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.
oh i meant that the american reading ability, which is closely tied to the education system, is averaging sixth grade; that also means they lack the education to analyze texts and information above what is written; things like intent of an author, what the context is and what someone wants to achieve with the published information are completely lost when you lack the ability to read above a certain level. this is completely homemade, mainly by republicans who like their voters easily controlled.
Ahh. Completely agreed when you spin it like that. In fact, I’ve got a direly unwanted mountain of lived experience dealing with the exact sorts you’re conjuring, as I grew up in one of the podunkiest towns you can imagine. Not to say I’m particularly learned or clever (I’d like to think myself more honest than that lol), but the agony that is having to work under/take orders from these goons is something I’d only ever wish on the worst of us. Change can not come soon enough on so, so many gd levels :|
