Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing Johnson and Johnson, accusing the pharmaceutical company of failing to warn consumers about the risk of taking Tylenol while pregnant.

This lawsuit, the first of its kind from a state government, comes a month after President Donald Trump and U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced updated guidance discouraging pregnant women from taking acetaminophen, citing it as a possible cause of autism. The announcement set off a wave of controversy in the health care community, and confusion among pregnant women unsure how they should manage fever and pain during pregnancy.

Exactly. Like Republicans in 2020 wouldn’t bring any election denial claims to court cause the had no actual evidence

    But they did bring them to courts. There were over 60 lawsuits and only successfully proved something like 20 fraudulent ballots, in one audit, across all of them. Nearly all of them were thrown out due to a lack of evidence. Pretty sure these are the things that got Rudy disbarred.

    There’s always fraudulent ballots, though, and from my understanding, they are always looked into. That stuff is unrelated to the conspiracy theory stuff his team of “lawyers” were pushing out. They would claim things in the media and then never bring them up in court.
