  • Here’s everything I know about this whole thing:

    There has been a lot of research into the subject but there’s also been unreliable data that is being used to intentionally misrepresent what has been found (hence the correlative vs causal relationships).

    So the current well agreed on science is:

    • All current fever reducing medications (and most other medications) are correlated with detectably increasing the chances of a child being born with autism, including Tylenol
    • Having a fever while pregnant is correlated with increasing the chances of a child being born with autism well beyond the level that Tylenol would pose
    • So, strategically using Tylenol would be the best way to mitigate all risks. Which is also what was the general recommendation was prior to this DoH announcement.











  • There are plenty of uses for it. There are also plenty of bad implementations that don’t use it in a way that helps anyone.

    We’re going through an overhyped period currently but we’ll see actual uses in a few years once the dust settles. About 10 years ago, a similar thing happened with AI vision and now everyone has filters they can use on cameras and face detection. We’ll reach another plateau until the next tech hype comes about.
