President Donald Trump dropped a major alert on Truth Social, warning pregnant women and parents to avoid the everyday pain reliever Tylenol due to supposed autism links.
Last month, Trump and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. first raised alarms about acetaminophen in Tylenol potentially increasing autism rates, despite zero evidence from health bodies like the WHO.
“Pregnant Women, DON’T USE TYLENOL UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, DON’T GIVE TYLENOL TO YOUR YOUNG CHILD FOR VIRTUALLY ANY REASON,” Trump wrote.
Health experts, including ACOG President Steven J. Fleischman, slammed the claims as ‘highly concerning’ and ‘irresponsible,’ warning of confusion for expectant moms.
Trump didn’t stop at Tylenol—he pushed for breaking up the MMR vaccine into separate shots and spacing out others, echoing debunked 1998 theories from Andrew Wakefield’s retracted study.
With parents left reeling, is this bold advice or dangerous misinformation? What do you think—protecting kids or stirring panic?
