Same here. Both Mrs and I, in our 60s are on no pharmaceuticals at all, save for analgesics if really necessary and only sparingly.
Why are you arguing without looking it up?
It is if the tweet was not deleted.
There have been several attempts to make paracetamol prescription only, due to the side effects and suicide by overdose, but I have never heard of a link to autism.
Maybe you could post it in a tiktok videoUsing TDS is cover for defending an idiot
I didn’t read the study as the headline said “may”
The leading professionals in Australia said that there is no proven link.
They also haven’t said people are eating cats and dogs.
There obviously needs to be more studies.
One needs to make a distinction between the rapid increase in Autism, and the rapid increase in the diagnoses of Autism.
This was addressed in the WH press conference. There are comparative community differences e.g. the Amish and Cuba (Paracetamol is too expensive so they don't use it). Also sheer numbers going from 1/20000 in 1970s to 1/31 now (I am using the higher numbers quoted). Autism has been recognised as condition since the 1940s.
Soros has been making money off disruption which he learned from his days as young man working for the Nazis in Hungary.
Im happy for soros to be investigated thoroughly. He and a few others have funded what basically accounts as domestic terrorism.

Frankly, that the US's loss.Trumps latest brain rave , More and Bigger Tariffs, is going to roil major sections of the US economy as well as US consumers and many US allies.
And of course these tariffs are illegal..
Trump says US will impose new tariffs on heavy trucks, drugs and kitchen cabinets
President announces 100% tariffs on imported branded drugs, 25% on heavy-duty trucks and 50% on cabinets

Donald Trump on Thursday announced a new round of punishing tariffs, saying the United States will impose a 100% tariffs on imported branded drugs, 25% tariff on imports of all heavy-duty trucks and 50% tariffs on kitchen cabinets.
The US president also said he would start charging a 50% tariff on bathroom vanities and a 30% tariff on upholstered furniture next week, with all the new duties to take effect from 1 October.
Drug companies warned earlier this year that Americans would suffer the most if Trump decided to impose tariffs on pharmaceuticals.
In 2024, the US imported nearly $233bn in pharmaceutical and medicinal products, according to the Census Bureau. The prospect of prices doubling for some medicines could send shock waves to voters as healthcare expenses, as well as the costs of Medicare and Medicaid, potentially increase.

Indeed . It is worth going into the details of just how corrupt Donald Trump is with his targeting of anyone who ever trued to bring him to justice.
It will be interesting to see what a Grand Jury does with this case. It will be no surprise if the Trump administration cannot even get to the stage of allowing a case to proceed. It is just so obviously paper thin. What will be even more interesting will be how any Judge responds to the situation.

‘For My Enemies, the Law’
by William Kristol
I’m no expert on the history of Peru. But just a little reading suggests that it’s not a place where, in the 1930s, you’d have wanted to take your chances with the legal system.
The Latin American nation was governed back then by an authoritarian strongman, Óscar R. Benavides. He’s perhaps best remembered today for allegedly uttering the pithy aphorism, “For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law.”
In other words: Ignore or circumvent or bend the law to benefit loyal allies; use the law to go after political opponents. Pardons for friends, prosecutions for enemies.
That’s the kind of legal system our own North American wannabe authoritarian, Donald Trump, admires. It’s the kind of legal system he’s working hard to bring about.
Last Friday, Erik Siebert, a respected career prosecutor and the acting U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, resigned ahead of being fired by Trump. Siebert and his colleagues had concluded after a lengthy review of the evidence that there were no grounds to do what Trump wished them to do, which was to criminally prosecute James Comey, the former FBI director, for allegedly making materially false statements to Congress.
On Saturday, Trump took to social media to publicize his demand for this prosecution, and that of others he considered enemies. He framed his post as a message to Attorney General Pam Bondi.
On Monday, Trump installed Lindsey Halligan to replace Siebert as acting assistant U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. The 36-year-old Halligan has never prosecuted a case in any court. Even by Trumpian standards, she is radically unqualified for the position to which she was appointed, perhaps the second-most important U.S. attorney post in the country. But she did have one key qualification, the key qualification: She is a total Trump loyalist.
And so, unsurprisingly, MSNBC reported yesterday that Halligan intends to try to get a grand jury to indict Comey. Halligan would have to move quickly; Comey’s last congressional testimony was on September 30, 2020, meaning that the five-year statute of limitations runs out next week.
ABC News then reported that career prosecutors and investigators in the Eastern District of Virginia had previously determined over a months-long investigation that such a case against Comey was too weak to pursue. Indeed, they presented the newly appointed Halligan with a written and detailed memo to that effect. The memo explained that the investigation into the former FBI director had failed to establish probable cause of a crime—meaning that not only would prosecutors be unable to secure a conviction of Comey by proving the claims beyond a reasonable doubt, but that, according to Justice Department guidelines, they ought not even seek to secure an indictment.
But those guidelines were from the pre-Trump era. Halligan reportedly plans to seek an indictment from a grand jury as early as today.
Trump has repeatedly and publicly demanded prosecutors use the criminal justice system to punish his political opponents even as they turn a blind eye on his friends (see, e.g., Homan, Tom). Now his Justice Department is carrying out his wishes.
One additional feature of 1930s Peru may be worth noting at this point. Oscar Benavides called a presidential election in 1936 and lost the vote. But he refused to accept the verdict of the people. Rather, he used his power to stay in office.
¡Qué sorpresa!
