NZOFP slams legacy media bias over paracetamol pregnancy risks

NZOFP paracetomol news

The NZOFP (NZ Outdoors and Freedom Party) is concerned about imbalance in media reporting to the New Zealand public about the risks from paracetamol to pregnant women and their unborn babies, as was announced by US Health agencies yesterday.

New Zealand normally follows the recommendation of the CDC. That advice was frequently relied on by NZ authorities during the Covid Pandemic.

“Now the CDC risk assessment has changed and no longer suits the NZ Health agencies, their spin doctors and other media, they have resorted to “shooting the messenger” with dismissive spin, rather than sharing the evidence and assumptions that the US Health agencies advice was based upon”, said NZOFP in a press release.

“The NZOFP has made a formal complaint to the Broadcasting Standards Authority and NZ Press Council and urges relevant media to share balanced information so New Zealanders can make an informed decision for themselves on their future use of Paracetamol.

“The relevant studies are here:

“Colleagues and I recently conducted a rigorous review, funded by a grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), of the potential risks of acetaminophen use during pregnancy… We found evidence of an association between exposure to acetaminophen during pregnancy and increased incidence of neurodevelopmental disorders in children.” – Dr Andea Baccarelli PhD MD Dean of Faculty, Professor of Environmental Health Harvard T.H Chan School of Public Health

  1. Mainstream media are just a propaganda machine. they hate you, your family, and your friends. Remember this during elections …

  2. Our media is ‘captured’ and totally biased.

    It seems unbelievable and totally stupid that we allow our local media to be bought out by foreign owned global interests. It is just mental to see the same thing with Australia, UK, etc etc. People are happy as long as they have their TikTok.

    When so many of our population are sheep they just accept what they are told and unfortunately we are throwing away the independent free speech that we once took for granted.
