^^You want the PDA closed when the lungs are filling with air, and you no longer want blood flow to bypass them. But before delivery, the fetus is dependent on the PDA to survive.

What will they do with me? I have fraternal twins. One has autism and the other is neurotypical. Did all of the Tylenol only go to one baby?

I’m also an autism parent. I hope your family is doing well and that you all are hanging in there. I say this with respect and compassion, but it’s odd to me that your experience leads you to parody people positing an environmental component. Plenty of people will say that autism “is genetic,” insinuating (or even outright saying) that whether a child has autism follows ineluctably from that child’s genes, when, in fact, the experience of twins (including monozygotic twins) shows that it surely is much more complicated than that.

Bleach. Trump basically told us to inject bleach for Covid. How can you take this seriously?

Trump said "run from Tylenol, fight it, don't let them give it to you," presumably to pregnant women. Maybe everyone.

You know what my OB-Gyn colleagues are talking about? Pregnant women have pain. Sometimes, a lot of pain. There's no reason not to take Tylenol, but some of them are going to remember this erroneous "Tylenol causes autism" thing and reach for an NSAID like aspirin or ibuprofen, which really IS dangerous in pregnancy.

There's a decent risk of ductal closure in the fetus when NSAIDs are taken after 30 weeks gestation. That will cause in utero death in a matter of hours. By the time they notice no fetal movement and someone figures it out, it's too late. That's not going to happen every time, but ibuprofen is one medication neonatologists can give newborns when they need to close a persistent PDA (patent ductus arteriosus).

So. That will be great.

Ibuprofen lysine (NeoProfen) for the treatment of patent ductus arteriosus
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1769541/

For years, indomethacin has been the drug of choice for the treatment of PDA in the USA. Undesirable adverse effects prompted researchers to seek alternative agents. In April 2006, the US Food and Drug Administration approved the use of ibuprofen lysine (NeoProfen) for closure of clinically significant PDA in premature neonates. Ibuprofen's mechanism of action for closure of PDA is believed to be through the inhibition of prostaglandins. Clinical studies have shown ibuprofen to be as effective as indomethacin with fewer adverse effects.

Is that why he's blaming the brand name and not the common name of acetaminophen?

I don't know, but if I was an enterprising lawyer or law firm that wanted to make a case for myself I'd sue him for defamation. Would be a fun legal theory to try out.

lol “enterprising”. Sure, bub; youre really cooking here.

OMG this is so much worse than I imagined when I saw your post.

He's not talking to people about it. He's not getting updates or asking questions -- if he were, it would be a familiar word.

He is totally phoning it in. An intern would be fired for this performance.

What intern would not even figure out ahead of time how to pronounce the drug’s name ????

His staff are such sycophants, they probably did not have even feel that could correct him on that.

RFK Jr is a zealot and absolutely believes in what he's doing. He's not through. It's going to get weirder and more draconian.

+1 Makes me wonder if Kenvue can sue RFKJ personally. The government has sovereign immunity but this isn’t coming from the government, it’s just whatever this guy’s heroin-damaged worm brain thinks.

You'll have to wait until Oct 4 for the new season but tune into the late night shows. Kimmel will be back on air tomorrow - Tues - and the other late show hosts will cover it before then. Where are we living, folks?! Each day there is more fckery

Or if they don’t try to cure with Dr oz drug then deny whatever else may need
