"Ken Paxton's bullshit lawsuit against the makers of Tylenol, built on Trump and RFK Jr.'s bullshit press conference in which they pretended that science says acetaminophen causes autism, is off to a predictably bad start. I had a bit of a laugh shortly after this turd was filed, mainly because Kennedy himself came out after the lawsuit was filed to walk back the claims made in the press conference and acknowledged that all that science he and Trump cited "is not sufficient to say it"
"A Texas Judge has rejected a request from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to issue a temporary order barring Tylenol's maker, Kenvue, from claiming amid litigation that the pain and fever medication is safe for pregnant women and children, according to court documents.In records filed Friday, District Judge LeAnn Rafferty, in Panola County, also rejected Paxton's unusual request to block Kenvue from distributing $400 million in dividends to shareholders later this month."
Ken Paxton filed suit against Tylenol's maker grounded in claims that acetaminophen causes autism, claims originally advanced by Trump and RFK Jr. Kennedy later acknowledged the cited science "is not sufficient to say" acetaminophen definitely causes autism and urged consultation with doctors. A Texas judge denied Paxton's requests for a temporary order preventing Kenvue from stating the product is safe for pregnant women and children and denied blocking $400 million in planned dividends. The lawsuit aligns with performative political positioning as Paxton and other Republicans compete in the Senate primary.
