Trump Urges Pregnant Women to Avoid Tylenol Amid Autism Safety Probe

President Trump has issued a strong advisory urging pregnant women to avoid using Tylenol (acetaminophen) unless absolutely necessary, citing concerns about a potential link between the drug and rising autism rates in children. He extended this caution to young children, recommending Tylenol not be given for "virtually any reason," and suggested changes to vaccine schedules, such as separating the MMR vaccine into three separate shots and delaying the Hepatitis B vaccine until age 12 or older. His administration is reportedly investigating acetaminophen's safety and has begun approving leucovorin calcium tablets as a potential treatment for autism-associated conditions. These warnings have sparked significant public reaction, including controversial responses from some pregnant women who have posted videos of themselves consuming Tylenol in defiance, which critics have condemned as dangerous and politically motivated. Health experts emphasize the importance of consulting healthcare professionals before making medication decisions during pregnancy and childhood. The White House Press Secretary has commented that the administration does not support indiscriminate medication use and is focused on safety and caution.
