How Trump blew up his administration’s carefully laid autism announcement plans
President Trump unexpectedly dominated a press conference on autism, overshadowing a planned announcement by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) regarding a possible link between acetaminophen (Tylenol) use during pregnancy and autism. Trump promoted unproven theories, urging pregnant women to avoid Tylenol and expressing vaccine skepticism, alarming health experts. HHS officials attempted to downplay the president's assertions, emphasizing their planned further research and measured approach, while acknowledging the conflicting evidence regarding acetaminophen and autism. The event has raised concerns about the potential for misinforming parents and complicating healthcare decisions.
