Tylenol is a brand. Acetominophen was created in 1878 (or 1852, depending on who you ask).

e: That doesn't make RFKJr not wrong and insane, in case it needed saying.

Wasn’t ibuprofen what they were blaming? Or did they switch to acetaminophen?

Edit: just saw the Trump clip, now it’s acetaminophen’s fault, lmao. Funny how it’s something that’s actually safe to take for pain during pregnancy, because of course they can never pass up a chance at making women suffer

I only ever saw Tylenol.

They don't care about women's suffering, but I think this is a case where it's incompetence rather than malice.

What's extra crazy about this is that one thing we do know, for certain, can be damaging to a fetus is for the mother to have a fever. Acetaminophen reduces fevers. This is yet another case of an anti-vaxx nutjob thinking the cure is worse than the disease.

Not to mention, this doesnt prove tylenol doesnt cause cancer, it just proves that tylenol isnt the only cause of cancer.

Obv it doesnt, but this argument is just bad.
