Trump claims with little evidence that use of Tylenol, or acetaminophen, in pregnancy is linked to autism – US politics live
President and RKF Jr hold news conference about contentious new drug guidance
Per my last post, it’s important to underscore that autism has been a focus for Kennedy. Earlier this month, the Wall Street Journal reported that Kennedy planned to announce that use of Tylenol by pregnant women was potentially linked to autism spectrum disorder. Kennedy has claimed that the US is in the grip of an “autism epidemic” fuelled by “environmental toxins”.
A reminder that the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) says there’s “no clear evidence” linking “prudent” use of acetaminophen to issues with fetal development.
