Also, these people will take paracetamol with no questions asked.

If I am the head of department of health, I would order a candid infomercial along the motif of "you wouldn't steal a car, you wouldn't pirate" but it goes "you don't question paracetamol. Why do you question vaccines?"

We actually don't know how it works. A new plausible theory came out but it is just speculation so far and doesn't account for everything.

"Even though we have been using paracetamol for the management of pain for more than 130 years, we still don't fully understand how the drug works," Wheate told Live Science. One widely held theory was that acetaminophen stopped the body from making. prostaglandins, which can trigger pain and inflammation, he said."If the results of this study are confirmed, then it significantly changes our understanding of the drug."

Keep in mind this study was done in rats and this article is from 6/19 of this year.

Use them too often enough and it will cause hearing loss. It happened to my dad. The doctor said it is one of the side effects. I know other people who pop paracetamol unnecessarily when they feel slight pain or headache.

Oh yeah, people say, oh it's just paracetamol. But its effects on the kidneys as well is not something to take lightly.
