Trump Says Tylenol Causes Autism, Medical Community Pushes Back. - FIVE MINUTE NEWS



At the White House today, Donald Trump falsely claimed that Tylenol (acetaminophen) use in pregnancy is linked to autism—without citing a shred of scientific evidence. He doubled down, urging women to avoid the medication entirely and reviving debunked myths about vaccines causing autism.

Medical experts and leading health organizations slammed the announcement as reckless, warning that untreated fever during pregnancy carries real dangers like miscarriage and birth defects. Critics warn that this misinformation campaign risks undermining decades of research, spreading fear among families, and fueling far-right agendas that demonize neurodiversity. - 09/22/2025.

He's putting the health of the nation at risk, especially children. Vaccines work, if you go to old cemeteries there are so many graves of babies and young children who died in childhood or infancy of diseases that we have vaccines for now.

There was autism before Tylenol was invented.

Has any reporter asked that question?

Just as there was cancer before red dyes, vaccines.

Etc.
