Well nobody buys the “refrigerator mother” theory of autism any more, so the Fanta Fuhrer has to invent some other bullshit that blames it squarely on women.

Edited

Absolutely! Always the mother's fault, isn't it? Well I have two AuAdhd kids and I didn't take any paracetamol in pregnancy. His vaccine advice will cost lives. 😪

A lot of people I know in the States were predicting he'd use this as one of if not the "cause" of autism. The next step will be that they'll be touting a "cure" probably some bullshit supplement that someone sells and wants to make more money by selling to gullible people.

It’s obviously something that the man (let’s face it, probably is) at the top of the company that makes Tylenol has done to piss Donald off and this is his petty revenge

Or like Wakefield he has invested in a company that’s developed an alternative.

This doesn't make sense. The Republicans didn't need to pick a better candidate as the one they had was better than the Democrats candidate.

It's on the Democrats that they couldn't beat Trump.

You think Trump was better than Kamala Harris?

I think Americans (or a large amount of them) just weren't ready to elect a black woman as president.

He is a nutter and this is batshit but it’s likely that it has come from valid studies that show an increase in ADHD in boys when paracetamol is used in pregnancy. Just google Lancet, I don’t know how to link. Now this has been proven and about for quite a long time (I didn’t take paracetamol in pregnancy due to it). That said the studies often do state that it’s likely that this use is also in conjunction with a genetic link and the development or severity of that.

Bottom line is he is an utter nutcase but the scary thing is he is taking something with scientific links to the truth and spinning it out of shape

He’s started on the bollocks about the MMR now, too.
No doubt advised by that renowned medical expert, Robert Kennedy, Jr.

I broke my ankle in two places when I was pregnant. There were not a lot of options for painkillers - paracetamol was encouraged. What a shit headline.

Eh?

So it didn't matter if they put up a dangerous nutter as long as they knew he could win?

The Republicans should have chosen a better candidate.

The Democrats fucked up, for sure, but Trump is the responsibility of the Republicans.

Honestly it really upset me, made me feel sick. Autism runs in the family and I’ve long suspected I’m autistic myself. The consequences for this kind of misinformation peddled by Trump and his backward circus will be huge. What an absolute disgrace.

@BeHappySloth
As was pointed out on another thread he was voted in by a majority of voters in America who thought he was the right choice. The Democrats must bear some of the blame.

No. The Democrats should be held accountable for their failures in government and for failing to speak up sooner about Biden's cognitive decline.

But it was the Republicans who chose Trump as their candidate, and that was entirely on them.

I have found it curious that the Trump administration is referring to a specific brand name (Tylenol), not the American generic name (Acetaminophen).

Has Johnson & Johnson done something to piss Trump off? Maybe they’ve not raised their overseas drugs prices enough for him?

I’d imagine it’s because he can’t pronounce the word ‘acetaminophen’……

Bruisername · 22/09/2025 22:21

It also follows through on the idea that women become incubators as soon as they get pregnant

he said why would you take paracetamol when you don’t have to - well how about it’s one of the few painkillers you can take - does he want women in pain or there being other health conditions because of fevers etc

i had a chest infection when pregnant and took antibiotics and paracetamol. I feel terrible taking them at the time and even now I wonder if my son’s troubles are my fault. Every time I hear the headline it makes me feel sick

mamagogo1 · 22/09/2025 22:20

I have an autistic adult dd and didn’t take paracetamol. Her dad is definitely on the autistic spectrum but became more pronounced as he got older. Her sister has adhd

itwascousinhalifax · 22/09/2025 22:18

Just watched him spout shite about vaccines now. Man’s a fucking headcase. Dangerous one.

I look forward to al the big Pharma companies suing the shit out of Trump for this absolute batshit nonsense. The legal potential for all this is very significant, how did his team allow this?

Edited

What makes you think pharma companies will stand up to him when the universities, law firms, TV networks and most countries in the world have not?

The cause of autism is complex genetic. I have an autistic (adult) child and I didn’t touch any paracetamol or ibuprofen or indeed any drug at all during pregnancy.
