Surely something needs to change Fully agree…..although at least you could say that currently in the defence of the UK the choice of appointee is limited as they have to be an MP (or a member of the lords), whereas in the US (I think)* the President can literally appoint anybody as a Secretary of State. And for Health he really did appoint anybody. * with congressional approval Edited September 22, 2025 by Bertie Quote

That is because they are more likely to be smokers , but banning matches will not tackle the causes of lung cancer. He was the American medical guy who resigned the other week over the Kennedy/Trump influence. They will have us drink bleach next. Quote

What you at least see over here is, using the pandemic as an example there are serious scientists advising (albeit ignored at times) Quote
Spider Posted September 22, 2025 Posted September 22, 2025 I assume Tylenol have good lawyers. Because I’d have thought the a President blaming a product invented in 1955 on causing a condition that was identified in 1903 might in some way be defamatory. He is staggeringly, unendingly thick isn’t he? Quote

Personally I hope they all walk out instead. Might send a message to the lying narcissist of the special distain humanity holds for him and his self-serving cronies. Quote

None of which make the RFK claims correct by the way. Quote
Nowack Posted September 23, 2025 Posted September 23, 2025 I do think paracetamol is very much overused, if I have a headache and drink some water with or without it it tends to go in half an hour either way. That said if you have a fever and are pregnant then your temperature needs bringing down and paracetamol is the answer. Very dangerous to be throwing this kind of statement around with seemingly little evidence. Also targeting a brand rather than the generic is very odd. Quote
Popular Post Winchester White Posted September 23, 2025 Popular Post Posted September 23, 2025 His comments on vaccines are even worse, the bloke is a conspiracy peddling wanker. Quote
Bertie Posted September 23, 2025 Posted September 23, 2025 Anyway, isn’t today that supposed “Rapture Day” when Christians will suddenly ascend into heaven? Perhaps it will happen to Trumpy when he’s at the mic at the UN. Here’s hoping 🤞 Quote

kent_white Posted September 23, 2025 Posted September 23, 2025 Make absolutely no mistake about it. PEOPLE IN THE UK WILL DIE as a consequence on Donald Trump's proclamations on vaccines and to a lesser extent paracetamol. And it will be even worse in the states where people tend to give him more credence. Whatever your political leanings - this is anti science and should be rightly condemned. Quote
kent_white Posted September 23, 2025 Posted September 23, 2025 (edited) PS - if the evidence base ever changes around a particular vaccine or paracetamol - then I'll be the first person on here advocating for people to stop taking them. It's not an ideological thing for me. It's a data one. Edited September 23, 2025 by kent_white Quote

It's not an idealogical thing for me. It's a data one. You seem to be conveniently ignoring the fact the Robert Kennedy is in charge of all this. He’s obviously fully qualified to make the claims and I for one have tipped all my paracetamols down the bog this morning and had a splash of bleach in my coffee just to be on the safe side. Quote

Trust me, they are all in on the Trump Train. I notice he has been caught wearing a man nappy at these big events. He is a doddery old cunt though so thats to be expected. Quote

It's not an ideological thing for me. It's a data one. During the pandemic as the virus was better understood the advice on how to react to it changed, that is how science works. But the change is based on scientific evidence as you say. Woman on radio just said she would not take medical advice off Trump anymore than she would take advice off Noel Edmunds on tampons. Quote
