Be fair, Dr Trump did find the cure for covid, drinking a bottle of bleach. If only he'd followed his own advice..

Anyone think that Trump's pandering to the whims of his crazy health secretary might just be an attempt to distract the public from the Epstein story and his failure to bring peace to Ukraine and elsewhere?

There is one problem with them trying to blame paracetamol for Autism and that is paracetamol went on sale around 1956 and the first medical report on Autism as far as I can tell was written in 1943

It is clearly down to genetics and I do not think there has been a massive rise in it. We have just gotten more aware and better at diagnosing it. As even those pretty low on the spectrum are now getting diagnosed.

Re: President Trump 2.0
 

Partly, perhaps, but there is a very real sense in which Trump usually just burbles on about the last thing someone whispers in his ear. He can’t hold on to a train of thought for any length of time. RFK probably just got some face-to-face time with him since he got back from Windsor Castle.

Re: President Trump 2.0
 

Are they banning Tylenol or just bad mouthing it ?

Re: President Trump 2.0
 

Warning people not to take it unless ‘medically necessary’.

Which to me sounds like ‘as you were’.

Nobody could accuse them of thinking anything through, could they …

Re: President Trump 2.0
 

surely this could end up in the courts Tylenol sales must be in the $billions

Re: President Trump 2.0
 

In the US it's branded and owned by one company so in theory, they have a strong interest to challenge Trump and his nuttier side-kick Robert F Kennedy Jr. (Does that mean junior IQ?)
However, the warning is so light it's probably better if the drug company ignores it and lets it blow over.

Re: President Trump 2.0
 

It's just a brand name for Paracetamol, isn't it? Weird how the entire discussion seems based around the brand name.

Re: President Trump 2.0
 

I think in America you can only get paracetamol as its brand name of Tylenol. Where as here there are many versions and its sold as paracetamol under made brands.

Re: President Trump 2.0
 

Either it’s like talking about hoovers, portakabins and roller blades in the UK (trademarks that have entered into common speech) or else they’re taking a calculated swipe at the Tylenol trademark owner.

Paracetamol is available as a generic drug in the US. Its regulated name, spelled in US English, is acetaminofen.

I don’t know whether the TM owner is crafting a sternly-worded complaint to send to the White House, but when I was a reporter we used to get legal letters every time we accidentally used trademarks instead of generic names. We had a list of ones we weren’t meant to use, including some surprising ones (“tannoy system” springs to mind as a less-well-known one). The owner of the ‘roller blade’ trademark was our most frequent correspondent because ‘in-line skates’ were all the rage in the 90s when I was writing for the papers and hooligans buzzing pedestrians was one of our staple stories.

Re: President Trump 2.0
 

just pulled this from the web

Paracetamol is known as acetaminophen in the USA. Acetaminophen relieves mild-to-moderate pain, headache and fever. It is available as brand names such as Tylenol, Mapap or Panadol, and also as generics and store-specific brands


sounds like a campaign against one company
