It is better to be safe than sorry, so avoid, also acetaminophen has been around longer than Tylenol, when was acetaminophen first released ? Autism was first observed around 1911, and also let's not lose focus, acetaminophen is probably not the only contributor to Autism.
There are much more convincing contributors to autism that we already know about such as valproate and certain infections to start the list. I’ve written about the history of autism in my “You’re being lied to about chronic disease, part 2” post if you have any interest in learning more about the epidemiology.
Science means arguing the case on its merits, and arguing on the merits is exactly what they are trying to avoid by calling anyone who disagrees with them, “anti-science”.
A real scientist said, “Science is not a set of beliefs. Scientists don’t believe anything… You always have to be ready to have your favorite theory proven wrong, and if you’re not, you shouldn’t be doing science”.
The unstated implication is that vaccines are so obviously and universally safe that the only reason even to study their safety would be an anti-science bias which, incidentally, is common among fanatics of the Far Right.
With history literally at our fingertips in the information age, how does anyone still believe in “settled science”?
Science can’t BE settled. That’s what makes it SCIENCE. It’s an investigative tool. Any scientists who claims their answer is the correct answer is a shit scientist. At best, they have evidence to support a theory, but it’s STILL a theory. Consume scientific conclusions at your own risk.
You’re 90% on the mark here. Where you really missed the mark is saying “it’s still just a theory.” What you mean to say is hypothesis. This is a very common mix-up from people whose education lies outside of science since the word theory has another meaning within philosophy.
Thank you Jo for a deeper and more complex look at the issues and what lies (pun not intended!!) behind the reporting. I particularly appreciated the insight around the 'survival brain' looking for simplistic, one-cause answers and using tribalist responses.
You did what almost no one does, you read the actual studies before forming an opinion. The glutathione pathway is plausible enough to warrant investigation, and “don’t take it if you don’t need it” shouldn’t be controversial. the real story is what you buried in the middle: total toxic load has never been properly studied because nobody with funding wants the answer.
Tylenol the brand is not as old as autism but acetaminophen was there, back in the day you went to the chemist/pharmacist to get drugs seldom brand names, The problem is not the brand but the chemical, so it should include the generic brands as well, and this is not the first drug/chemical that has been found to cause side effects, the thing is to have enough enough sense to comprehend what is being said deal with it and move on. and fyi they will find more.
Scientists have already found other drugs with much more convincing associations with autism than acetaminophen like Valproate. Infections are another surprising association.
yes and there are probably even more and not just about autism, there is a laundry list of conditions that they blame on "genetics" that can be traced back to "treatments" They do not aim to heal they mask the symptoms and do a rinse and repeat
Modern medicine’s claim of providing “cures” is a marketing narrative. The evidence reveals a system focused on symptom management that often ignores root causes, creating a cycle of harm and dependency.
Symptom Suppression Creates New Disease:
Drugs frequently mask symptoms while inducing new, more severe pathologies.
NSAIDs: Long-term ibuprofen use triggers GI bleeding in >15% of users.
Statins: 50% of long-term users develop insulin resistance, fueling a polypharmacy crisis where the average U.S. senior takes ≥5 daily medications.
Acetaminophen: Prenatal exposure is linked to a 20% increased autism risk (2021 study).
Systemic Downplaying of Severe Harms:
Significant iatrogenic risks are systematically dismissed.
mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines: Caused >24,000 VAERS-reported myocarditis cases (75% in males under 30) and were associated with >1,600 fetal deaths, yet were labeled “safe.”
Antidepressants: 80% of their perceived efficacy is attributable to placebo effects [17].
Diagnostic Failures from Symptom-Focus:
The priority on quick relief leads to missed diagnoses, especially for complex conditions and marginalized groups.
Gender Bias: 68% of patients with unresolved symptoms are women, often dismissed.
Long COVID: 64% remain symptomatic after 2+ years [18] as management fails to address root causes like neuroinflammation.
I'd like to see the laundry list, especially if it isn't chatgpt generated. I could in return, give you a laundry list of conditions that modern medicine is capable of curing. The fact that there are cases where modern medicine cannot figure out where a person's symptoms are coming from is just a testament to the fact that we need to do more research, stay humble, and admit we don't have all the answers. And sometimes in those cases, it's necessary to get rid of symptoms in order to ease suffering and help someone live their life.
It is comforting to note that, in this world of misinformation, there is still a voice, like Pulse, that can provide a common-sense approach to pressing everyday issues.
I agree sir! I've missed the work from The Pulse. These guys need more support as I find it hard to share a lot of other voices with my friends because the other voices are aggressive or insulting. This stuff is on point.
Thanks for this. I agree that one of the best thing that came out of the press conference was the open conversation about it, and that Trump directly pointed to vaccines as possibly being part of the toxic soup for that our vulnerable babies and children have difficulties processing. The politics had to follow what a critical mass now knows; we have a problem with toxins in our food, water, air, and pharmaceutical drugs like vaccines.
I’ve seen a kid lick the handrail on a NYC subway. That 2 second lick caused more “stress” to that kid’s immune system than the entire vaccine schedule lol
Jokes aside, I have written about some of these toxins specifically such as glyphosate and botox; even using things considered benign like Vitamin C to explain to laypeople what we understand about toxicology. Havent turned it into a substack post yet, but it could be next if you’re looking to learn more about toxins!
I'm not sure if you're joking or not -"That 2 second lick caused more “stress” to that kid’s immune system than the entire vaccine schedule". Our immune system lines all of our physical boundaries indicating inside our body and outside (as well as other areas of our body). There's a BIG difference for a child to encounter antigens/material on the handrail through his/her mouth, which their immune system lining their mouth, skin and saliva takes care of. Versus someone injecting those same antigens/material inside that child's body. One is a natural route that we've evolved to deal with, the other is unnatural.
There's not a big difference, the innate followed by adaptive immune response happens to antigens whether those antigens are discovered by the antigen-presenting cells in the mouth or in the subcutaneous tissue or muscle. Through the eyes of our immune system, a vaccine injection below the skin or in the muscle is no different than a puncture wound which our immune system has evolved to handle (except a vaccine also has less antigen load than a puncture wound).
What specifically do you disagree with? And if you don't mind me asking, what is your educational background on these subjects? I ask because maybe I just need to tailor my explanation a little better.
I appreciate the invitation, and I have found conversations like this unfruitful, as this one would take a prolonged back and forth about the details of what we know about the immune system and what we don't understand. I have a BS in biology, minor in chemistry, Masters in physical therapy, and worked int he health care field for 23 years. But I wish you well.
Great article, Joe. To me, what is important is to ask questions, and go look deeper than media/social media posts. And to get beyond the person giving a message, to look at what is behind the message. To think for ourselves, dig for information, ponder, and be able to talk with others about things we may not agree with each other about. You have laid out a great foundation for all of that, in this article. I anticipate that the "Tylenol issue" is an initial doorway to what will be a LOT more that will be coming forward about health (and how we understand health), corporate and political interests that are not about health but are cloaked to look and sound as if they are, and so much more. THANKS for what you write, and how you write about it!
Great sentiment wanting to dig for information. The reality of health is that it’s so incredibly complex that even the basic intro information is tough for a lot of people. I’ve tried to make it digestible through the “You’re being lied to about chronic disease” series I’m writing. Think you might be interested.
A crazy fact I heard recently, is that Big Wellness has actually surpassed the total market cap of Big Pharma. I thought wellness was only in the billions, turns out they hit the trillions too!
Shallow medical attention is an unfortunate reality of the for-profit insurance system and massive physician shortage, but thankfully it speaks nothing to the diagnostics/intervention efficacy. My concern with Big Wellness becoming this big is that the supplement/vitamin/herbal industries are much more loosely regulated in terms of evidence needed to make claims on a product as well as manufacturing standards. It's basically Big Pharma if you take the leash off.
They'd much rather shoot the messenger. Easier than exploring the possibility that they may be wrong.

Joe! My man! Here's my recent works on this topic! Takeaway, from a pure pharmaceutical perspective, vaccines are by far the number one culprit: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/how-vaccines-cause-autism-breaking
Next, Tylenol is a wasted opportunity to address the root cause, as discussed in the Congressional hearing two weeks ago: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/how-a-congressional-hearing-revealed
Once again, a beautifully written, unbiased piece. Excellent work, Joe. Thank you always!
