A large study in JAMA Pediatrics reported an 87% increased risk of autism among children born to women taking antidepressants. But 87% higher than what? About 1% of babies worldwide are born with autism. And while an 87% increase in relative risk sounds like a lot, it represents a tiny absolute increase in risk.

When tariffs were removed on television sets, the U. S. television industry was destroyed by cheap imports. Doesn’t it follow that removing tariffs on all commodities would destroy all U. S. industry? The argument is totally wrong. Some inefficient industries would be possibly forced into bankruptcy. However, other U. S. industries not only survive but also thrive when tariffs are removed mutually by the United States and its trading partners. Expanding production in efficient industries and getting rid of inefficient industries adds to economic efficiency.
