WHO: No Consistent Evidence Linking Paracetamol Use in Pregnancy to Autism

President Donald Trump, in front of US Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr., delivers remarks linking autism to childhood vaccines.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has clarified that current scientific evidence does not consistently support claims of a link between paracetamol (acetaminophen) use during pregnancy and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Speaking at a press briefing in Geneva, WHO spokesperson Tarik Jašarević stated that while some studies have explored a possible association, findings remain inconclusive and inconsistent. He emphasized that such claims should not undermine public confidence in established medical guidance.

Medical experts note that paracetamol remains one of the safest options for managing fever and pain during pregnancy when used under medical supervision. Untreated fever, particularly in early pregnancy, can itself pose risks such as miscarriage or preterm birth.

WHO also strongly reaffirmed that vaccines do not cause autism, countering misinformation that has resurfaced in recent debates. Large-scale studies have repeatedly shown no causal link between vaccines and autism, with genetics and other developmental factors playing the primary role in ASD.

Health authorities worldwide continue to recommend that pregnant women use paracetamol only when necessary, at the lowest effective dose, and under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
