I don’t know why all of you are getting worked up over this. You’re free to ingest as much Tylenol as you wish while pregnant.
It’s still legal.

Isn't it curious that this memo left off the two highest quality studies on this topic that did not show an impact? Notably the swiss study of 2.5 million pregnancies which controlled for confounders down to looking at mothers who took tylenol for one pregnancy and not another pregnancy - and did not find an impact when this was accounted for?

Why do you think those studies were left out of the press release?

Why did Marty Makary go on camera making a fake statement about the Harvard study author saying the study showed causality when the author said no such thing and the study itself explicitly states its results cannot be used to indicate causality? And why did Marty Makary turn around and state in a letter to healthcare providers that research on the topic has produced mixed results?

You are not a serious person if you use the White House and cherry picked, misrepresented data which ignores confounding issues and the largest, higher quality studies. Going with ACOG:

"“In more than two decades of research on the use of acetaminophen in pregnancy, not a single reputable study has successfully concluded that the use of acetaminophen in any trimester of pregnancy causes neurodevelopmental disorders in children. In fact, the two highest-quality studies on this subject—one of which was published in JAMA last year—found no significant associations between use of acetaminophen during pregnancy and children’s risk of autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability.

“The studies that are frequently pointed to as evidence of a causal relationship, including the latest systematic review released in August, include the same methodological limitations—for example, lack of a control for confounding factors or use of unreliable self-reported data—that are prevalent in the majority of studies on this topic."

Your fact check is the white house press release of the correlational publication with confounders in a mid tier journal that ignores higher quality larger studies on this topic????



Please find an online class on research methods, analysis, and critical thinking.

DP. Why do you need data when it’s just logical? More young women are liberal than men, who are conservative. IDK if they’re getting laid, but young women have been saying all over media they don’t want to settle with a conservative guy. Why would you want to be with a guy who supports you having fewer rights than him? (Yes, we have a very slippery slope here.) So, conservative women really are the ones who have a plethora of conservative guys.

We have the leader of the DOD/DOW tweeting out support of religious leaders discussing how women should be subservient to men and we should even repeal the 19th amendment. Charlie Kirk told Taylor Swift to submit to Kelce

Not a winning strategy for men who purport to want to get married. Very unattractive and unappealing.

I grew up reading the Little House books and it always stuck with me that even Laura Ingalls told Almanzo Wilder, before marrying him, that she could not agree to "obey" him in her marital vows. That was back around the 1880s. How are we going backwards on this??

WSJ story claims makary and others didn’t want to focus on Tylenol but RFK and trump ran with it. He got left carrying the water for these fools. Lay down with dogs, get up with fleas.

They had to run with it, they made a big promise of finding the reason for autism. So they picked a recent publication and ran with it even though the study is correlational, does not control for confounding factors, and is lower quality than other, larger, studies on the topic that did not find an impact (once confounding factors are controlled).

They have not tested on pregnant women? 2019???

The makers of Tylenol do not recommend pregnant women take any over-the-counter medication without consulting their doctor.

But they actually said no testing had been performed on pregnant women. As late as 2019. That’s unbelievable.

Wow, are you really this clueless about the ethical parameters for clinical studies???

Hint: WE DON'T TEST ANYTHING ON PREGNANT WOMEN

Please, pay attention.

Tylenol, the private company, has not themselves conducted those tests on pregnant women.

That does not mean the unbranded generic Acetaminophen hasn't been studied in pregnant women. JFC. People have been citing such studies throughout this thread.

Show a source that proves “Tylenol” is a private company.

Lol this is an dc thingZ Only in DC would people call it a private company because public here implies government agency! Publicly traded private sector company to be specific, i guess

Harvard’s Public Health Dean Was Paid $150,000 to Testify Tylenol Causes Autism

https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2025/9/24/autism-dean-public-health/

Wow. Corruption.

Nah, expert witness for a lawsuit against J&J.

Here's a link to the abstract of the study he co-authored: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40804730/
It was a review of other studies suggesting an "association" between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and a variety of neurodevelopmental disorders. The lawsuit against J&J was dismissed, and the conflict of interest statement with the abstract says he testified only as to general associations. The study recommends limiting Tylenol use, which is reasonable. Other researchers have pointed out that the conditions for which women might take tylenol could themselves affect development.

But maybe he wants the administration to also like him.

I couldn't find anything in his Harvard bio to say he is an MD. Doctors can be sanctioned for misleading testimony as expert witnesses. He said he was paid for 200 hours of work on the case. I once tried to find an expert witness for legal action related to my kid's IEP. This was in 2005 and the woman wanted $1000/hr. That would include travel time, any hours she spent waiting to give a depo or to be calle as a witness, etc etc. I couldn't afford to do that (and SCOTUS had ruled parents cannot recover expert witness fees in IDEA lawsuits if they win althugh they can recover legal fees).

Good on the WSJ for calling out RFK's move for what it is: profits in the so-called "wellness" industry.
