Tylenol and Autism - Why It's Probably Bullshit (Public Board)

The big problem with these "scientific studies" is they use a p-value of 5% as enough to declare a match.

It sounds like what they did is they gave pregnant women a survey, and then matched that with whether or not their kid has autism.

If the survey had 20 questions, and you use a p-value of 5%, then one thing is statistically guaranteed to match. I.e., if the women answered the survey randomly, 1 in 20 things would look like they're correlated to autism.

They didn't release the details, but I'm wondering if that's the mistake they made, false correlation observation due to too high p-value threshold.

To do it correctly, they would need 1000 pregnant women. Randomly split them in two groups. Give half of them tylenol, give half of them a placebo. See how many kids develop autism. That would be a proper experiment, rather than giving a survey and "discovering" a correlation after the fact.

It's probably best that Trump not play doctor. That didn't work out too well during Covid.

Tylenol has always been suspect for causing Autism and ADHD in infants. There was a big class action lawsuit against the company a couple of years ago, but they lost in court. The judge wouldn't allow the evidence. The company got lucky.

Tylenol admitted back in 2017 it should not be taken by pregnant women, yet doctors recommended it was safe.

I don't think that Tylenol by itself causes autism. Maybe it contributes, but its more likely all the vaccines they give to kids. By the age of 2, an infant gets 27 vaccines. That's just absurd. I wonder how I made it through life with only 4 or 5.

Stupid young pregnant women are ODing on Tylenol to "Defy" Trump

One is dying of liver failure and the baby may not make it.

I saw some senile old boomer dude toss a handful of Tylenol in his mouth in a video short ranting how Trump couldn't stop him.

I approve of the Darwin strategy to thin out the population of wokies somewhat.

Personally, I use Tylenol and, autism or not, I plan to keep on using it. It does not have the stomach or heart related issues that Advil has and it's more neutral for the stomach than aspirin and it does not have the same anti clotting properties that aspirin does. However, Tylenol OD can damage the liver and so can drinking heavily while using Tylenol.

You can't really fuck around with any medication, over the counter or not. FAFO.

Liberals are sick with their TDS. Its a shame about the pregnant woman. What a stupid thing for her to do. Even if the baby lives, who knows what kind of birth defects it will have.

These people are so sick in the head because they hate Trump so much. I can't imagine having that much hatred for anyone. Eventually your own hatred gets you in the end.

I've used Tylenol many years ago and thought it was okay. I like Advil, but never take it much because that can hurt you too. Yeah, its not a good idea to fuck around with any medication.

Two-minute hate

Ever read Nineteen Eighty-Four? The totalitarians in that story gave the serfs somebody to hate. Enforced it and programmed it with two minutes of hate every morning.

Trump is today's hatee.

I read 1984 long ago. Their hate is worse than two minutes of hate every morning. Its more like 24/7 hate on Trump because of the left wing media. Even after he leaves office, they'll still hate on him. The lefties are mentally ill and dangerous.
