If you think that adults taking Tylenol hurt kids, just wait until you read what the adults in the Epstein Files were doing to them.

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

RFK Jr: “Research on vaccines and autism has been suppressed.”

PubMed: “Here’s over 1200 research papers on vaccines and autism…

…including this first one which is a meta-analysis showing that vaccines are not associated with autism.”

The word “autism” was first used to describe behavioral differences in children in 1911 but autism has been documented using available records going back to the 1700s (definitively) and further.

Acetaminophen (Tylenol, paracetamol) was discovered in 1878 and first sold in the United States in 1950.

Couldn’t say it any better.

Acetaminophen Use During Pregnancy and Children’s Risk of Autism, ADHD, and Intellectual Disability This nationwide cohort study with sibling control analysis examines the association of acetaminophen use during pregnancy with children’s risk of autism, ADHD, and intellectual disability.

AUTISM and TYLENOL

A study of 2.5 million children showed a small association between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism—but this finding DISAPPEARED when full siblings were compared.

“Acetaminophen use during pregnancy was not associated with children’s risk of autism…”

Truth.

Previous generations fought fascism in nearly every corner of the earth. Today it’s on our streets, silencing opposition and attempting to control the airwaves.

The GOP has declared all out war on free speech. It’s up to us to fight for it.

Of course, many reports of ICE thugs grabbing American citizens, brutalizing them & throwing them into detention ignoring their pleas that they are citizens. One can imagine this from Kavanaugh: “There is no problem requiring Jews to wear yellow stars. It’s just to identify them. No harm no foul”

I’ll be blunt: no respectable media outlet should be providing a platform for Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo.

He is nothing but a factory for anti-science propaganda. He has nothing of worth to convey to the public.

Florida’s decision to end school vaccine mandates is devastating for children.

They have no agency. They’re relying on adults to protect them.

Many will end up disabled, chronically ill or dying from completely preventable diseases.

It’s eugenics and it’s targeting the most vulnerable

RFK Jr., American Psycho He needs to go. Now.

Caroline Kennedy warned us about her cousin #RFKJr, "a predator" presiding over "perverse scenes" of "despair and violence." His youth was the origin story of a new American Psycho. Now he is the position to inflict pain and suffering on millions. He has to go now. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Hi, immunologist here:

(a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes)

RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation”

That’s NOT how immunology works.

He is an anti-science profiteer.
Start calling him such.

Shameful.

Must be Trump Derangement Syndrome 🤨

This is insane. Predictable, but insane. The Republican Party cowards who enabled this now own it.

You fight for a zygote, but cheer when a child is ripped from a mother‘s arms by ICE.
Tells me everything I need to know about you.

RFK Jr. destroyed vaccine trust for decades and now claims he is going to restore it? RFK Jr has made millions targeting vaccines. Firing CDC’s ACIP to install anti-vaccine allies will not fix anything: it will allow him to finish the job.

RFK Jr has created distrust around vaccines & legitimate scientific experts for DECADES to build his multi-million dollar empire.

Firing ACIP to install anti-vaccine allies won’t fix anything: it will allow him to finish the job.

I'm reading the report behind these headlines about glyphosate and it may be the most scientifically illiterate thing I've come across (although it's a close thing with the recent MAHA report). 1/n

Opinion | Is This the Beginning of the End of America’s National Parks?

“The group estimated that reducing the operating budget by $900 million, as the Trump administration wants to do, would require closing 350 of the 433 parks, monuments, historic sites and other locations overseen by the Park Service… we would be witnessing the dismantling of a century-old system”

Projected Outcomes of Removing Fluoride From US Public Water Systems This cost-effectiveness analysis evaluates a large sample of US children to determine the associations of fluoridation cessation with oral health and national dental care costs.

If the US stops fluoridating water, in 5 yrs American children would suffer an additional 25.4 million cavities, with an added cost of $9.8B, and loss of 2.9 million quality-adjusted life years, disproportionately borne by children currently on public health insurance or who lack insurance entirely.

Now those of us on the frontlines in the Emergency Department don’t get Covid vaccines unless we meet their BS pre-conditions.

RFK Jr. asks CDC for new measles treatment guidance amid his unfounded claims Kennedy claimed that drugs like budesonide and clarithromycin "have been shown very effective" for measles, but doctors say they don't fight the infection itself.

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’

One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.
