Trump's Tylenol-Autism Claim: Science Debunks Paracetamol Panic?
US President Donald Trump warned pregnant women to "limit" or avoid Tylenol, known beyond the US and in India as paracetamol, suggested links between the drug and autism, and repeated long-debunked insinuations about vaccines and neurodevelopment. The administration paired the announcement with plans to update FDA labelling and to promote leucovorin (a folate derivative) as a therapeutic avenue. Reports suggest that the remarks were immediately described as medical advice from the podium, and drew sharp rebuttals from clinicians, professional societies and scientists.
