Trump admin linking paracetamol use in pregnancy to autism in kids

That promise raised alarms across the medical community, given Kennedy’s long history of promoting claims that vaccines trigger the condition - theories rejected years ago by mainstream science.

Speaking over the weekend at a memorial for conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Trump hinted he believes the search is over. “I think we found an answer to autism,” he told the audience. Later, during the flight back to Washington, he pushed the idea that children receive too many shots. “It’s like you’re shooting up a horse,” he told reporters.

Trump’s comments quickly turned toward acetaminophen, sold widely as Tylenol. A report from Forbes has confirmed the administration’s plans to link the common pain reliever to autism risk during pregnancy.
