    I mean if someone is doing that it actually would be the rare example where I could say someone is trump deranged. All medication prescription and non prescription is about weighing the potential risks vs benefits. Taking normal dosage of Tylenol is mostly harmless, and the reason a blanket statement of “it’s no harm, just don’t take tylenol” is a horrific mischaracterization even IF the studies cited showed a clear and blatent causal relationship between Tylenol and potential issues, because it’s simply weighing risk of treatement vs nontreatment. IE fever and pain are also things likely to negatively impact a pregnancy as well as the health of a mother.

    Taking any medicine while pregnant, when you do not currently have any condition it is treating is just stupid risk, and if you are taking more than the recomended dosage just to flex on an idiot, you are becoming an idiot yourself.

      Per Gizmodo, not the best source, but whatever, the Tiktok in question was from a Russian propaganda account. The woman in the video took two, read that, two Tylenol. The account claims she’s an associate professor at Columbia, but this is not verified as of yet. This is clearly just a brain rotted, worm ridden, old man’s paranoia.

      Let’s be clear here: this didn’t happen. If you actually gobbled handfuls of acetaminophen after a few days you’d experience excruciating stomach pain, turn yellow, and finally die of DIC with blood coming out of your orifices.
