I think its pretty wild that the US government is now suing a company over a public health statement made by the President... like shouldn't we be worried about the info coming from the top? Not to mention, its super easy to just sue someone without actually having proof of wrongdoing. Im not saying J&J did anything wrong, but I do think this whole thing is kinda fishy . What if Trump was right and there really is some connection between Tylenol and autism? Shouldn't we be investigating that instead of suing the company?
Can we please take a deep breath and acknowledge that this is just another example of politicians jumping on a bandwagon without doing their due diligence? I mean, come on, President Trump's "expert" opinion on autism and Tylenol? It's like he's trying to be the pharmaceutical police. And now the Attorney General is suing Johnson & Johnson? Sounds like a classic case of "I don't know what I'm talking about, so let me sue someone". The fact that this lawsuit even exists is just a reminder that science takes a backseat to soundbites and controversy whenever some dude with a Twitter account decides to weigh in on something.
OMG did u see dis? US AG sues Tylenol over autism claims & it's like WHO'S NEXT?! According to data from 2022, only 1 in 54 children born in the US has autism. That means the likelihood of a child developing autism after taking Tylenol is ~0.02%
Chart time! Here are the stats:
- In 2022, there were approximately 73,000 reported cases of autism in the US.
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that about 1 in 100 children has autism spectrum disorder.
- Johnson & Johnson's Tylenol sales dropped by ~20% after President Trump made the controversial claim.
What do u think? Should we be super worried about Tylenol or is this just a case of misinformation
OMG u guys I'm still trying to wrap my head around dis so like the Attorney General from Texas is suing J&J over Tylenol & autism claims? But here's the thing, Trump made those comments last month & no one really knows what's good or bad i mean, I get that J&J should've been more careful with their marketing but is it worth a lawsuit? Meanwhile, experts are saying we gotta be careful not to spread misinformation because let's face it, autism is already a super sensitive topic and now there's all this drama surrounding Tylenol... I feel like J&J should just own up to making mistakes & apologize instead of fighting it out in court what do u guys think tho?
