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.
I’m all for it. Let’s have discovery, let’s shine a light on this stupidity.
Exactly. Like Republicans in 2020 wouldn’t bring any election denial claims to court cause the had no actual evidence
These folks never change their views after a court case disproves something. They just assume some sort of deep state is in bed with “big pharma” - even if acetaminophen is a low cost and not a big money maker.
Assuming the process functions normally and doesn’t become political theatre.
Excellent joke, good sir!
We will never get the justice we want through procedure, legal argument and old-guard political players.
We only get the world we want through unified efforts to restructure politics from the ground up. Fuck Texas, let them rot and wallow in dark-ages mythology. While they’re spinning their wheels trying to make shit like phrenology and miasma theory work with modern systems, we can make our own communities shining beacons of reason if we work hard enough together.
You have a lot of faith in a jury system that has historically been terrible at evaluating scientific claims.
Well… here ya go.
