Republican Physician Rebukes Trump’s Autism Claims
President Trump made controversial claims about a link between Tylenol use during pregnancy and autism, prompting criticism from medical professionals, including Republican Senator Bill Cassidy. Despite Trump’s statements, the World Health Organization and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists do not support these claims, as Tylenol is a commonly recommended pain reliever for pregnant women. The Autism Science Foundation has expressed concerns, deeming Trump’s statements “dangerous,” while the maker of Tylenol has refuted the claims, citing scientific evidence. This follows Trump’s support for anti-vaccine advocate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., further fueling medical debate.
