""Don't take Tylenol," Trump instructed pregnant women around a dozen times during the unwieldy White House news conference, also urging mothers not to give their infants the drug, known by the generic name acetaminophen in the U.S. or paracetamol in most other countries."
"Medical experts said Trump's remarks were irresponsible. New York University bioethicist Art Caplan said it was "the saddest display of a lack of evidence, rumors, recycling old myths, lousy advice, outright lies, and dangerous advice I have ever witnessed by anyone in authority.""
"Trump announced during the event that the Food and Drug Administration would begin notifying doctors that the use of acetaminophen "can be associated" with an increased risk of autism, but did not immediately provide justification for the new recommendation."
President Donald Trump urged pregnant women and mothers not to use Tylenol (acetaminophen), repeatedly saying "Don't take Tylenol" and advising against giving it to infants. He suggested without medical evidence that vaccine ingredients or the timing of shots could contribute to rising autism rates. The announcement relied on existing studies rather than significant new research and aligned with the Make America Healthy Again movement that includes anti-vaccine activists connected to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Medical experts called the remarks irresponsible and unsupported. Trump said the FDA would notify doctors that acetaminophen "can be associated" with increased autism risk without providing justification.
