"Trump and his health officials also changed recommendations for common painkiller Tylenol (which has the same active ingredient, acetaminophen, as paracetamol) during pregnancy and early childhood. They cited a handful of studies showing an association but not a causative relationship between the drug and neurodevelopment changes, including autism and ADHD, in children. Scientific consensus currently shows that an interplay of wide-ranging genetic and environmental factors probably lead to these developmental changes, rather than a single cause such as painkiller use in pregnancy."
"In September, the US Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) updated its recommendations for the combined measles-mumps-rubella-varicella (MMRV) vaccine in children and COVID-19 vaccines for all US residents. It also indefinitely deferred a decision changing recommendations for the hepatitis B vaccine in newborns, though US President Donald Trump said in an announcement from the White House on Monday it should be administered to kids not before they are 12 years of age."
In September the US Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices updated recommendations for the combined measles-mumps-rubella-varicella (MMRV) vaccine and for COVID-19 vaccines for all US residents. The MMRV is now recommended to be administered as separate MMR and varicella shots for children under four because the combined vaccine slightly raises the risk of fever-related seizures; figures showed 85% of US children already receive the shots separately. The committee deferred a decision on changing newborn hepatitis B recommendations, while the US President said hepatitis B should be given no earlier than age 12. Officials also modified guidance on acetaminophen use during pregnancy and early childhood, citing associative studies linking the drug to neurodevelopmental changes, while scientific consensus attributes such conditions to complex genetic and environmental factors.
