When Donald Trump boasts that he has started seven wars or created the greatest economy in our lifetime, or that he'd solve inflation on day one of his presidency, you can chalk it up to the fact he's a classic bullshitter whose propaganda models are Roy Cohn and Joseph Goebbels, tell a lie and never back down. But this week, when he told pregnant women it was dangerous to take Tylenol, it could cause autism in their child.
He said, quote, fight like hell, tough it out, end quote, even if you're in pain. He and his quack health advisors led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will next try to claim that vaccines are related to autism. None of this is backed by scientific research or medical experts who say if a woman has a temperature, she ought to take, pregnant woman has a temperature, she ought to take Tylenol. Now I rarely take Tylenol.
And I've never been pregnant, but from family experiences, I know it's dangerous if a pregnant woman is ill or has a fever and just tries to quote, tough it out. That could really be a dangerous prescription. Recall during COVID, Trump recommended ingesting bleach, which I guess may have cured his bone spurs.
