"It isn't particularly strong - it's effectiveness is probably one step above spit, but it is better than nothing when you're dealing with pregnancy cramps or a fever.

And despite Trump's difficulty pronouncing it, he went all in on establishing a causal link between using Tylenol while pregnant and giving birth to a child with autism."
"Families appealing the dismissal of their lawsuits alleging that Kenvue's Tylenol or generic versions of the pain-relief medication caused their children's autism are asking an appeals court to consider President Donald Trump's new advice that pregnant women avoid the pain killer as it decides whether to revive their lawsuits....U.S. District Judge Denise Cote in Manhattan last year dismissed more than 500 lawsuits against Kenvue and retailers that sold store-brand acetaminophen,"
Tylenol is depicted as a mild pain reliever commonly used for pregnancy cramps and fevers. Lawsuits alleged that prenatal use of acetaminophen caused autism spectrum disorder or ADHD in children. A federal judge dismissed more than 500 such lawsuits, finding the plaintiffs' expert testimony inadmissible and evidence insufficient. Plaintiffs are appealing the dismissal and ask an appeals court to consider recent high-profile public statements advising pregnant women to avoid the drug. Scientific research recognizes multiple genetic contributors to autism, including genes such as AVPR1a, DISC1, DYX1C1, ITGB3, SLC6A4, RELN, RPL10, and SHANK3.
