⚠️TYLENOL & AUTISM—RFK Jr and Trump are wrong—the largest & best study in the world in 2.5 MILLION KIDS—found no increased autism risk with acetaminophen (aka paracetamol, Tylenol) use by the mother during pregnancy. A crude unadjusted analysis found only a preliminary 5% risk, but once you adjust for family by matching using sibling controls (who didn’t get autism), the even tiny 5% risk vaporizes to 0% 📉. (Fun fact: I used to do drug safety epidemiology and have been whistleblower against big pharma when their drugs were dangerous—so I know a few things about drug safety data). Thread 🧵.

MCP is on fire. AI agents can now talk to real world tools, apps and actually get stuff done. This changes everything. Here are 10 amazing examples:

RFK Jr saying "none of the 72 vaccines given to children have been tested against placebo " The reality : - Children are not given 72 vaccines - The ones they are given have been tested against placebo This serial liar is your HHS Secretary.

Ooh!! In a presentation today, JPM’s Michael Cembalest said major portions of Healthcare industry look pretty attractive when comparing price vs expected ROE on public stocks over next 12 months. Markets might get dislocated, credit conditions might change, but healthcare chugs along.
