Johnson and Johnson is a huge, multinational pharma company with more money than God. They aren't going to be intimidated or extorted by this dumbass governor.
This case will get tossed in the discovery phase when the judge asks for scientific evidence and all the governor can provide are these whoo-whoo dipsh*t theories.
There's no controversy in the health community!!! There's no link between acetaminophen and autism, period!
Can’t help but notice you used exclamation marks instead of periods. Sincerely, the pedantic community.
I read this as "Tylenol sues Texas for libal"
Took me a few re-reads to understand the idiots spreading the libel are the ones suing. They're gonna get counter-sued real fast.
Unfortunate that the tax payers will shoulder the burden.
Edit: this is a strange way for a company to get a government subsidiary:
Well, some lawyers are about to make a shit load of money as this drags out for a decade.
Hillbilly Tyrannical Fascist Government
VS
Monopolistic Corrupt Big Pharma Corporation
Who would win?
Stay tuned!
Pharma. Regardless of who's involved, being able to sue somebody based on made up bullshit is not a good precedent
Yes, but when was the last time these guys cared about "precedent"? I agree in thinking Pharma wins, but only because money. One CEO visit to the Whitehouse and some brown nosing and Trump will start saying how they're "good people".
We have always been at war with Eastasia.
Generally the courts side with industry and money, but this time they're being asked to choose between that and MAGA, the latter of which has been dominating in courts lately. I am not sure on this one. Kenvue isn't that big, it's not part of a behemoth like J&J anymore, I'm not sure that one company has the gravitas to avoid being run over.
Texas failing once again at using facts and science. They love to shoot themselves in the foot and blame others for making the gun that shot them.
Is there any science proving this? Could I sue "Buckley's Cough Syrup" because of my gut feeling that they caused my toenail fungus?
No, because in a court of law, your feelings aren't the thing that matters. :)
that doesn't jive with Donna Strumpet being the president of the US
Short answer no. Also correlation is not causation Let's say child autism is correlated with infection at a certain age then it could be the infection and not the thing you took for the infection.
They are dumb fucks who cannot read studies. Remember COVID?
a buddy of mine got a flu shot and then while walking out of the pharmacy he was hit by a car. Coincidence? No way.
Grifters have to make up the losses from Trump somehow.
