Republican senator publicly questions Trump announcement linking autism to acetaminophen use during pregnancy
Senator Bill Cassidy, chairman of the Senate health committee, urges the Department of Health and Human Services to release data supporting President Trump's claim linking acetaminophen use during pregnancy to autism. Cassidy, citing a lack of conclusive evidence, expresses concern that this claim could limit women's pain management options. Trump announced the FDA will advise doctors to limit Tylenol use during pregnancy unless medically necessary. Experts dispute the claim, highlighting the unsettled science and multiple autism causes. Cassidy's actions are seen as navigating a political tightrope, balancing his past criticism of Trump with his need to avoid presidential opposition in his upcoming reelection.
