"Donald Trump is a man with no medical training. However, that's never stopped the very stable genius from inflicting his unhinged health views on the rest of us, has it? Back in 2020, for example, Trump memorably mused that injecting disinfectant could help fight the coronavirus which forced the maker of Dettol and Lysol to put out an urgent statement explaining that this was a very bad idea."
"If you're feeling poorly while pregnant you should fight like hell not to take Tylenol to relieve your pain, the president instructed. Which basically means suffering instead: ibuprofen, for instance, is generally not recommended after week 20 of pregnancy. If you can't tough it out, if you can't do it, that's what you'd have to do, Trump continued. You'll take a Tylenol, but it'll be very sparingly."
"Now the president, who once vowed to be a protector of women whether they like it or not, has turned his attention to prenatal care. But the bottom line here is that the Trump administration is advancing wildly irresponsible guidance. There is no evidence for a causative link between acetaminophen and autism and many experts were aghast at Trump's statements. Indeed, even the moral vacuum that is JD Vance balked at repeating Trump's advice, instead urging women to lean on their doctors."
Donald Trump urged pregnant women to avoid acetaminophen (Tylenol), claiming prenatal exposure could be linked to autism and advising women to "fight like hell" not to take it. He suggested only very sparing use and acknowledged ibuprofen is generally not recommended after week 20, implying some women might have to endure pain. Robert F Kennedy Jr. stood nearby during the remarks. Medical experts called the guidance irresponsible and noted there is no evidence of a causal link between acetaminophen and autism. Conservative figures including JD Vance urged women to consult doctors instead of following the advice.
