Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
F*** sake Tylenol is a brand, acetaminophen is the active ingredient. So if they're saying Tylenol, you can guess this is just a standard everyday stock manipulation, and possibly some personal vendetta, but I'm going with shorting the stock.
Hey now don't underestimate how completely idiotic they are, too! This administration is filled with so many slackjawed fools that I don't put it past them to genuinely not know Tylenol is just a name brand.
It’s like people who say Tannoy, when they mean public address system
Their fear mongering luckily only applies to Tylenol and Acetaminophen, they’ve never even heard of paracetamol.
It couldn't possibly be the microplastics and vocs in your child's brain.
Just don't pay attention while we defund the study and abatement of PFOS and PFAS... Something something Epstein files.
i want out
I wonder how many children he had to rape before making that informed decision? That's all it takes to be an expert on children's health for a republican, right? RFK Jr doesn't have any other qualifications at all. None.
I'm just assuming all republicans are child rapists now, since they ALL voted to cover up child rape.
There may very well be a correlation, but the causation probably runs the other way if so. That is - autism may increase the use of painkiller use in pregnancy. Since all evidence points to autism being genetic.
Per essentially every source referenced in the article, there is no correlation either.
Trump says it's bad for me? I'm taking it!
Personal anecdote, but I discovered that a feeling I had associated with being sick when I was younger was actually from the Tylenol my parents handed out like it was candy when any of us did get sick (exaggerating a bit, it was basically one of the go to "solutions" when sickness came up). I realized this when I took a percocet for fun, since people do that for some reason, and then just felt sick after. Like a head sickness, a brain fog.
No idea if there's any link between that and autism (could just be a personal sensitivity, which is what I've treated it as ever since), but the argument from the article that it might cause stigma because it could be considered "their own fault" is a very weak one, weak enough that it makes me wonder if there really is a link. It's not "Tylenol and autism aren't linked", it's "claims that Tylenol and autism are linked might make people feel bad about taking Tylenol!"
Though tbf, the response could be coming from the same source as the initial claims, intending to increase credibility via the exact thing I said in the last paragraph.
