Twenty years ago, people ate them like candy, but with what we know now, I wouldn't take Tylenol unless maybe I had a very high fever. For more frequent types of pain, Advil or Aleve are much safer OTC choices, and yet Tylenol is still OTC because Americans can be trusted with a little risk management. We're not babies. IMO HCQ should be OTC here in the US just like it is in most countries around the world.
Probably 80-90% of drugs in the US that are Rx only should be OTC. The ONLY drug that is OTC that should be Rx is Tylenol. When teens (girls) are having their cries for attention, they'll take beneydryl and a pain reliever. If it's Aspirin, naproxen, or ibuprofen, it's not GREAT! for them, but a stomach pump/some powerful laxatives, a psych consult, and a follow-up and they're fine. Tylenol? THEY. ARE. FUCKED! Not always, but enough that if all the PSA's we pump into schools and over the radio/YouTube, a "DON'T TRY TO KILL YOURSELF WITH TYLENOL, IT FUCKING HURTS!" or maybe even the truth would probably save more lives yearly than just about every other PSA aired out together.
The shit part is it's hard to get accurate stats, I have it on low authority that more than one COD was fudged at the threat of lawsuit.
Colloidal silver came out just before antibiotics and the medical field loved it. They still use it in some cases where antibiotics won't work. Now they pooh pooh it just so they can virtue signal. If we had taken the exact opposite approach, use silver wherever it works and reserve antibiotics for when silver doesn't work, we'd be WAY ahead of the game now.
I respectfully disagree. While i listed a sadly common example, there are many, many more long term issues that result from Nyquil and Tylenol being used together, despite Nyquil already containing tylenol. Also, i donrrecall suggesting it be banned, nor do i recall an amendment to the constitution of the United States enshrining the right to unfettered access to tylenol.
Tylenol has more deaths
Tylenol deaths and permanent injuries are more common than you might expect: http://archive.is/wip/6FoPV
tldr: never mix Tylenol (acetaminophen) with alcohol, never exceed its limits for dosage or maximum consecutive days.

Quinine used to be OTC until the year after a study was published showing how effective it is for RNA viruses of all types.
Things that make you go hmmmm...
Yep. Doctors knew about quinine's effectiveness in this regard 100 years ago: https://i.imgur.com/jUfX8bV.png
Hmmmm....
Tylenol is very safe if you take it within prescribed limits
Tylenol can absolutely destroy your liver if you don't use it correctly
If you take too much Tylenol, use NAC.

tylenol is way safer than NSAIDs, even with the liver toxicity
I agree.
Tylenol doesn't do anything for me. Aleve or aspirin. I hardly ever take it though.

oops.

Antibiotics should always be Rx. Part of the reason these diseases are getting so powerful is because of the overuse of antibiotics.

Exceeding total dosage during a 24 hour period is also where people get into trouble.
So it isn't "Tylenol deaths and permanent injuries", it's people ignoring recommended doses.
Yet we still see dumb statements like "Tylenol has more deaths".
