California health officials say Trump's claims linking Tylenol and autism are false and harmful
"We are currently seeing the federal government provide a proliferation of simple answers to complex issues and false claims that can cause harm,"
"Americans deserve clear medical guidance that is the result of a rigorous scientific process,"
"We urge everyone to seek out credible medical guidance to inform their health care choices and to have conversations with their licensed health care providers."
California health officials warned that claims linking prenatal acetaminophen (Tylenol) use to autism lack scientific evidence and could cause public harm. The California Department of Public Health and state surgeon general Diana Ramos, an obstetrician gynecologist with three decades' experience, reaffirmed that major medical associations consider acetaminophen safe and beneficial during pregnancy. California formed a health alliance with neighboring Democratic states and issued recommendations aligned with medical associations as federal regulators and CDC advisors prepare to pare back vaccination guidance. Officials urged people to seek credible medical guidance and to consult licensed health care providers. Experts note research findings on acetaminophen and autism are mixed and autism causes are complex.
