Mr. Paxton filed the suit against Johnson & Johnson, which sold Tylenol for decades, and Kenvue, a spinoff company that has sold the drug since 2023.
The Texas lawsuit claims that the companies knowingly withheld evidence from consumers about Tylenol’s links to autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The suit also claims that Kenvue was created to shield Johnson & Johnson from liability over Tylenol.
This lawsuit is the first by a state that seizes on Mr. Trump’s allegations that the use of acetaminophen products like Tylenol during pregnancy could cause neurodevelopmental disorders. The issue has been a longstanding concern among some followers of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nation’s top health official, but the idea gained traction with Mr. Trump’s remarks.
From what I can tell they’ve got a few eggs in this basket:
JF©K Jr. and trump and Dr. Oz and the gang are selling the “cure” for autism which is just a random supplement and trying to scare people into buying it.
If they can tell the public that essentially the safest and most common medication is evil and everyone believes it, they can essentially say anything they want and define medicine for their own profit in the future.
Lawsuits can be profitable even if they’re bullshit. If they hurt a company and invest in their competitors, they can make money even while paying for a frivolous lawsuit. Plus they might even win with how brainwashed everyone is these days.
Autism and ADHD are scapegoats for conservatives and they can get people to follow them just by targeting these so called evil neurodivergencies. Kinda like Hitler targeting Jews and others for all of Germany’s problems, they target immigrants and neurodivergents and transsexuals (oh my lol).
Distract from the Epstein files and illegal overhaul / takeover of the government for fascism as always
Acetaminophen is toxic at high doses. Its pharmaceutical ratio is kind of shit.
It’s the number one cause of liver failure. Americans pop them like candy.
