thewayneThe Attorney-General of Texas, Ken Paxton, has decided to sue the corporations Kenvue, and Johnson and Johnson, the makers and former makers of the Tylenol family of pain relievers, citing “deceptively marketing Tylenol” knowing that it “leads to a significantly increased risk of autism and other disorders.”
WHEEEEEEEEEE!
President Pudding Brain did that lovely press conference a few weeks ago where he repeatedly said, with minor variations "“Don’t take Tylenol. There’s no downside. Don’t take it. You’ll be uncomfortable. It won’t be as easy maybe, but don’t take it if you’re pregnant. Don’t take Tylenol and don’t give it to the baby after the baby is born”. There were some supercuts of this made that were quite amusing.
A couple of interesting sidenotes. The first is that Paxton will probably not be in office when this goes to trial as he's running for the U.S. Senate, so this is purely performative to appease the Orange God. He's also facing Federal Charges, which I believe are still pending, on some campaign finance irregularities - he was impeached on Texas charges but of course the Republican Texas legislature without surprise or irony found him innocent. It's definitely in his best interest to get out of Texas local politics before a change in political power takes place, which could happen.
The reality of autism and Tylenol, of course, is that autism was first classified as a disorder over a decade before Tylenol came to market. Still, this could cause J&J and Kenvue to bend the knee and cough up millions of dollars to the "Trump Presidential Library".
I hope they fight and drive Paxton et al into the ground.
