Trump's Warning That Pregnant Women Should Not Take Tylenol Raises Scientists' Bewilderment
Six months after President Donald Trump shocked with the statement that pregnant women should not take Tylenol because it is "associated with a significantly increased risk of autism," the impact of his comments is still significant. In the initial months after the White House announcement, fewer pregnant patients were taking Tylenol, reports a recently published study in the medical journal The Lancet. The state attorney general sued the manufacturer of Tylenol, arguing that they failed to disclose its risks. Conversely, scientists have already established an independent group to counter government efforts and debunk misinformation, reported CNN.
