FDA initiates label change on Tylenol to warn of autism

They’re driven by non-scientific principles.

Your entire party is driven by pure emotion, not facts. Don’t lecture us about scientific principles when many on your side believe that the differences between men and women is nothing more than a social construct.

The f****** manufacturer for decades has advised pregnant women not to take their products
You guys sure showed Trump.....BY THE POWER OF SCIENCE


no wonder the f****** idiots happily inject themselves with poison

TDS causes people to completely lose any sense of reality. That is evident on this message board.

The recent Harvard study was valid. Saying your studies are “better” is just childish.

The Harvard study was a meta-analysis, not new data.

The best data comes from a Swedish study published in 2024 that showed no correlation. That’s not childish. Distinguishing the strength of data is essential to making judgements.

So the maker of Tylenol don't know about their own drug?

Tylenol is a generic, it's been around for many decades. All this research comes from huge reviews of massive populations, which is necessary to pick out the minute differences between different groups.

The Swedish study was taken into account. The Harvard study used 46 different studies in their analysis. They determined that the results of the Swedish study did not outweigh the other evidence that there is an association between Tylenol in pregnant women and autism.

We identified 46 studies for inclusion in our analysis. Of these, 27 studies reported positive associations (significant links to NDDs), 9 showed null associations (no significant link), and 4 indicated negative associations (protective effects). Higher-quality studies were more likely to show positive associations. Overall, the majority of the studies reported positive associations of prenatal acetaminophen use with ADHD, ASD, or NDDs in offspring, with risk-of-bias and strength-of-evidence ratings informing the overall synthesis.

Guess who doesn't bother mentioning the Swedish study whatsoever?

FACT: Evidence Suggests Link Between Acetaminophen, Autism

Even when taking into account the positive studies, the difference is quite minimal. You have to do these massive studies in order to delineate these miniscule differences.

Trump links autism and Tylenol: is there any truth to it?

During an announcment Monday, the US president repeatedly advised people, “Don’t take Tylenol,” but scientists say that strong evidence between the medication and autism is lacking.

www.nature.com

The study led by Ahlqvist harnessed data from nearly 2.5 million children born in Sweden between 1995 and 2019 and — from the country’s extensive health records — data on acetaminophen prescriptions during pregnancy and on self-reported use collected by midwives, as well as whether children later received autism diagnoses.

The study showed that around 1.42% of children exposed to acetaminophen during pregnancy were autistic, compared with 1.33% of children who were not exposed ─ a “very small” difference, says Ahlqvist.

The team also compared pairs of siblings (born to the same person), in which one had been exposed to acetaminophen and one had not. Siblings share half of their genome, a similar upbringing and maternal health, so differences in autism are more likely to be due to the drug. Using this method, the researchers found no association between acetaminophen and autism — which supports the idea that links found in other studies could be explained by confounding factors.

The Harvard study

You guys love talking about money influencing research.

Harvard’s Public Health Dean Was Paid $150,000 to Testify Tylenol Causes Autism | News | The Harvard Crimson

Harvard School of Public Health Dean Andrea A. Baccarelli received at least $150,000 to testify against Tylenol’s manufacturer in 2023 — two years before he published research used by the Trump administration to link the drug to autism, even though experts say a causal connection remains tenuous...

Does that not apply anymore?

To be clear, I'm not suggesting his paper isn't valid, I'm just asking as to whether this makes you any more or less likely to accept his conclusions.

Why should he? It is one study out of many.

Yes, money can influence research. Maybe it even influenced this study. Now, please keep that in mind the next time you tout your scientific "evidence" in an attempt to bolster your political narrative.

RFK Jr has a habit of only considering studies they agree with his preconceived notions.

This administration receives very legitimate criticism about how they handle these issues. To me, it’s clear they’re looking for anything that they can use to blame for autism. Strength of data, strength of effect, consistency and consensus don’t matter. It’s theatre. They’re just wanting to look like they’re doing something.

 

[SweetTea]

They are doing plenty. Certainly far more and better than the previous administration.

Yeah? You think adding a warning label to Tylenol bottles based on weak evidence of a weak connection is “doing plenty”?

This is theatre for the low information voters.

 

[Nostra]

‘“In more than two decades of research on the use of acetaminophen in pregnancy, not a single reputable study has successfully concluded that the use of acetaminophen in any trimester of pregnancy causes neurodevelopmental disorders in children,” Steven Fleischman, president of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), said in a statement Monday.’

This is madness – a reckless, irresponsible ‘administration’ continues to lie to the American people.

Great. What is your take about this doomsday study that global warming will leave the polar caps with no ice in 2005?

For the Tylenol study, you said because the Swedish study is updated and therefore, previous studies should be taken with a grain of salt.

I think he has done far more than just this.

The only “weak theatre” is the Democrats being overly dramatic about everything he does.

RFK Jr doesn’t cry wolf? He says autism is caused by mercury in vaccines. What’s that? There’s no mercury in vaccines anymore? Oh well it’s something else in vaccines because it has to be vaccines.

It’s a joke. You’re turning these institutions into jokes.
