The Trump administration asserted a possible link between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism, a claim strongly refuted by major medical organizations like ACOG and SMFM. These groups cite decades of research showing no such connection and highlight the risks of untreated pain and fever in pregnant women. Simultaneously, the administration suggested a link between vaccines and autism, and promoted leucovorin as a potential autism treatment, despite limited evidence supporting these claims. Leading medical groups condemned these assertions as dangerous and misleading, emphasizing the safety of vaccines and the need for rigorous scientific research.
