"He told pregnant women that they could help keep their children safe from autism by not taking the drug whenever they could avoid it ("fight like hell," he instructed). He advised parents not to give Tylenol to their young children. He denounced giving the hepatitis B vaccine to infants and suggested that parents space out their children's immunization schedule. ("They pump so much stuff into those beautiful little babies, it's a disgrace," he said.)"
""I don't want to wait any longer. We don't need anything more. And if it's wrong-it's not going to be wrong, but-if it is wrong, it's fine. We have to do it," Trump told the audience at a dinner for the American Cornerstone Institute on Saturday. Today, instead of opting for measured guidance, or urging additional research, Trump borrowed a strategy from his health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: pushing ahead with a sensational conclusion based on a handful of disputed studies."
President Donald Trump advised pregnant women to avoid acetaminophen and instructed parents not to give Tylenol to young children, linking acetaminophen use to autism risk. He denounced immediate hepatitis B vaccination for infants and suggested spacing out childhood immunizations. He recommended administering measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines separately, even though individual component shots are not available in the United States. He expressed that his guidance reflected personal feeling and urged action without awaiting further research. The approach mirrored a strategy favoring sensational conclusions drawn from a small number of disputed studies. Researchers generally attribute autism risk primarily to genetics and multiple environmental factors.
