President Trump's health secretary said Tylenol should be used with caution during pregnancy, but solid data linking it to autism is lacking.

Fascist bootlickers with no scientific or medical training and whose brain was eaten by worms now says that Tylenol doesn’t cause autism.

    My understanding is that America doesn’t actually have 5G telco equipment manufacturers — it’s a weak point in the US tech lineup — which is one reason that there was such a major kerfuffle several years back over it. The US does not want China in its sensitive telco infrastructure. There was some point I remember where some US senator said that if Europe wasn’t going to support Nokia or Ericsson — Europe does have some entrants – and just let Huawei take the 5G market, that the US would need to buy one of them. There was some real concern from the US that Europe might just accept ceding the 5G provider market, which would make the US dependent on China.

    This is probably what I remember. I could have sworn that it was a senator, but maybe there were multiple statements or it was actually AG Barr.

    White House dismisses idea of U.S. buying Nokia, Ericsson to challenge Huawei

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Mike Pence on Friday and the top White House economic adviser dismissed an unusual suggestion from U.S. Attorney General William Barr that the United States consider taking control of two major foreign rivals of China-based Huawei Technologies Co Ltd.

    White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow added later on Friday that the United States was working closely with Nokia and Ericsson, saying the companies’ equipment was essential to the buildout of 5G infrastructure. But he said the “U.S. government is not in the business of buying companies, whether they’re domestic or foreign,” adding that “there’s nothing to prohibit American tech companies from acquiring” them.

    “That’s the plan the president has endorsed and will be carrying forward,” Pence said, adding that the United States can expand 5G “by using the power of the free market and American companies.”

    In a remarkable statement underscoring how far the United States may be willing to go to counter Huawei, Barr on Thursday disclosed proposals “by the United States aligning itself with Nokia and/or Ericsson.”

    EDIT: IIRC, Cisco or some other US company that I can’t remember made some 5G hardware, but they weren’t on par with Nokia and Ericsson.
