"US President Donald Trump on Monday announced new health guidelines on vaccines and made the unproven claim that use of acetaminophen, known in the US as Tylenol, during pregnancy was linked to autism. Trump said the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) would notify doctors that the use of acetaminophen "can be associated" with an increased risk of autism, without providing any medical evidence for the new recommendation."
"It all comes as RFK and Trump has vowed to upend the country's health agencies with the slogan "Make America Healthy Again." The US president said "taking Tylenol is not good." Tylenol's parent company Kenvue said in a statement that it "strongly disagrees" with Trump's comments, adding that "sound science clearly shows that taking acetaminophen does not cause autism." The company highlighted scientific reviews by multiple government regulators worldwide, including those previously published by the FDA."
US President Donald Trump announced new health guidelines saying acetaminophen (Tylenol) use during pregnancy can be associated with increased autism risk and stated the FDA would notify doctors. No medical evidence was provided for the new recommendation. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has pursued policies aimed at uncovering autism's roots and has spent decades promoting discredited claims linking vaccines to autism. The administration recommended limiting Tylenol use in pregnancy unless medically necessary and Trump claimed some poor regions lacking acetaminophen have no autism. Kenvue, Tylenol's parent company, strongly disagreed, citing scientific reviews and regulatory findings showing no causal link.
