In 1911, “autism” was coined to describe withdrawal in schizophrenic patients. paracetamol wasn’t prescribed as an analgesic until the late 1940s The timelines don’t overlap—there’s no plausible link between autism and the drug paracetamol www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Please know that this is Trump scaremongering. There is no good scientific evidence linking paracetamol (Tylenol) to autism. A 2024 Swedish study of 2.4 million births found no relationship whatsoever between exposure to paracetamol in utero & subsequent autism. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

'Farage's core claim is that he somehow speaks for the British people, that his views reflect the “commonsense” views of the silent majority. It’s not true. On issue after issue, including those that define him, he is out of step with most Britons.' Latest column www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
