Texas sues Tylenol company over autism claims (www.texastribune.org)

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing Johnson and Johnson, accusing the pharmaceutical company of failing to warn consumers about the risk of taking Tylenol while pregnant.

This lawsuit, the first of its kind from a state government, comes a month after President Donald Trump and U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced updated guidance discouraging pregnant women from taking acetaminophen, citing it as a possible cause of autism. The announcement set off a wave of controversy in the health care community, and confusion among pregnant women unsure how they should manage fever and pain during pregnancy.

Grifters have to make up the losses from Trump somehow.

There's no controversy in the health community!!! There's no link between acetaminophen and autism, period!

The reasons I've concluded why they hate us ND folk:

We are too intelligent
We reject authority
We look at stupid people like they're stupid
We make jokes that non-stupid people laugh at
Society is dependent on us for any sort of luxury

ND folk make for an easy scapegoat for excuses to grab at yet more power.

With these kinds of people, it's rarely personal. They only care what these actions can do for them, not how those actions affect others, whether it's part of their in group or not.

Not really
Not always
Also at intelligent people sometimes
