The Mystery that is Tylenol

By Greg Evans

Tylenol, or acetaminophen, or paracetamol, whatever you want to call it, has been in the news lately as a potential cause for autism in babies.

Scientists and researchers are critical of the government’s message for pregnant women to “put the Tylenol down and step away.”

The funny part is that nobody even really knows how Tylenol works. Just that it does. These “experts,” have not a clue, one way or the other. Why not ask them, then, what is going to happen in the stock market over the next five years and bet on the companies they pick. Better yet, bet your house and life savings on a craps roll because they said 6 is a lucky number. They know as much about that stuff as they do Tylenol, both sides of the political aisle, because, as expected, it has become a bureaucratic tug-of-war issue. Just the difference in pronunciation of bureaucratic (bur-o-cratek) and the spelling, is irritating, and now, bur-o-crats are again fighting over an issue that neither side understands.

Unlike NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), such as Advil, Tylenol does not reduce inflammation. It somehow impacts the right parts of the brain which lowers fever and reduces pain, but it’s a mystery to science, which means, nobody really knows anything, aside from the fact that Kenvue (formerly part of Johnson & Johnson, maybe they secretly still are), make more money in a week on Tylenol sales, after taxes, then you will in your entire life, working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.

What is the answer? Has knowing that things are bad ever really stopped people from, doing it, taking it, drinking it, smoking it, eating it, skydiving, camping in Alaska, camping in general, tailgating, etc., etc. It took raising the price of cigarettes astronomically so people could no longer afford it, for them to quit.

The government would have to charge $70 a pill to stop most people from using them. And even then they may take out a personal loan with Affirm, for a package of four pills. Why, you ask? Because people (adult human beings) are irrational, irresponsible, indignant, unreasonable, stubborn donkeys, know-it-alls, and psychotic.

The active ingredient of Tylenol, acetaminophen, was first discovered by chemist H.N. Morse, in 1878. Tylenol, the product, with analgesic (pain-relieving) & antipyretic (fever-reducing) properties was created in the 1950s, by Robert L. McNeill Jr., and their company in one of their labs (which means one of his subordinates created it and he took all the credit). Ironically, Tylenol was created as an aspirin-free alternative for children, becausenit was less harsh on the stomach. Now, it possibly causes brain damage in fetuses.

Or, it is the alien synthetic modifications done over the years to the recipe that is creating the problem, just like with food. Food is toxic, but people gorge it anyway because the government has brainwashed the population to believe longevity is strictly based on genetics. If thats the case, east fast food every day, three meals a day, smoke cigarettes, do zero exercise and suck down Tylenol pills and let’s see how well your genetics theory works.

In conclusion, people know more about Mars than they do Tylenol.
