I took paracetamol in both my pregnancies for minor joint troubles. I had a better pregnancy experience because I wasn't in pain. Neither of my kids is autistic. The high-quality studies and reviews confirm there is NO evidence that paracetamol taken by the mother causes autism in the child. 🧪

30 years since this happened (28 since I wrote about it). I still recall that wonderful tree and the generosity of my patient in her final illness. www.bmj.com/content/315/...

Laughable as this is, the reality is that many will take it at face value.

Many more who are undecided will hesitate further.

The upshot being that kids will get ill, disease will spread, and decades of hard-earned public health gains will be lost.

It is a shameful, callous act.

Heartbreaking.

Your periodic reminder that mRNA vaccines are a scientific and public health game-changer. Those that have been approved have passed stringent efficacy and safety checks. They protect you and your child against potentially fatal diseases. You may, however, get a sore arm.
