"Trump repeatedly implored pregnant women to avoid taking the painkiller Tylenol, the bestselling form of acetaminophen. That's despite the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists long recommending acetaminophen as a safe option during pregnancy. He even weighed in on when children should be given painkillers. Speaking alongside Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., himself a vaccine skeptic, Trump stopped short of opposing all vaccines."
"'Don't let them pump your baby up with the largest pile of stuff you've ever seen in your life,' he said. Trump also wildly overstated how such shots - some of which protect against four diseases - are given. 'I think it's very bad. They're pumping, it looks like they're pumping into a horse,' Trump said. 'You have a little child. A little fragile child. And you've got a vat of 80 different vaccines, I guess, 80 different blends, and they pump it in.'"
Donald Trump offered unproven medical advice, urging pregnant women to avoid taking Tylenol (acetaminophen) and commenting on when children should receive painkillers. He appeared alongside Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a noted vaccine skeptic, and suggested delaying key immunizations or separating combination shots despite evidence showing no link between vaccines and autism. Trump warned against giving infants many vaccines at once, using vivid metaphors about 'pumping' large amounts into children and comparing it to injections in a horse. The statements echoed earlier inaccurate medical claims from his presidency, including suggestions about injecting disinfectants during the coronavirus pandemic.
