Because certain ultraviolet light can kill viruses & bacteria. Naturally that doesn’t mean living beings should get internal or “under the skin” doses “somehow”.
Dodo’s discussion of this as a real possibility led to announcements like this from scientists, medical professionals and those in the industry.
“UV light under the conditions known to kill such viruses are also known to cause severe skin burns, skin cancer, and eye damage. We strongly recommend that anyone using UV light to disinfect medical equipment, surfaces, or air in the context of COVID-19, applications that are supported by sound scientific evidence, follow all recommended health and safety precautions and to avoid direct exposure of the body to the UV light.”
Some do not know the difference between correlation and causation in science.
This can cause a problem for those trying to do their own research who do not have enough of a basis in research and science methods and why we need experts in these federal positions to protect our health.
These under-informed folks make assumptions based on correlation and ignore that no causal effect was found.
For example, a pregnant woman may take more Tylenol or other medications for an underlying condition or fever.
If some underlying condition, fever, or predisposition is what is actually linked (in some manner) to ADHD or Autism, it may appear at first glance that an increase in consumption of a pain reliever to treat it, is a factor, because slightly more women with these underlying issues, than the average population might be taking it to alleviate pain symptoms that may be connected to the real cause.
In the case of ADHD, fever during pregnancy has been shown to have some possible link, but not Tylenol.
This secondhand non-causal link regarding taking Tylenol is what is known as correlational. Tylenol's use is simply correlated with fever or pain.
Tylenol has been studied extensively and no causal link was found to autism or ADHD.
Another example, is that perhaps people who eat more junk food may have a higher incidence of certain diseases. But is the junk food the cause, or is it that those who are obese simply happen to eat more junk food on average, than the average population, and obesity itself causes things like high blood pressure and other diseases?
Without further study, one might think what might be correlational factor, like a certain junk food, is the cause.
The same might be true of food dyes where they are more often used in products containing excess sugar and other chemicals. So, is it the dye or the sugar or something else that could be a causal element in ADHD, or something else.
There seems to perhaps be enough of a link from dyes to cause other countries to ban some food dyes, but is this due to a strong cause found, or is it that they really are not needed in foods anyway, so why not ban it out of caution if even a small concern is found? If there is some link in studies and it is not needed, why not ban it?
I am all for taking a closer look at things other nations have decided to ban and the reasons why, as this makes sense.
Based on this, one thing that one might need further study is perhaps palm oil and/or how it is processed, but it has been over 15 yrs since I read up on it, so I may be out of date, for sure.
I would love it if our nation pulled food samples off of shelves with high frequency and tested them for safety. Why should a child end up with high levels of lead in their blood for us to find out that the cinnamon added to a certain baby food had lead in it? Remember that case? Manufacturers would take even more care if they knew products were being tested in a frequent manner and that to be negligent would be playing Russian roulette with their financial bottom line. I still do not feel confident when eating products with cinnamon after that.
A final thought. There is an increase in cancers like colon cancer among younger adults. The place to start is to see what changed for this generation born in the 1980s and 1990s - etc. One change was the replacement of saccharin with aspartame, but later studies found saccharin was not really an issue, but given concerns from WHO, maybe a second look at aspartame in young folks might simply be a good idea. This is just meant as an example for timing. I personally drink a lot of diet soda and have zero health issues, which is pretty good for someone over 65, but I did not drink it as a kid and you never know. The idea is to look at that generation for what changed. I remember plastic water bottles and designer water was suddenly huge during that "go to the gym" era as well. I'm not saying it is a cause at all, but one should simply look to what changed.
The administration’s rubes were not elevated for skill, integrity, or experience. They give me a headache. They were chosen because they would respond as told, sneer when ordered, and parrot whatever falsehood the moment required. Credentials meant nothing; loyalty was everything. In place of statesmen, we got lackeys. Instead of leaders, we got frauds. Sycophantic liars, hand-picked to serve a demented felon. Dallas was not a leftist. Leftists don’t shoot immigrants.
Also true that someone without disorganized thinking who is not unhinged (neither are political or ideological motivations) doesn’t shoot into a van of immigrants because they are ‘anti-ice.’ The whole thing doesn’t makes sense.
Many if not most of the administration’s handpicked are shysters and grifters well versed in self-dealing. RFK, Jr is a prime example. Changing the recommendations and “reports” from HHS on his favorite topics could greatly improve the chances of personal injury cases against vaccines & medications in the future.
Thank you both Mark and Steven for your immediate, timely response on Trump’s and Bob KennedyJr’s terrible misinformation on Tylenol.
I struggle deeply to understand the vile motives behind their needs to cause harm and chaos. Yes, insanity could be a reason?
Thanks for continuing to expose reprehensible actions and for your hard hitting dialogue even throughout the threats of and attempted risks for trustworthy journalism.
Thank you too for the Transcript option available in the video.
Be safe. We need you.
(I read where Canada is granting Americans asylum if needed.)
RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz appeal to people's need to feel in control, especially when an illness or disability hits, but also to feel in control against preventing future health issues. It takes patience for healthcare providers to deal with this psychological response even in a positive health environment, and now we do not even have that.
Exploiting that has also made them million$. IF you can change the “science” by changing official government findings by “experts” you get fodder to make more million$.
Is this really about health? Or is it another con?
It would not shock me one bit if this was the framework for a future shakedown of companies like Johnson & Johnson which makes Tylenol. Donnie learned a long time ago he could easily manipulate stock prices. Now he’s doing the same with regulations. Johnson & Johnson had supposedly promised big manufacturing investments in the US earlier this year.
RFK, Jr made his money in a law firm through cases from cases alleging harm. In other words, personal injury cases. His non-profit filed many also. The biggest obstacle in vaccine and medication cases is credible or scientific evidence. I strongly suspect he anticipates pending cases and new ones after he leaves government will benefit his bank account greatly due to changing information coming from HHS. A first rate grifter without a conscience.
Seriously, I think that these clowns think of the US Treasury as theirs and that the more Americans who die from starvation, illnesses, Fever, etc. the more wealth they will have in their “Golden Age.”
This is the same Trump that suggested during the pandemic that perhaps we should shine bright lights up our butts and imbibe bleach to fight COVID.
Under his watch, the US had by far the worst infection and death rates of the developed world.
Difficult to understand why anyone would even consider medical advice from Trump or Kennedy.
Shine bright lights up our butts? To diagnose/treat what condition? I missed that one!
One of his wackjob Covid rants in 2020.
TY

The makers of Tylenol should personnally sue Kennedy and DJT for damages when they see a drop in Tylenol sales.

the answer to this is in Genesis: in pain you shall bring forth children" Nothing more. Next thing will be epidurals?
Any word about whether Tylenol is suing for business defamation?
