Trump’s Autism Remarks on Tylenol and Vaccines Spark Backlash from Medical Experts

                                                            U.S. President Donald Trump

In a striking White House news conference, President Donald Trump claimed that the use of Tylenol during pregnancy and common childhood vaccines could be linked to autism—assertions that leading medical organizations say are not supported by scientific evidence.

Trump repeatedly urged pregnant women not to take Tylenol, known generically as acetaminophen, and suggested that vaccines should be delayed or separated into individual doses. Standing alongside Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime vaccine critic, Trump called for a reexamination of the long-debunked theory that vaccines contribute to autism.

The medical community reacted swiftly. The American Academy of Pediatrics, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and numerous autism advocacy groups condemned the remarks, warning that they could fuel misinformation and put maternal and child health at risk. “The data cited do not support the claim that Tylenol causes autism,” the Coalition of Autism Scientists said in a statement.

Kenvue, the maker of Tylenol, also rejected the claims, stressing that acetaminophen remains a safe and important option for pregnant women when used as directed. Shares of the company initially fell after Trump’s comments but later rebounded as analysts noted the absence of new scientific evidence.

Public health experts fear that Trump’s remarks could undermine trust in vaccines and safe medications, echoing concerns from the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic when unproven medical advice from the White House drew widespread criticism.
