Trump pacifies anti-vaccine allies by trashing shots alongside Tylenol
- Thread starter JournalBot
- Start date
Every day ends with me asking, How can Trump and MAGA get any dumber? And every following day they effortlessly do something dumber. If stupidity had any density, the US would have disappeared into a singularity by the end of the summer. I can't even imagine what they will do next year. Most likely indoor plumbing will be under attack next for causing autism.

I would never make fun of Trump for his weight, but I will absolutely lambaste his physician for his glowing pronouncement and declaring Trump is in ‘great’ shape despite his diet and obvious obesity.

Yes, that was in April, but he wasn’t significantly healthier then than he is now.

How about we just look at the scientific evidence instead?
And when it turns out (as it already has) repeatedly and reliably, that this just isn't an actual concern in real life (rather than in grifters' dire imaginations), how about we call it a day -- and concentrate our efforts on getting our children properly vaccinated against the deadly but preventable diseases that only a century ago reliably killed off the majority of our children?
Sound like a plan?
Does to me.

Thank you for writing such a direct article that smashed head on into all of the lies peddled by Trump and the anti-vaxxers. In spite of challenging some of his claims the mainstream media has tried too hard to be "balanced" about his unmitigated bullshit on paracetamol and vaccines.

I've got a better idea. Why don't you and the rest of your doubting cabal do the research to confirm if the question you claim to be asking hasn't already been answered. Check the published research results from, say, 1960 to 2023, looking to see if someone didn't already ask that question for each of the additives that you suspect are problematic, and publish the results.
If some subset of the additives were, in fact as opposed to supposition, never tested to ensure that they were safe in a way consistant with vaccine usage, then you get to run a series of trials to determine if they do pose a danger. And then publish the results; in a journal if you do a good job, on your own dime if you cut too many corners to get it published outside of fringe vaccine denial rants.
See you in a 'few' years time, and thank you for making the world a better place with your time, as opposed to spending your time simply repeating, 'But, what about...' over and over again.

I really do wonder what people who have had family die of covid think of all of this. And the victims of Epstein. Gut-punch, slap in the face, just doesn't do justice.

If a sane party ever manages to take back control of the US they're going to have such a hard time undoing the mess these morons are causing in a few short years... Trying to get people to understand that what was said earlier was bullcrap is much harder than convincing people of the bullcrap when that's the first thing they hear about it. So much misinformation and nonsense is going to linger around in the minds of so many people because of these loons...

What in the world, is everyone on drugs? Do most people not realize how insane this situation is? How can a crazy person like that still be president? How can he have totally imbecilic superstitious conspiracy nuts as part of the government?
How did the world get so crazy and why does no one seem to want to stop this? Besides railing against it online like me? (as impotent a gesture as this text)
I hope if something like this happened in my country a majority of people would rise up against it and demand a reelection.
Likelihood is though that we are just as moronic here as in the US.
Democracy can't be this stupid, there have to be safeguards against idiocy on this level.

To be accurate it happened despite of Trump's efforts to undermine it with his constand deluge of brain dead propaganda on Fox And Fiends.The orange pig spent more time blaming everyone but himself for his mismanagement of the pandemic. Let us not forget how he undermined and slandered former DHS head, Dr. Faucci on the media and the vaccine itself. (Remember the "Faucci ouchie"?)
The only reason the operation succeeded was due to the pharma industry's work alongside all the government officials that knew what to do and how when the government still had them to keep Trump's destructive nonsense under control. Now we live in a time where such an outbreak will be handled by Brain parasite clown and the Orange swine with a gaggle of sub par yes men only. The guardrails are completely gone.

AU this year mandated the maximum contents of a blister pack of 500mg paracetamol tabs is 50 down from 100. Not that you cannot buy more than one carton — I purchased three 100 packs just as those packs were being withdrawn. This is for sales from a pharmacy.
I think the max. size pack in a supermarket is now 15 — not that I have had any recent need to purchase any.
The rationale was the incidence of paracetamol overdose in self harming teens (predominantly female) was rising. Not the nicest way to go; I can only imagine Amanita phalloides (death cap) poisoning could be worse.

The IgNobel missed a trick, here... Would have been awesome if they would have invited Trump to receive a Darwin award. He probably would have beamed like rarely before. Not a single sycophant around him would have the guts to tell him what was really going on, and he would just enjoy it like the toddler he is.

Trump's been saying he deserves the Peace prize.
They could give him an IgNobel Peace prize, for his "brilliant" plan to end the war in Gaza, by expelling all the Palestinians, and build Trump Casinos there...

The medical fraternity ought to strike a medal with the inscription Ignoramus Sine Pari. I am certain Trump would be pleased as punch to receive the award.

It's available over the counter in the whole of the EU and the UK. Supermarkets sell it and have it on the shelf with the cold remedies.
You are limited to how many you can buy in one go but that applies to other OTC stuff too.

The military? That would require them to actually discover something called "courage" (AKA "backbone").
Not gonna happen any time soon.

Must include macerated fresh chili at 2,000,000 SCU heat and time release superglue.
Also include naloxone as we don't want any endorphins reducing the efficacy of the chili.

Civilised jurisdictions do - the UK has a specific offense of "misconduct in a public office". Quite a number of police have been dismissed for something that doesn't breach a specific threshold for criminal action using it.
Basically, any public employee (including police, fire, military and MPs) can be prosecuted under the statute.

Well, avoiding tylenol won't hurt you. I avoid it myself - my liver enzymes are reserved for the good stuff.
On the other hand, we have...
Pregnant Women Post Series of Tylenol Videos in Defiance of Trump
I hope they're careful. Consumption of Tylenol in excessive amounts is much more dangerous than excessive consumption of horse paste, of which I assume people also made videos in the day.

Every child (*) in the UK gets the BCG vacciene (against TB) at about age 12. Boys get it on the shoulder muscle of their non-dominant arm (mine is on my left shoulder) and girls get it on the back of the arm by the shoulder so that it isn't easily visible. Just leaves a small dimpled scar about 15mm across.
Or at least, that's how they did it in the mid 1970s.
(*) You get a scratch test first to see if you already have the antibodies - if you react to the scratch test, you don't need the vacciene since your body is already producing antibodies.

I would be equally content to be permitted to drop any of a short (US) ton, tonne or long (Imperial) ton of bricks in these prats. Or cast 160 stone of stones.
"metric" just as an intensifier — the place is overrun with metric imbecility.
Presumably the mononeuronal maga conflated "metric" with "meretricious" which is a far more accurate description of this administration particularly in its archaic sense.

I had a colleague that was very proud that she never took "chemicals" (by which she meant actualy theraputic drugs that had been through multiple clinical trials before being made available) but instead relied on 'natural' suppliments from the health food shop..
I did try to explain that they were "chemicals" too [1] - most likely made in a factory somewhere that isn't required to adhere to the medicines safety laws but her mind was tighter closed than Count Draculas coffin and high noon..
[1] Even the homeopathic ones being, essentially, sugar pills. After all, sugar is a "chemical"

There's a very good Russian (living in exile) prog rock group called Iamthemorning - they are very entertaining in concert with the between-song chats, explaining the Russian world viewpoint:
"We realised that our first album was dark and depressing so we thought "not dark and depressing enough!".

Maximum OTC packet size for OTC paracetamol is 16 500mg tablets and you can only buy one packet at a time (he says, looking at the OTC packet in front of him). Doesn't stop someone from going to another shop to get more but that requires planning and, hopefully, will make the instant desire to die fade.
Enough to make you ill (if you are relatively healthy) but not enough to kill.

Well - I guess you've never had gastic issues and are not T2 diabetic..
(Yes - I do sometimes have to take one ibuprofen and codeine tablet but I have to take it with plenty of milk or risk having the runs for the next two days. And thats even with taking esomeprazole..)
My regular prescribed painkiller is Co-codamol 30/500 (30mg codeine, 500 mg paracetamol, no more than 8/day)
