Barack Obama slams Trump in brutally h
Trump’s Controversial Claim
On Monday, former President Donald Trump suggested a link between Tylenol use in
pregnancy and autism, adding that avoiding certain medications or vaccines could prevent the condition.
He also asked Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to confirm his remarks.
Health Authorities Respond
The World Health Organization countered, stating there is
“no conclusive scientific evidence” tying acetaminophen to autism.
Autism, affecting about 62 million people worldwide, is believed to stem from a mix of genetic and environmental factors.
Obama’s Rebuttal
During an event in London, former President Barack Obama called Trump’s claim
“violence against the truth,” warning it could spread fear among expectant mothers.
He noted rising autism diagnoses reflect better awareness and tools, not a surge in cases.
Medical Guidance
Johnson & Johnson defended Tylenol’s safety, citing decades of study. Experts stress that untreated pain or fever in pregnancy can be risky, urging patients to consult doctors before stopping medications.
