> Aspirin one of the safest drugs known to man, has a much longer history than Tylenol

I think cocaine and opium has a longer history too.

Aspirin (and ibuprofen) is counter-indicated for people with stomach problems like GERD. That's not fear mongering.

Of course not, but it's a big difference to say counter-indicated for one issue vs, leading off a post with "It is not safer".

The point of this story is whether Tylenol IS safer, and that's mostly contingent on the person (and studies showing its own inherent risks).

Paracetamol is safer. You've failed to provide any sources saying otherwise.

Yes, I did, if you look above, which references several studies. You on the other hand have cited none.
