So you are okay with this nutter? So much for actually figuring out autism. That would cost money, I guess |
Because what will happen is women will forgo taking Tylenol for fever which is far more dangerous for the fetus. Major maternal pain is also not good for the fetus. Furthermore, it is not good to have idiots in charge of FDA and CDC. It is harmful to all Americans, regardless of politics. We should all want competent people in these roles, including you. |
They are lying. They are deliberately ignoring the best evidence in favor of lower quality evidence that suits their political agenda, and then -- this is important -- using a government agency to make changes in health recommendations based on that shoddy evidence. What is wrong with you? |
At what point do these recommendations affect what insurance companies will cover or doctors' liability for compliant or non-compliant advice? |
This. |
|
Maybe they should ban Viagra use for older men given old man sperm is associated with autism??
No Viagra over age 45 unless you also had a vasectomy. |
lol DCUM freaking out that Tylenol won’t be covered by insurance. Chefs kiss. |
This is disinformation. The study used an age-30 cutoff. |
So no Viagra over age 30? |
Lol MAGAs not caring that we have lying morons in charge of healthcare, harming Americans. Chefs kiss. |
It's not about insurance coverage. It's about misleading information -- deliberately wrong information. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. The other options OTC are not, especially past the 30 week time. And untreated fever in pregnancy really IS connected to autism. |
And what will end up happening after this is women leaving fever untreated or thinking "I heard Tylenol is bad, I will take Ibuprofen instead." |
The risk is premature closure of the PDA in utero, leading to fetal death. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. |
How do you know? |
Because a giant study of 2.5 million children which controlled for genetic and familial factors found that any correlation with autism disappeared once those confounding factors were controlled for. In other words, the correlation found in some studies is related to confounds - genetics of who is more likely to take tylenol due to other predisposing factors. |
