…he couldn’t pronounce acetaminophen. BBC had to pull the plug on his announcement ( can’t remember them having to do that before). Seems to me his news conferences need to be time lapsed and fact checked. Or maybe the news media in this country might consider not showing every press conference, every word he utters…#justsaying

I did not take anything, but it is an individual choice that fits with your pain levels, your consumption levels and your family history, I guess. No real studies, but then

I was given morning sickness pills - perfectly safe said the medical practitioners in 1978, even though grumblings were as early as 1961, there were no real studies then either.

(My neighbour gave me ginger beer (this is not an alcohol for non UK readers) and it worked, so I did not take the pills, thank heaven - we all know about Thalidomide.....

MMR is bad? It was noted that the measles vaccine on its own was dangerous, when it first came out. I was hospitalised by measles itself, but I met parents with severely autistic children who attributed it to the vaccine.
Many years later my godson was refused vaccine on the grounds that medical folks thought the link between his lactose and chestiness issues made it a high risk.

Whilst I think it was totally irresponsible for a POTUS to announce this, there is a recent study which indicates that it could cause problems in unborn children.

No it doesn’t. Correlation and causality are not the same thing.
