This lawsuit comes a month after U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. updated guidance discouraging pregnant women from taking acetaminophen, citing it as a possible cause of autism.

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.

    The reasons I’ve concluded why they hate us ND folk:

    1. We are too intelligent

    2. We reject authority

    3. We look at stupid people like they’re stupid

    4. We make jokes that non-stupid people laugh at

    5. Society is dependent on us for any sort of luxury

      1. ND folk make for an easy scapegoat for excuses to grab at yet more power.

      With these kinds of people, it’s rarely personal. They only care what these actions can do for them, not how those actions affect others, whether it’s part of their in group or not.
