Now Trump Warns Us About Tylenol!

Two really important things to remember here -
1. Trump is an idiot.
2. Trump is still an idiot.

Wasn't there a Tylenol scare years ago...I think in the 80's when some bottles of the meds were supposedly laced with arsenic? Or some other similar toxin? Nothing like bringing back that lovely memory.

Autism was around before Tylenol ever hit the shelves.

On Wednesday, America’s first Black president slammed the Trump administration’s recent claims about autism and its unproven link to the drug acetaminophen, or Tylenol, as its brand name is known.

We have the spectacle of my successor in the Oval Office making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproved,” Obama said at London’s O2 Arena, according to a transcript of his remarks obtained by CNN.

Obama slammed Trump, saying his administration’s new move under the Department of Health and Human Services is undermining public health.

“The degree to which that undermines public health, the degree to which that can do harm to women who are pregnant, the degree to which that creates anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic, which by the way itself is subject to a spectrum, and a lot of what is being trumpeted as these massive increases actually have to do with a broadening of the criteria across that spectrum, so that people can actually get services and help,” said the former president.

He added, “All of that is violence against the truth.”

The former president said it was important for those who “believe in the truth and believe in science, to also examine truth when it is inconvenient for us.”

The day after Trump’s announcement and remarks about autism and Tylenol, Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator for the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services, appeard to soften Trump’s public statements about pregnant women not taking Tylenol.

“If you have a high fever… you ought to be talking to a doctor anyway. The doctor’s almost certainly going to prescribe you something. Tylenol might be one of the things they give,” Oz told TMZ.

He added, “Pregnant women know lots of the typical things you would take for aches and pains and fevers are not a permissible product to be used during pregnancy. Acetaminophen is probably your best option, but take it when you really need it.”
