Happened with the Spanish Flu. Most of the 50 million that died died because of liver/kidney failure from the acetaminophen (Tylenol) that was just invented and then over-prescribed to all the sick people, killing millions.

Would absolutely not surprise me to see history repeat itself in a similar manner.

Tylenol would not pass FDA standards if produced today.

When Tylenol metabolizes with alcohol then a toxic byproduct is produced. A toxin which cause liver damage and renal failure.
It should be banned.

There's a lot more to the 1919 event(s) than is ever publicly discussed. The actual facts/history have been whitewashed.

Microbiology didn't exist. "Scientific" medicine was in it's infancy. "Vaccinations" were prolific.

Interesting point. I wonder how many other drugs are the same way.

There's a website that compares prescription drug risk and side effects.
