Trump mispronounces acetaminophen in unproven Tylenol-autism claim
Trump stumbles over acetaminophen as he makes unproven claim linking Tylenol to autism
President Donald Trump and RFK Jr. made an unproven claim suggesting a link between paracetamol (Tylenol) use during pregnancy and an increased risk of autism.
Speaking in the Oval Office, Trump struggled to pronounce “acetaminophen”, the active ingredient, as he advised pregnant women to only take the drug in extreme cases.
Trump described paracetamol as “not good” and “very dangerous to the woman’s health” for expectant mothers.
The manufacturer of Tylenol and medical experts have strongly disputed these claims, stating that paracetamol remains the safest drug for fever and pain during pregnancy.
