Washington Post says announcement imminent despite guidelines showing drug – known as paracetamol elsewhere - is safe for pregnant women to take

Donald Trump’s administration is on Monday expected to tie pregnant women’s use of the popular medicine Tylenol – known as paracetamol elsewhere in the world – to a risk of autism, contrary to medical guidelines, the Washington Post has reported.

Trump officials are also expected to announce an effort to explore how the drug leucovorin could purportedly and potentially treat autism, according to the Post report published Sunday, which cited four sources with knowledge of the plans who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the announcement had not been made.

Medical guidelines say it is safe for pregnant women to take Tylenol, the over-the-counter pain medication whose active ingredient is known as acetaminophen in the US and paracetamol elsewhere in the world.

Why is this dumbfuck is so obsessed with autism?

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

because it's something people don't understand but desperately want to 'solve'.

so you can leverage it to manipulate them. most of the anti-autism stuff is less about autism and more about controlling sad people who desperately want answers and feel 'victimized' by autisms existence

I suspect it's projection, some autistic person probably schooled him at some point and he felt belittled. He's dumb and petty enough, plus it's the right kind of bigotry for the fuhrer to sell snake oil.

He's selling. So, he tells you that this "Really bad" companies drug can cause it. Then while you are thinking about it. He tells you that he has this new wonderful drug that might "treat it". Snake oil anyone?
