Washington (AP) – President Donald Trump I’m not a doctor. But he plays on TV on Monday and offers a huge amount Unproven medical advice What he proposed – often without providing evidence – may help reduce autism Fee.
Trump repeatedly begged pregnant women to avoid taking Tylenol, the painkiller, the best-selling form of acetaminophen. That’s despite the long-term recommendation of acetaminophen as a safe option during pregnancy by American obstetricians and gynecologists. He even made the time when the children should be given painkillers.
He speaks with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Secretary of Health and Human Services. Vaccine skepticsTrump has stopped opposing all vaccines. However, he said that important vaccinations need to be delayed or that combination shots must be provided individually. There is no link to autism in the vaccine.
“You shouldn’t pump your baby up in the biggest mountain you’ve ever seen,” he said.
Trump has also violently exaggerated how such shots (some of which protect against four illnesses) are given.
“I think it’s very bad. They’re pumping it up. They look like they’re pumping it up on the horse,” Trump said. “You have a little kid. A little fragile kid. And I think you have 80 different vaccines.

The presentation reminded me of the early days of Coronavirus pandemic During Trump’s first term, the president stood for daily White House briefings, throwing out grossly inaccurate claims. Inject disinfectant You can help people.
“I’m looking at disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, a minute. And is there a way to do that by injecting it inside? Trump asked in April 2020. “As you see, it goes into the lungs, it has an incredible number in the lungs, so it would be interesting to check it out.”
He later claimed he had been joking, but those briefings quickly stopped. His tone remained serious on Monday.
The President proposed an unspecified issue with safe and effective MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) and advised parents years later than they have now, up to the age of 12, to be administered to children.
However, the theme he struck more hard than any other was to declare the supposed link between autism and acetaminophen, known in most countries outside the US as paracetamol. Trump repeatedly said, “Don’t take Tylenol,” increasing the urgency and ultimately cried out.
Tylenol maker Kambue disputed the link between drugs and autism, saying that if a pregnant mother does not use Tylenol when she is in trouble, she could face the choice of suffering from a potentially dangerous fever or using a higher-risk painkiller alternative.
Trump, Kennedy and many of the administration’s top health officials have all spoken, but mostly repeated known statistics rather than new research findings. Trump appears to admit that science may not be on his side, and at one point he says, “I’m just making these statements out of me.”
“I’m not making them out of these doctors,” the president admitted. “When they talk about different outcomes, different research you know, I talk about a lot of common sense, and they have it, too. They have it.”
But later he claimed that he “talked to many doctors about everything we were talking about.”
Many scientists were horrified
“The announcement on autism was the saddest display of lack of evidence, rumours, recycling old myths, poor advice, complete lies, and dangerous advice that an authoritarian around the world has ever witnessed to me that I know anything about science.” “What was said was not only unsupported, but also wrong, but medical malpractice in managing pregnancy and protecting the life of the fetus.”
Prior to the autism incident, Trump had suggested that his administration had discovered a new medical link that dramatically explained why the rates had risen. However, his preparations did not involve learning how to pronounce acetaminophen.
“Acedo…well, let’s see how we say it. Acid em… Menofine,” Trump said, “Acetaminophen? Is that okay?”
Trump also listened to his advice, “As I say, I have to make it a little difficult,” and insisted that Americans avoiding Tylenol due to pain during pregnancy “has no flaws.”
“Everything I said, there’s no drawback to doing that,” Trump said. “It can only be good.” Still, untreated fever during pregnancy, especially early pregnancy, increases the risk of miscarriage, premature birth and other problems, according to the Maternal Fetal Medicine Association.
The president has tried to move away from such criticism by denounceing pharmaceutical companies and “maybe doctors” for suppressing important medical information previously. He said his statement was based on “information we have.”
“I’m putting them forward, and I’m making them out loud,” Trump said. “And I’m making them strong.”
