And that's a claim that is not grounded in science. How worried are you, sir, that RFK Jr. and the president will actually, with what they've said, adversely impact the health of American women and their babies?"
"So, obviously pregnant thank you pregnant moms is something I have a very high level of interest in, and I do I agree, I think that science ought to guide these discussions, these conversations, and our decision making around our health. There are studies out there that they reference. But again, I think there are an awful lot of people in the medical community who come to a different conclusion about the use of Tylenol, Thune continued, adding:"
A presidential statement linked prenatal Tylenol use to a "very increased" autism risk and recommended limiting use during pregnancy. Medical experts and studies provide differing conclusions, and many in the medical community dispute the claim as not grounded in science. Calls emerged to ensure health decisions are driven by established scientific evidence and expert consultation. Officials urged caution against broad assertions without well-documented support. Questions arose about potential public-health impacts of the messaging and whether congressional confirmation of health officials creates responsibility or avenues for legislators to influence public discourse on medical guidance.
