"Like a prophet of the pharmaceutical industry, Donald Trump took the microphone at the White House this Monday and sent a message to all pregnant women in his country: Don't take Tylenol, he said, referring to the main brand name used in the United States for acetaminophen, better known as paracetamol in some countries and marketed under various brands. He even asked them to tough it out and accept the fever and pain."
"I mean, there's a rumor, and I don't know if it's so or not, that Cuba, they don't have Tylenol because they don't have the money for Tylenol. And they have virtually no autism, OK. Tell me about that one, said Trump, flanked by his Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), Robert Kennedy Jr., the well-known anti-vaccine activist who had already announced that he would dedicate efforts to researching the condition"
Donald Trump urged pregnant women not to take Tylenol and suggested enduring fever and pain. He claimed a rumor that Cuba lacks Tylenol because of poverty and therefore has virtually no autism. Medical organizations immediately denied any proven link between acetaminophen use and autism. Trump spoke alongside Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an anti-vaccine activist who pledged to investigate autism causes. Cuban health data contradict the claim: MEDICC Review 2017 cited one in 2,500 diagnosed, and an official outlet reported 3,500 registered individuals with a stated prevalence of 0.4 per 10,000. Differences in diagnosis and reporting may affect comparisons.
