“Don’t take Tylenol. Don’t take it. Combat like hell to not take it,” Trump stated.

After all, scientists and docs have all responded that Trump’s claims are demonstrably false, and to place it plainly, they put pregnant ladies at risk.

Felon 47’s unproven claims led to world well being officers warning in opposition to listening to Trump or his administration on the matter.

However a variety of consultants worldwide famous there was not conclusive proof to help the doable affiliation between autism and acetaminophen — the energetic ingredient in Tylenol and different broadly used drugs — and no new proof to warrant a change in steering.

“Accessible proof has discovered no hyperlink between using paracetamol throughout being pregnant and autism,” stated the European Medicines Company (EMA). Paracetamol is a broadly used identify for Tylenol past the U.S.

However let’s fact-check Trump’s wild Tylenol x autism claims and the entire different egregiously false claims.

Donald Trump Claims There Is “No Draw back To Not Taking Tylenol”

Regardless of Trump claiming there may be “no draw back to not taking Tylenol,” docs have already issued steering concerning Tylenol, telling pregnant ladies to make use of Tylenol sparingly whereas mentioning its advantages. Tylenol can even assist cut back excessive fevers, which might be harmful to each the mom and the kid.

Vaccines

Throughout his “huge announcement,” Trump did rail in opposition to vaccines, particularly childhood vaccination schedules, claiming that docs “load up” kids with too many vaccines, claiming it to be round as much as 80 photographs.

The actual fact is, in response to the CDC’s schedule, kids obtain roughly 30 vaccine doses earlier than the age of 18, and there’s no proof that the vaccines overwhelm their immune programs or trigger autism.

Trump then introduced up Hepatitis B, mentioning it was a sexually transmitted illness and that kids shouldn’t obtain the vaccine till they’re 12.

It’s additionally extremely transmissible by means of supply, in order that’s why docs extremely advocate vaccination at beginning.

So once more, hearken to your docs, not Orange Mussolini, or the person who had brainworms.
