if trump said it it must be true

Every single thing Republicans do is about punishing women.

People will do anything to terrorise and torture pregnant people. Sure, don't give them painkillers, just make women suffer, will you? Fucking assholes. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-03138-w
Hating women will do that to you. Most people don't take the time to look into the science and believe whatever their political leaders say, which I can't even fully blame them for, education takes work and falling for a scam can happen to anyone. I blame the public speakers and "educators" who are spreading these lies unchecked. People should be getting arrested or at the very least kicked off of public platforms if they're found to wilfully spread harmful medical information, just like how it shouldn't be legal to have a doctor try to sell you mlm snake oil right before an operation to scam you out of even more money. Scamming is getting bad enough that the more effective ones are about selling peple fake ways to scam others, no honesty involved in the first place.

I don't know why anyone is trusting disgusting rapist moids with anything unless they're also raging misogynist moids, vindictive pickmes or actually mentally challenged. I only feel bad for that last group honestly, I know some conservatives of that brand, some people are legitimately more vulnerable to brainwashing.
At least only half of the republicans seem to believe in this particular bullshit.

Accurate.

if you risk losing your baby due to fucking medication then yeah, I think pregnant women should want to know.
I had terrible nose congestion during pregnancy, it was constant and miserable. I caved in one time and took a decongestant and I was filled with anxiety and guilt because of all the warnings about how unsafe they are during pregnancy. Plenty of women are anxious because they care for their babies and they need to know what could cause problems or not, don't assume all women have this same noncaring mindset.

Meds are bad in any case.
You get addicted and slowly you need to get a higher dose to feel the same you felt before.

>meds are all bad
>tylenol makes you addicted

great mindset to have

Maybe you should talk to a real doctor instead of buying whatever your alternative scammer told you. (I don't think alternative medicine is all bad, it can be therapeutic in a psychological way and legitimately helps some people, but it really depends on the problem.)
But physically, yes, you do need actual meds if you're seriously sick.
There can be scams in traditional medicine too, like overprescribing painkillers or insisting on very unnecessary surgeries instead of physical therapy because it's more profitable for them. Antimicrobial resistance is real, so you're right to be careful with medication as a baseline.
…But you still need them, like antibiotics if you have a bad infection (sepsis is also real), stuff like tylenol if you have a dangerous fever that could impact your baby (see the article in >>313220 ) and so on.
I've taken meds normally all my life and rn I'm healthy and don't take any (because I'm healthy), it's not really addictive unless you're dealing with some chronic problem and take actually addictive meds on the regular or something.

>>313228
>you need to get a higher dose to feel the same you felt before
This really only applies to chronic problems. Depending on how bad your chronic problem is, I do think it can be worse for some people to have to deal with constant pain rather than addiction. I honestly think Kurt Cobain would've killed himself sooner if he hadn't become a heroin addict. (He was suffering from chronic stomach pains that had made him suicidal before. Idk if he could've gotten better treatment for it with today's medicine, I'm not a doctor)

>antibiotics
For a short time, have you seen the various side effects of antibiotics? even topical antibiotics can bring side effect on the skin. For example doctors recommend antibiotics for acne and several people skin actually worsened after using it for months.
You should do your own research and not automatically trust whatever they tell you, or at least get multiple opinions.

>>313244
I have a skin disease and am very prone to infections in general.
I've taken lots of antibiotics over the years, I took some this year for a really bad bladder infection.
Never had any side effects from any antibiotics, ever. But I do read the leaflet that comes with all meds I take and they're very open about all of the possible side effects.
>do your own research
It says the side effects right in the package, just read it. You can also google whatever is in what you're taking, but for most people, just reading the leaflet is enough. Unless you live in some odd country where they somehow don't require proper information in the leaflet, idk what that'd be like outside of my country (I'm German).
>several people skin actually worsened after using it for months
I haven't heard of using antibiotics for acne, how bad does it have to be for you to resort to that? My skin inflammation creams all have warning labels because if I take too much of it, my skin will get even thinner and worse, but it helps in the short run. I try not to overdo it though, it's not like my skin infections are dangerous in the way bladder or tooth infections are. It's not exactly life-saving medication.
>not automatically trust whatever they tell you
Yeah, don't trust doctors automatically when they're overprescribing stuff. You can usually trust packages though, unlike doctor's words, those are usually well-regulated. Unless you live in some weird country where there aren't many restrictions on meds.
>side effects
You know, the actually serious side effects from antibiotics are the ones that you can get if you're allergic to whatever they used in the antibiotics. I've never had that kind of misfortune, but it can happen to some people. That doesn't mean you shouldn't take antibiotics though, especially if it's for something serious.

>>313247
>That doesn't mean you shouldn't take antibiotics though
I mean that you can take different antibiotics or something, obviously don't take anything you're allergic to

do Americans actually care about their country anymore or is just all about owning the other side now
