Tylenol
Litigator Take on Tylenol
The administration making the autism/Tylenol the focal point is a brilliant first move against vax immunity. My take:
From what I’ve seen, it’s Tylenol in conjunction with vaxes that is producing brain damage. The vaxes have statutory immunity and those cases get shunted off to the Federal Court of Claims’ Vax Court division. Fed Vax Court is basically a board of adjustment that pays some compensation but is not a real adversarial process and basically has NO DISCOVERY.
With this move, Tylenol is going to get sued in Federal Court as the product doesn’t have immunity. The injured plaintiffs need to prove the Tylenol either alone or in concert with a vax caused the autism. Kenvue/J&J’s position to escape liability will have to be it was the vax alone that caused the injury.
Both sides are going to subpoena the vax manufacturers for research and data. Both sides will put on experts about the vax interactions. At the end of the day both sides are going to be making public that the vaxes are not always “safe and effective.” I think this is the goal — to cause the public outcry as a reason to rescind vax statutory immunity.
The funniest part is seeing J&J get weaponized against the other vax makers.
Acetaminophen Litigation from RTCL
Multidistrict Litigation proceeding in federal
court in NY in which the plaintiffs have long been alleging that Tylenol
and other acetaminophen makers failed to warn pregnant mothers that the
drug may cause autism, ADHD, and other things.
The Trump Administration’s announcement this week has thrown major drama into that case. Highlighted article attached.
Quick recap. A bunch of folks sued the acetaminophen manufacturers in a wave
of “failure to warn” product-liability cases. These were not class
actions—too many differences in the individual facts—but they were
similar enough to be grouped together and sent to a single court to
efficiently handle various common pretrial matters before sending them
back for individual trials. This is called a “Multidistrict Litigation”
proceeding, or MDL. Among the pretrial matters at issue in this MDL
was accepting or rejecting expert witnesses. The plaintiffs offered
five experts to testify that acetaminophen is linked to autism, etc.
But the District Court rejected all five. One of the
proposed-but-rejected experts is Andrea Baccarelli, the same guy whose
research the White House relied on.
After the adverse rulings on experts, the plaintiffs appealed to the Second
Circuit. That appeal has been going awhile, and the briefing is already
closed. Oral argument is scheduled for the fall.
So what happens next? Here’s my guess: The plaintiffs will either seek
to supplement their Second Circuit briefing or they’ll file a “notice of
supplemental authority” citing the Administration’s new action (“I’ve
got information, man! New shit has come to light!”). If the Second
Circuit finds these new developments material (and I think they should,
but who knows), then they’ll probably remand the case to the District
Court with instructions to redo its expert analysis in light of the
Administration’s finding.
FDA Responds to Evidence of Possible Association Between Autism and Acetaminophen Use During Pregnancy FDA
Evidence in recent years has suggested a correlation between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and subsequent diagnosis of conditions like autism and ADHD. Multiple large-scale cohort studies, including the Nurses’ Health Study II and the Boston Birth Cohort, find this association. Some studies have described that the risk may be most pronounced when acetaminophen is taken chronically throughout pregnancy.
It is important to note that while an association between acetaminophen and neurological conditions has been described in many studies, a causal relationship has not been established and there are contrary studies in the scientific literature. It is also noted that acetaminophen is the only over-the-counter drug approved for use to treat fevers during pregnancy, and high fevers in pregnant women can pose a risk to their children. Additionally, aspirin and ibuprofen have well-documented adverse impacts on the fetus.

Jesus vs Moon Landing
Hi Adam,
So let me get this straight .. you believe that a sandals-wearing guy died on a cross and then came back to life -- but you can't believe humans walked on the Moon? The former being "documented" in a apocryphal bunch of papyrus leaves and the latter being actually televised?
You also believe that the some 100k+ people who worked on the program just made it all up?
It would have been easier, back in the 60's, to just do it than to fake it. We didn't have AI back then.
Yes, Amateurs can track missions and the associated Doppler shift of Moon missions:
I almost had to stop to pod mid-stream after hearing this crap.
Also, I work for NASA.
My views do not reflect those of my employers, but I'm sure they'd also call bullshit on your hoax hypothesis.
73.

Free Speech
Free Speech vs Freedom of Speech RTCL
Adam—At
the risk of alienating you, the term “free speech” has never bothered
me personally. You’re right that the term used in the First Amendment
is “freedom of speech.” You can’t go wrong using the very words that
are enshrined in the Constitution. But I view the term “free speech” as
mere shorthand intended to say “speech protected by the First
Amendment.” As always, your mileage may vary.
However,
I agree with you that dunderheads who’ve never had a civics class may
interpret the phrase “free speech” to mean “speech without cost or
burden.” And that’s a problem. No one has to underwrite anyone else’s
freedom of speech. You want to start a newspaper? Buy a printing
press. You want to sound off on X? Agree to their EULA and endure the
advertisements.
So
while I agree that the Constitution doesn’t protect you from the cost
of speech, I don’t really get exercised about people using the term
“free speech.”
I hope you still like me.
Social media is Free Speech
Free speech is more of a commerce term, sorry that is the best I can.
"Free speech" can be taken away because it is granted to you by someone
as a promise using their medium. Social media has never been a "free
speech" space, and they will always take away someone's voice if they
don't like it, and they will/can do that. News outlets have never been a
venue for free speech.
Kimmel ratings
After a near week-long suspension, Jimmy Kimmel’s eponymous late-night talk show scored 6.26 Million total viewers in its first episode back on the air. This feat was achieved despite its unavailability across 23% of US TV households as Nexstar and Sinclair preempted the show across its ABC-affiliated markets.
In the key 18-49 demographic, the show earned a 0.87 rating, marking the show’s highest regularly scheduled episode since March 2015.
Big Tech AI and the Socials
Epstein
Trump Card Epstein
The Trump card for foreigners to buy their way into the US is for a very special purpose.
The world’s many blackmailed elite who are on the Epstein and other similar lists, are being given an opportunity to get out from under their blackmail and start over: Flip on their blackmailers, cooperate with US authorities and they are given the opportunity to buy their citizenship aka safe passage into the US AND bring their wealth with them tax free. Not a bad price for the truth and the evidence. Thats a lot of billionaires that could be coming to the US to invest in ‘merica!
This is also why the release of the Epstein list has been “delayed” as these agreements are still taking shape as people continue to come forward to accept the deal.
Kash Patel is embedded with this process via his Vegas ties as the liaison between both worlds. Kash has a storied past relating to these blackmail operations making him the perfect middleman. This is why he’s been stalling and acting shady. He needs more time to make these deals.
