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. 🧪

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.

It's astonishing to me that so much healthcare policy fails to take on board subject matter expertise or engaging the workforce in design or implementation and still expect success

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.
