Donald Trump may have warned pregnant women shouldn’t use Tylenol, claiming it has been linked with autism — but the epidemiologist his administration cited insists it’s still safe to take.
The president, along with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., claimed Monday that the use of acetaminophen (also known as Tylenol) when pregnant has been linked to children developing autism spectrum disorder. Trump warned that the painkiller and fever reducer shouldn’t be taken “during the entire pregnancy.”
