“I’ll say it. It’s not good. For this reason, they are strongly recommending that women limit Tylenol use during pregnancy unless medically necessary." said Trump during the presser.
However, the president did not present any evidence to back up his claim. Trump also linked unproven concerns about vaccines and their contributions to the rising rates of autism in the US.

As per the CDC, autism affects at least 1 in 31 children in the US today. Along with Trump, Health Secretary Robert F.

Trump's announcement comes as the latest step of his administration, driven by Kennedy and his ‘Make America Health Again’ campaign to reshape America’s public health landscape.
Ahead of the White House press, Trump on Sunday teased the autism announcement as a big one. “I think we found an answer to autism," the President was quoted as saying during Charlie Kirk's memorial service in Glendale, Arizona.
