In September, President Trump, alongside Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., advised against taking Tylenol during pregnancy due to an alleged link to autism, a claim lacking substantial scientific evidence. A recent thorough review published in The Lancet found no connection between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability, emphasizing its safety. The research aimed to alleviate concerns following Trump’s statements, as untreated fever poses risks to mothers and babies. Health officials, however, have raised doubts about the review’s conclusions, citing concerns from experts regarding acetaminophen’s safety during pregnancy.
