Advil and aspirin are already not recommended for pregnant women.

So with this pseudo science misinformation, many women will avoid Tylenol when pregnant - and outcomes will be worse.

Threats to the unborn, thanks to our shit head Secretary RFK. Hope you're happy.

So, maybe people like you and ChicagoIrish should stop giving people the impression that the FDA recommends against Tylenol in every case.

And, after all, people should probably do what their doctor says, not what the newsmedia says, when it comes to their medical health. And, the whole covid situation shows that they should not blindly follow government recommendations.

Either way, you have to admit that hearing "threats to the unborn" concerns from the guy who thinks abortion is funny is, well, odd.

I've just been surprised by the level of emotional investment in the issue. But, when one realizes it likely comes more from anti-Trumpism, and less from concern for the unborn, it starts to make sense.

By the way, in case there is any doubt, there is no link between Tylenol and autism.

I save my "hero" designation for people who actually show heroism.

But, since you guys push people to base their medical decisions on pronouncements by government administrators, I suppose I can see why you get so upset when the Right does that as well.

An internet search indicates that a fever of 103 is where the government believes it may become medically necessary. One would hope a pregnant woman with a 103 fever would be seeking medical assistance and taking the doctor's advice...not turning on the TV to see what their party leadership says.

This issue is already getting politicized, and medical opinions are already being drowned out by political takes. Even doing a quick search on this very topic, a lot of the websites were not medical sites I trust. No Mayo Clinic or Cleveland Clinic or WebMD, just for example, were on the first page of search hits. That should tell you that politics is taking over and drowning out actual medical advice, which is a shame.

Aside: We take way to many painkillers in this country. Even in my family, everyone pops a couple advil with the slightest headache. I take a couple advil every few years. A headache is not the end of the world; I only take these medicines when something more serious is going on. We should probably all refrain from taking tylenol as much as we can reasonably do so. Just my personal opinion, of course.

...from America's Paper of Record...btw, any supporters of Donald Trump are intrinsically stained with his ethical failures...

President Trump’s aides have promised transparency about the funding of a new ballroom, but the White House withheld the identities of several donors to the project, including some with business before the administration, The New York Times found.

A list released last month by the White House of more than three dozen donors omitted donation amounts, as well as the names of several individuals and companies that collectively have billions of dollars riding on the outcome of administration policy decisions.

The rush of major business interests to fund a pet project of Mr. Trump’s has reinforced a perception in corporate America that the ballroom is a way to curry favor with, or seek protection from, a president who has repeatedly demonstrated a willingness to use the levers of government to help allies and punish foes.

Among the donors not disclosed by the White House are a pair of health care companies seeking to protect or expand Medicare reimbursement for their products, as well as the Wall Street powerhouse BlackRock, whose bid to acquire a stake in Panama Canal ports has been supported by Mr. Trump amid opposition from China. Another is Jeff Yass, a major investor in TikTok’s parent company who could benefit from a Trump-backed deal to keep the social media app up and running in the United States.

The chip-making giant Nvidia, which could be the beneficiary of a deal with the Trump administration to facilitate trade with China, was also not on the list of donors released by the White House. But last week the company’s chief executive revealed that it was among the donors, saying he was “proud to contribute in a small way to what will be a historic and national monument for our country.”

Still others attended a dinner at the White House last month for donors who gave $2.5 million or more to build the ballroom, but their presences were not disclosed by the administration, and not all of them have not publicly acknowledged whether they donated. They include Greg Brockman, the president of OpenAI, which has lobbied Mr. Trump’s team to block state artificial intelligence laws.

Mr. Trump’s fund-raisers have been circulating a pledge form, a copy of which was obtained by The Times, seeking contributions for the ballroom, which gives donors the option of withholding their identities from public disclosure. Such donations could remain anonymous in perpetuity, as the funds are being raised and managed by the Trust for the National Mall, a nonprofit registered under a section of the tax code for charities that provides benefits for donors including the ability to claim tax deductions and to keep their identities anonymous.

A White House official said in a statement that the identities of donors “who wish to be named publicly” will be disclosed, but that “donors also have the option to remain anonymous and we will honor that if that’s what they choose.”

Ethics experts have raised concerns about the donations, including the possibility that they could lead to special treatment for donors or test the bounds of a prohibition on federal agencies accepting gifts from private sources.

Mr. Trump has said he would supplement outside donations with his own money, and has cast the effort to build the ballroom as an apolitical, selfless act to address a lack of space inside the White House for some official dinners.

While the pledge form refers to the project as “the President Donald J. Trump Ballroom,” Mr. Trump said last week “I don’t have any plan to call it after myself.”

During a speech at the White House dinner for assembled donors, which he said numbered nearly 130 people, Mr. Trump promised that they would be among the first guests welcomed into the completed ballroom “if I still like you at that time, which I’m sure I will.”
