This timeline is so fucked that J & J somehow managed to be the good guy for once..
Less the good guy, more a target of a bad guy.
Hillbilly Tyrannical Fascist Government
VS
Monopolistic Corrupt Big Pharma Corporation
Who would win?
Stay tuned!
Pharma. Regardless of who's involved, being able to sue somebody based on made up bullshit is not a good precedent
Yes, but when was the last time these guys cared about "precedent"? I agree in thinking Pharma wins, but only because money. One CEO visit to the Whitehouse and some brown nosing and Trump will start saying how they're "good people".
We have always been at war with Eastasia.

Many have tried, and many have failed to sue them due to a lack of evidence.
There has been no new evidence btw.
it isn't lawsuit in a traditional way.
there's no law in this country anymore. they are asking for a bribe
Is there any science proving this? Could I sue "Buckley's Cough Syrup" because of my gut feeling that they caused my toenail fungus?
Short answer no. Also correlation is not causation Let's say child autism is correlated with infection at a certain age then it could be the infection and not the thing you took for the infection.
They are dumb fucks who cannot read studies. Remember COVID?
a buddy of mine got a flu shot and then while walking out of the pharmacy he was hit by a car. Coincidence? No way.
It's in the article. The short answer is NO.
Wait the state is suing the company? Shouldn't it be the other way around? The company suing the CDC and RFK Jr. personally due to the clearly slanderous statements?
I read this as "Tylenol sues Texas for libal"
Took me a few re-reads to understand the idiots spreading the libel are the ones suing. They're gonna get counter-sued real fast.
Unfortunate that the tax payers will shoulder the burden.
Edit: this is a strange way for a company to get a government subsidiary:
- lobby stupid politicians to sue you for stupid reasons
- countersue.
- ...
- Profit.
God I hope texas eats a big old pharma dick on this one. I feel like they're just anti women at this point.
Well, some lawyers are about to make a shit load of money as this drags out for a decade.
Texas failing once again at using facts and science. They love to shoot themselves in the foot and blame others for making the gun that shot them.
If there is a civil war, I suspect that Tylenol would be on the side of the Allies & Union. Texans and MAGA will have to use homeopathic remedies to (not) ease their pain.
Oh man crunchy tarot card constellations witches are going to be so confused which side to join.
I imagine it’ll be the homogeneous fascists vs our diverse, rag tag team of misfits. The witches may not like being shoulder-to-shoulder with J&J, but J&J aren’t the ones who made it so the witches can be accused of terrorism and imprisoned due to being “anti-christian.” So they’ll probably begrudgingly accept it.

Hopefully Tylenol sues texas back for being malicious idiots.
It turns out someone really was after his lucky charms!
Texas based leprechaun association sues all Texan kids for lucky charm thefts going back to the 70's!
Grifters have to make up the losses from Trump somehow.
As usual our AG is being an ass
There's no controversy in the health community!!! There's no link between acetaminophen and autism, period!
Can’t help but notice you used exclamation marks instead of periods. Sincerely, the pedantic community.
You can put an exclamation point at the end of any sentence instead of a period! Multiple exclamation points are also acceptable!!!
It was an attempt to be funny because they went out of their way to say “period” but then used an exclamation mark instead. Oh well.
If this were about cars it would be like they are suing one car company for having windshields.
This is so fucking stupid. I wouldn’t root for JJ for some of the shit theyve done in the past but I hope they put all their weight into fucking up RFKjunior for being so fucking stupid.
