Are fucking insane? How on earth do they expect to actually win this lawsuit?

I'm all for it. Let's have discovery, let's shine a light on this stupidity.

It is hard to believe this is not an onion article. "We just made this up and now we are suing you for not warning people about the shit we just made up".

I’m not a lawyer but shouldn’t J&J be suing the Federal Government for making utterly unsubstantiated claims in an official announcement?

I hope somebody documents every penny Texas wastes on this frivolous crap.

This is what happens when you put conspiracy theorists into office: You get them suing or attacking organisations for things that aren't real.

I hope they bankrupt the fucking state of Texas. Someone should sue him for wasting taxpayer money. Toss-up on whether I feel bad enough for progressive &/or sensible Texans to care how those two thoughts play-out.

Hillbilly Tyrannical Fascist Government

VS

Monopolistic Corrupt Big Pharma Corporation

Who would win?

Stay tuned!

OK! Good! FINALLY! Now that they're pulling this shit, big companies have reason to fight back. I was wondering when Proctor and Gamble and Johnson and Johnson would start campaigning to get these psychos out of office, and this should do it.

This timeline is so fucked that J & J somehow managed to be the good guy for once..

It’s all fun and games until you realize discovery is a part of a lawsuit

Did their lawyers even pass the bar?

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.

I hear that MAGA hats have chemicals that leach into your brain and make you a complete idiot.

Johnson & Johnson should just say "Our bad. We'll stop selling all our products in your state!"

Then sit back & watch the fallout

Is there any science proving this? Could I sue "Buckley's Cough Syrup" because of my gut feeling that they caused my toenail fungus?

Tylenol is basically paracetamol, right? It's a generic drug. Why are they suing a specific brand?

God I hope texas eats a big old pharma dick on this one. I feel like they're just anti women at this point.

So glad I left that shithole state. Tired of Ken "Securities Fraud" Paxton wasting my tax dollars on frivolous bullshit like this.

this is funny as fuck. what's next, allergy medicine causing ADHD?

This is upsetting to me.

I’m barely grasping my spot on the AuADHD space, and now it’s been politicized into a single dimensional disease Republicans are using to virtue signal, like the whole vaccine “debate.”

And I’m in freaking Texas. It’s not as Republican as y’all think, especially in the big metros, but somehow we got Paxton in.

And apparently you guys forgot about previous frivolous lawsuits. Huge media conglomerates, and other institutions, settled with the Trump DoJ because they saw them for what they are: a shake down. “Pay us, or you will find political trouble.”

That’s what’s happening.

The merits do not matter. There is no “fight” here.

J&J is going to settle with Texas and maybe others so MAGA doesn’t persecute them outside the lawsuit.

If there is a civil war, I suspect that Tylenol would be on the side of the Allies & Union. Texans and MAGA will have to use homeopathic remedies to (not) ease their pain.

Wait the state is suing the company? Shouldn't it be the other way around? The company suing the CDC and RFK Jr. personally due to the clearly slanderous statements?

Worst of all is that this probably will end in a settlement where the US government gets to claim they were right in exchange for just a "small" donation to the US government

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:

1. lobby stupid politicians to sue you for stupid reasons
2. countersue.
3. ...
4. Profit.

Many have tried, and many have failed to sue them due to a lack of evidence.

There has been no new evidence btw.
