"So we have the spectacle of my successor in the Oval Office making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproved. And the degree to which that undermines public health, the degree to which that can do harm to women who are pregnant, the degree of which that creates anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic, which, by the way, itself is subject to a spectrum"
"and a lot of what is being trumpeted as these massive increases actually have to do with a broadening of the criteria across that spectrum so that people can actually get services and help. All of that is violence against the truth."
"Trump made the announcement on Monday after tasking Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. with uncovering the cause of autism and advised women to talk to their doctors about limiting the use of this medication while pregnant. Taking Tylenol is not good, he said."
Barack Obama accused Donald Trump of spreading disproven claims linking prenatal acetaminophen use to autism and called those claims "violence against the truth." Trump urged women to consult doctors about limiting Tylenol while pregnant after assigning Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to investigate autism causes. Obama warned that such claims undermine public health, harm pregnant women, and create anxiety for parents of autistic children. Obama noted autism diagnoses reflect a spectrum and that apparent increases often stem from broadened diagnostic criteria that improve access to services. Obama framed the issue within a larger ideological clash between progressives and populists.
