Taking acetaminophen during pregnancy does not increase the risk of autism, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or intellectual disability among children. That is according to the most rigorous analysis of the evidence to date, published in The Lancet Obstetrics, Gynecology & Women's Health, and led by researchers from City St George's, University of London.

Wasn't the whole point of that announcement to make the stock price of the company that owns the patent for Tylenol plummet so that some donor to this administration could buy the company cheaply?

Yes. Then we waste real money and man hours to prove the fucking obvious(that Tylenol doesn’t cause autism) yet we don’t ever make it to the fact you just stated. Absolutely infuriating.

Eh, there were a few studies that showed a link including one of the largest ones. Now I get to move this from the "very unlikely but possible" column to the "almost certainly false" column.
