Acetaminophen use during pregnancy is not likely to raise the risk of having a child with autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability, according to a new study published Friday.

Acetaminophen use during pregnancy is not likely to raise the risk of having a child with autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability, according to a new study published Friday.

Researchers across Europe reexamined evidence from multiple studies investigating the link between these conditions and the use of paracetamol — called acetaminophen in the United States — and found that these purported associations fell apart after controlling for confounding factors.

    Doesn’t matter what studies say. The US is controlled by rumors and fake news now.

    The only thing that matters to the people in charge is constant misinformation and distrust.

    It actually helps their cause that there is a new study now - according to their disinformation machine this is just another “opinion” and proves their point.

      The lie makes its way around the world before the truth has even put its shoes on. Lies are easy to make up. It takes ages to do studies and data reviews to gather evidence. It’s sad that this needed to be done to counter bullshit. The MMR vaccine lies still won’t go away after decades of disproving.

      “One last thing,” said Beatty. “At least once in his career, every fireman gets an itch. What do the books say, he wonders. Oh, to scratch that itch, eh? Well, Montag, take my word for it, I’ve had to read a few in my time, to know what I was about, and the books say nothing! Nothing you can teach or believe. They’re about nonexistent people, figments of imagination, if they’re fiction. And if they’re nonfiction, it’s worse, one professor calling another an idiot, one philosopher screaming down another’s gullet. All of them running about, putting out the stars and extinguishing the sun. You come away lost.”

      Captain Beattys all.

      Yeah, people have to understand that right-wing politics considers science merely a tool to accumulate wealth and power. Thus right-wingers will not acknowledge that science pursues scientific truth, but rather insist that science that contradicts them must be a challenge to their interests that aims to embolden their political opponents and thus must be expunged.

            russia has lionshare or propaganda dissemination throughout the whole world, i think other actors are usually smaller fries comparatively to what putin can do. plus not only they spread it they fund it through fox, and the right wing grifters, its been well documented. i tried calling it out alot on reddit(in the 2018s).

            i dont think they 100% actors of propaganda being spread, but they make it vastly more than USA,china,iran which are small fries. i think USA works primarly in the states mostly to keep R and D divided, of course as you know with russian help as well.
