President Donald Trump falsely claimed that there was a causational link between using Tylenol (acetaminophen) while being pregnant, reports CNN and MSNBC.
Trump stood alongside longtime vaccine conspiracy theorist and Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Mehmet Oz, a former television host and current Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
“Tylenol is not good, don’t take it,” Trump said. He added that women should only take it “if they can’t tough it out.”
According to medical experts, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered the safest option, and with a physician’s guidance, is used to help treat women during pregnancy.
Trump added other lies about the MMR vaccine, mercury in vaccines and aluminum in vaccines.

Trump announced that the FDA will notify doctors that Tylenol during pregnancy could have a link that leads to autism in children.
Trump claimed it could prolong viral illnesses among children, which is an unsubstantiated claim. He also said there was no autism in Amish communities, which is also a false claim.
