    Tylenol is a brand. Acetominophen was created in 1878 (or 1852, depending on who you ask).

    e: That doesn’t make RFKJr not wrong and insane, in case it needed saying.

      Over half of Americans read at a 6th-grade level or lower and our President speaks at a 4th-grade level. How many you suppose know Tylenol and acetaminophen are the same thing?

            lol my guess is like 70% of people in the us don’t know what acetaminophen or paracetamol are, so Tylenol could just come out with Lonelyt Extra Stength and bam, sales

      Wasn’t ibuprofen what they were blaming? Or did they switch to acetaminophen?

      Edit: just saw the Trump clip, now it’s acetaminophen’s fault, lmao. Funny how it’s something that’s actually safe to take for pain during pregnancy, because of course they can never pass up a chance at making women suffer

      Not to mention, this doesnt prove tylenol doesnt cause cancer, it just proves that tylenol isnt the only cause of cancer.

      Obv it doesnt, but this argument is just bad.
