Trump Criticized for Unsubstantiated Tylenol-Autism Link

Trump Criticized for Unsubstantiated Tylenol-Autism Link

Former President Trump stated that taking Tylenol during pregnancy might lead to autism and suggested avoiding the pain reliever.

Medical experts criticized this, saying there's no scientific proof.

Trump also spoke against the current vaccination schedule for babies, while an advisory committee is questioning the need of the hepatitis B vaccine.

The FDA will add a warning to Tylenol and recommended minimizing prenatal use.

Some worry Trump's statements could scare people and hurt public health, while others suggest rising autism rates deserve further research.

The White House is being accused of spreading "junk science."
