"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."
"The new guideline and the push to uncover autism's roots have been a goal of Health Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr (RFK)., who has spent decades pushing discredited claims that link vaccines to the condition. 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.""
President Donald Trump announced new health guidance linking acetaminophen use during pregnancy to an increased autism risk, without providing medical evidence. The Food and Drug Administration was said to notify doctors that acetaminophen "can be associated" with autism risk. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has pursued uncovering autism’s roots and has long pushed discredited vaccine-autism claims. Trump urged limiting Tylenol during pregnancy except for medically necessary situations such as very high fever. Trump also claimed poorer regions that rarely use the drug have lower autism rates. Kenvue, Tylenol’s parent company, strongly disagreed and cited scientific reviews showing no acetaminophen-autism causation.
