To be fair I don’t think CONCLUSIVE evidence is the bar we need to pass to be careful.
AFAIK paracetamol is proven to be very safe when used as recommended.
Also AFAIK there is ZERO evidence it should cause autism.
This is the vaccine bullshit all over again, false claims of crazy side-effects without any evidence, but only anecdotal bullshit, that if true research would have detected decades ago.
It’s like claiming water causes traffic accidents: “Hey my son drank a cup of water, and the next day he died in a traffic accident!”
Damned it’s tiresome to have to hear and see those morons get so much space in media by other morons all the time.
I’m not blaming this article, that’s an OK article, but the reason this article exist is the above.
That is the problem. The language of science versus the understanding of the language is science by the wilfully ignorant and shockingly stupid.
“There’s is no conclusive evidence…”
“So there is evidence!”
The most extensive study of acetaminophen use by pregnant women following 2.4 million women showed NO EVIDENCE OF ANY LINK BETWEEN TYLENOL/PARACETAMOL USE AND AUTISM.
The science/medical community needs to dumb it down the dumbth.
It’s pretty stupid to call it conclusive evidence, since evidence in science very rarely is conclusive. In medicine it’s generally statistic, and there are always a chance if you test 5 million people, that the 5 million and 1 will be different.
So it’s not about average people being unable to understand scientific terms in this case, but it’s simply not a reasonable statement by any normal use of the language. Of course there isn’t conclusive evidence, because that’s an insane bar.

If this shit caused autism then a stupid massive amount of gen Z and gen A would be autistic… which they aren’t…
