Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing Johnson and Johnson, accusing the pharmaceutical company of failing to warn consumers about the risk of taking Tylenol while pregnant.
This lawsuit, the first of its kind from a state government, comes a month after President Donald Trump and U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced updated guidance discouraging pregnant women from taking acetaminophen, citing it as a possible cause of autism. The announcement set off a wave of controversy in the health care community, and confusion among pregnant women unsure how they should manage fever and pain during pregnancy.
God I hope texas eats a big old pharma dick on this one. I feel like they’re just anti women at this point.
yeah, “feel like.”
Terrible decision from Texas.
Grifters have to make up the losses from Trump somehow.
It actually isn’t. This time.
If there is a civil war, I suspect that Tylenol would be on the side of the Allies & Union. Texans and MAGA will have to use homeopathic remedies to (not) ease their pain.
Oh man crunchy tarot card constellations witches are going to be so confused which side to join.
what strain u smokin
some good shit.
I imagine it’ll be the homogeneous fascists vs our diverse, rag tag team of misfits. The witches may not like being shoulder-to-shoulder with J&J, but J&J aren’t the ones who made it so the witches can be accused of terrorism and imprisoned due to being “anti-christian.” So they’ll probably begrudgingly accept it.
They’ll be on the side that they think can make them more money. There are no ethics in corporate America.
Just give them opiates or meth for everything, it makes them happy.
I am kinda expecting MAGA army doctrine to consist of hopped up human waves.
Sounds like Russia, hmmm…🤔
Just like the original Nazis
I’m not a lawyer but shouldn’t J&J be suing the Federal Government for making utterly unsubstantiated claims in an official announcement?
I really am baffled that they have not sued.
I believe it’s called slander?
I think they’re waiting for the damages to really rack up. Then they can sue the taxpayer for billions and nobody can stop them.
We could put on a really big tinfoil hat and say that this is all a plan to funnel billions of taxpayer dollars to J&J by way of crafting an airtight lawsuit for them to win and get awarded an absolutely massive payout.
Few years ago I would have agreed. Now, it is guaranteed this is some sort of grift. No conspiracy theory need apply.

Not too big of a hat. When J&J had cyanide laced Tylenol capsules come out of a production facility in Illinois in the 80s, not only did they lie to media about cyanide not being in the plant, the FBI repeated the lie and then Ronald Reagan gave a medal to the CEO to help convince Americans it was safe to take this drug, which is well known to cause liver damage.
Cold Case: The Tylenol Murders, is on Netflix.
At the time, FBI and Government told everyone the tainted drugs were from a lone nut who put cyanide in the bottles. After those deaths, all drugs have safety seals to this day.
But a second poisoning came from caplets sealed at the factory and prescribed in a hospital. Only then was it revealed that cyanide was present in the plant, used to calibrate QC instruments. What is incredible is that within a few years, Tylenol sales were stronger than ever in the US. The rest of world curbed use of this drug because of liver toxicity.
This timeline is so fucked that J & J somehow managed to be the good guy for once…
Less the good guy, more a target of a bad guy.
As usual our AG is being an ass
If this were about cars it would be like they are suing one car company for having windshields.
This is so fucking stupid. I wouldn’t root for JJ for some of the shit theyve done in the past but I hope they put all their weight into fucking up RFKjunior for being so fucking stupid.
Holy fuck, facts don’t care about your feelings has turned into let’s litigate on my feelings
My feelings don’t care about your facts!
I got a feeling of recognising a potential Eco’s ur-fascism element here, since probably the people that fuel these conspiracy theories have a different idea of what autism really is given their obsesion with this particular issue: someone that behaves not like us or incapable of blend in as we consider the standard society… also probably those pharmaceutical companies do not fund those politicians
We’re well beyond Eco’s idea of Ur-fascism (AKA nascent fascism). Shit ain’t nascent anymore.
I agree, I mostly realised of the link/source of the obsession with these conspiracy synergies
This is what happens when you put conspiracy theorists into office: You get them suing or attacking organisations for things that aren’t real.
Worst of all is that this probably will end in a settlement where the US government gets to claim they were right in exchange for just a “small” donation to the US government
That’s what colleges and networks were doing for a while, but since Kimmel stood up to them and won BIG, potential victims have been pushing back. Colleges are refusing money with strings, for one thing.
If J&J is smart (and it’s not clear that they are, although they are well-established to be evil), they’ll refuse to settle.
Is there any science proving this? Could I sue “Buckley’s Cough Syrup” because of my gut feeling that they caused my toenail fungus?
Short answer no. Also correlation is not causation Let’s say child autism is correlated with infection at a certain age then it could be the infection and not the thing you took for the infection.
They are dumb fucks who cannot read studies. Remember COVID?
No, because in a court of law, your feelings aren’t the thing that matters. :)
that doesn’t jive with Donna Strumpet being the president of the US
a buddy of mine got a flu shot and then while walking out of the pharmacy he was hit by a car. Coincidence? No way.
It’s in the article. The short answer is NO.
It turns out someone really was after his lucky charms!
Texas based leprechaun association sues all Texan kids for lucky charm thefts going back to the 70’s!
