Donald Trump the Megathread part II - Mod Warning updated in OP 12/2/26

It's not aspirin, its paracetamol/acetaminophen. Im not "backing" anything. I just said that I had heard about the link before and posted one of the studies, there have been several. I didn't even know anything about what he had said about it when I replied to that post.

Also, that's not really the conclusion if you read the link that I posted to the most recent analyis from Harvard. They state that:

The researchers analyzed results from 46 previous studies—representing data from over 100,000 participants—that investigated the potential link between prenatal acetaminophen use and subsequent NDDs in children. The researchers used the Navigation Guide Systematic Review methodology—a gold-standard framework for synthesizing and evaluating environmental health data—which enabled them to conduct a rigorous, comprehensive analysis that supported evidence of an association between acetaminophen exposure during pregnancy and increased incidence of NDDs.

The researchers noted that while steps should be taken to limit acetaminophen use, the drug is important for treating maternal fever and pain, which can also harm children. “We recommend judicious acetaminophen use—lowest effective dose, shortest duration—under medical guidance, tailored to individual risk-benefit assessments, rather than a broad limitation,” they wrote.

Does that mean that paracetamol is "the" cause of autism? obviously not, but to just write it off and ridicule it because someone you dont like drew attention to it is also stupid.

That was a typo for the record, I had aspirin in my head accidentally. My point stands though. The study doesn't go anywhere close to finding causation. Meanwhile we've got far more proof that health issues during a pregnancy can cause neurodevelopmental issues. So the reason for needing pain relief could be a hell of a lot more relevant. It's absolutely not the gold standard of science that he claims it is.

"The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists said in a statement provided to CBS News on Friday that "there is no clear evidence that proves a direct relationship between the prudent use of acetaminophen during pregnancy and fetal developmental issues."

"Neurodevelopmental disorders, in particular, are multifactorial and very difficult to associate with a singular cause," ACOG said. "Pregnant patients should not be frightened away from the many benefits of acetaminophen, which is safe and one of the few options pregnant people have for pain relief.""

Now, if RFK comes out with the claim that autism is caused by vaccines which is completely debunked, will you be treating that as credible as well?

What I posted is part of the conclusion of the actual paper… Any reason that you chose to ignore that there's a well established link between fevers and neurodevelopmental issues? Also let me just repeat the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists also agree there is no clear link between autism and paracetamol.

Here's a study from Sweden from last year, across 2.5 million children with various neurodevelopmental disorders. No associations found between paracetamol use and neurodevelopmental disorders. So for RFK to definitively to find a link that the scientific community hasn't found is nonsense.

I'm referring to this quote from the HHS. There's not anything close to a definitive link to autism and paracetamol. The study you linked to isn't even willing to state there is. An association does not equal a clear link. So the studies are interesting but it really doesn't establish anything strongly at all.

"We are using gold-standard science to get to the bottom of America's unprecedented rise in autism rates. Until we release the final report, any claims about its contents are nothing more than speculation," the spokesperson said.

Now I'll repeat, if he claims autism and vaccines are linked, will you justify it?

He's not debasing them, he's debasing himself and the country.

Like, I've always thought it's absurd to hear people in Parliament use terms like "My Honourable Friend" and "The Honourable Gentleman" but it's hell of a lot more preferable to a decomposing imbecile say "Crooked Hilary" for the 20,139th time.

So,the story is that trump was an informant in something that trump says didn’t happen ?

What indigenous industry would this be? There's a reason all of the big, innovative companies are American. There are already incentives in place at the national and European level to encourage domestic businesses but there's a reason Europe lags behind the US when it comes to tech.

Epstein wanted favours returned for delivering Melania, Trump does not pay anyone least of all return favours to suckers, he's a 6 time bankrupt, Epstein had the goods on Trump, probably some excellent vids, he pushed Trump too far, probably others and got taken out, permanently.

The clown show continues....

When you see Zuckerberg's hot mic aside to Trump ** the question is "what is actually genuine" about process in this "administration " ?

On a positive note my dream last night featured a Trump who had either resigned or was in the process of so doing.

It was a relaxed affair :-)

** to paraphrase "was my lie good enough,Lord Chum?"

Neurodevelopmental condition would be what tends to describe it. It's definitely not considered an illness. But yep, you'll get more extreme scenarios or milder symptoms where it's simply adapting how you live somewhat. You get a huge overlap between it and things like ADHD, dyspraxia, dyslexia etc.

But in plenty of technical fields from technology to music, you get plenty of neurodiverse people. So plenty do fair well and providing supports in education etc is more important than declarations of what RFK thinks on a given day. In fact I'd view the latter as harmful, it just gives the idea that it's necessary to prevent neurodiverse people existing in the first place.

Rant over..

Yes.

Outside the MAGA cult, you have Americans who are watching their country get debased and their standard of living drop.
