Dr. Mehmet Oz is backpedaling on Donald Trump’s explosive declaration that pregnant women should never use Tylenol. The president brazenly claimed Monday that acetaminophen—the active ingredient in Tylenol—was responsible for an increase in autism among young children, and instructed pregnant women to “tough it out” and avoid the painkilling drug altogether.
But Oz, who stood behind the president while he made such stunning claims, offered a more cautious stance when asked directly.
In a Tuesday interview with TMZ, the Trump-appointed administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said pregnant women with high fevers should take Tylenol to lower their body temperature. “If you have a high fever….the doctor’s almost certainly going to prescribe you something, Tylenol might be one of the things they give,” the celebrity doctor assured TMZ Live hosts Harvey Levin and Charles Latibeaudiere, adding: “That’s not the problem.”
He told the hosts that it “might be true” taking acetaminophen for low-grade fevers during pregnancy is safe. “We don’t know,” he said. “Take it when it’s appropriate,” he said. “Acetaminophen’s probably your best option, but take it when you really need it.”

RFK Jr.s credentials are worms ate through his brain, swimming in raw sewage, and playing with animal carcasses. So he did his own research MAGA-style.
MAGA moms can suffer if they want I guess. Liberal moms will likely ignore these idiots and take the meds. Literally one of the mildest safest meds there is with the fewest side effects. 
that Trump already included in his statement (by stating that it's his "opinion" and saying "do what you need to do."
. So, again we have a headline that overstates what is in the article, That said, I guess it shows that "Dr." Oz hasn't totally abandoned everything he ever learned in medical school (though he has clearly abandoned a lot of to it).
Regarding the comment concerning including women in drug studies, it is only going to get worse now. The Trump Administration has already come out against disaggregated data, calling it "woke." If you don't have to report on how drugs impact women, you don't need to include them in trials at all. Our government dollars at work for us!
Anyone who wants to learn more about Oz (and about how Oprah is horrible for promoting him, by the way), here is an interesting podcast:
... when he learns that that his fancy medical degree won't protect him from Chump's wrath.
