"BASH: Speaking of health care, I do want to ask about President Trump, along with HHS Secretary RFK Jar, saying this week that pregnant women should limit using Tylenol during pregnancy because of a quote, very increased risk of autism. And that's a claim that is not grounded in science. How worried are you, sir, that RFK Jar and the president will actually with what they've said adversely impact the health of American women and their babies?"
"THUNE: I'm obviously very concerned about that. I am a father and a grandfather and just have, as of about seven months ago, a newborn grandson. BASH: Congratulations. THUNE: So, obviously pregnant thank you pregnant moms is something I have a very high level of interest in, and I do I agree, I think that science ought to guide these discussions, these conversations, and our decision making around our health."
Senate Majority Leader John Thune expressed concern about claims by President Donald Trump and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. linking prenatal Tylenol use to increased autism risk. Trump and Kennedy held a press conference making unfounded assertions, blaming women for taking Tylenol during pregnancy, misrepresenting the vaccine schedule, and incorrectly claiming that Amish people and people in Cuba have no autism. Acetaminophen has been recommended for decades as one of the few painkillers considered safe during pregnancy to treat pain and fever. Existing research does not demonstrate that prenatal acetaminophen causes autism. Thune emphasized that science should guide health decisions.
