Former President Barack Obama has called out President Donald Trump over his false claims about Tylenol causing autism in children. Obama made these comments during a speaking event at London’s O2 Arena on Wednesday, where he talked with historian David Olusoga in front of 14,000 people.
Earlier this week, Trump said the Food and Drug Administration would tell doctors that Tylenol, also called acetaminophen, causes a “very increased risk of autism” when pregnant women take it. The president told people over and over again to avoid the medicine, saying “Don’t take Tylenol” and “Fight like hell not to take it” during a White House meeting.
