personal?

It includes me directly with "you".

Though Moderna’s plan to open the first mRNA manufacturing plant in the UK was in place before Mr Trump’s second presidential term began, its chief executive Stephane Bancel made a point of telling Sky News that the company was opening the factory in a country that “still believes in vaccination”.

 

He told the broadcaster that if anti-vaccine rhetoric impacts demand in the US, the UK operation “may pay dividends”.

The facility can make up to 100 million doses per year, rising to 250 million in a pandemic, and will create around 150 highly skilled jobs, the government said (AP)

 

Moderna is investing more than £1bn in UK research and development as part of 10-year strategic partnership with the government.

 

Moderna takes swipe at Trump as it opens new UK factory: ‘A country that still believes in vaccination’

In small amounts and occasionaly, then it's probably okay... but start using it too much, for some with certain medical situations, or on a daily basis, then they are probably right, as overuse of most pain killers are going to be bad for your health, from paracetamol to morphine.

Follow the money and ask yourself who would be on the hook for $billions ($trillions?) of dollars of lawsuit money if that turns out to be true.  Keep in mind that there's no immunity like there is for vaccines.

 

Anyone who thinks that Pharma would come clean and not fight this tooth and claw is living in a Polyana world.  They will pull out every stop and scrap of leverage that they have.

 

My bet...  In the next 6 months, the ambulance chasers will be placing ads on late night cable.  "Did you take acetaminophen during the pregnancy of your autistic child?  You may be entitled to compensation for your pain and suffering"

 

This could be bigger than asbestos and mesothelioma.

 

 

Muppets. 
 

Trump figured out how the Repubs can win every election for the next 18 years...

 

All he has to do is announce that breathing in and out is good for you.
