Premium Member Receiving Ads in YT Feed

I'm a Premium Member, and I periodically get fed Ads by YouTube in my Premium feed... Especially if I pause the feed for an extended period. This is only periodic, not consistent, but it is bothersome in something I pay to get Ad-free! Can this be fixed?? Thank you, Allan

Acetaminophen and link to autism/ADHD

Recently I've been hearing ads on the radio asking for people to join a class action lawsuit against all sellers of acetaminophen if they took it while pregnant and their child has autism. I dove into the research and found that some scientists have been examining this link since 2009. Reuters had a brief article about the lawsuit in October last year, but I haven't seen any other news article about it. https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/mass-tort-launched-claims-that-acetaminophen-caused-autism-adhd-2022-10-06/ Some of the research articles I found on this issue are: The role of oxidative stress, inflammation and acetaminophen exposure from birth to early childhood in the induction of autism: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5536672/ Endocannabinoid System Dysregulation from Acetaminophen Use May Lead to Autism Spectrum Disorder: Could Cannabinoid Treatment Be Efficacious?: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8037883/ Prenatal and postnatal exposure to acetaminophen in relation to autism spectrum and attention-deficit and hyperactivity symptoms in childhood: Meta-analysis in six European population-based cohorts: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8542535/ Association of Cord Plasma Biomarkers of In Utero Acetaminophen Exposure With Risk of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Autism Spectrum Disorder in Childhood: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6822099/ Similarities in features of autism and asthma and a possible link to acetaminophen use: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3261751/ What do you think about this issue and that it seems like most people haven't heard about this potentially disastrous side effect from a drug many see as safe?
