Trump Claims Tylenol Linked To Autism In Shocking Joint Statement With RFK Jr.
After hinting at the news during Charlie Kirk’s memorial service yesterday (September 21), Trump has now made a significant announcement regarding autism in America.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced earlier today (September 22) that the president and US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will be making a statement at 4:00 p.m.
There were rumors that Trump and RFK Jr. were planning to identify Tylenol as the “cause” of autism in America before the conference even took place.
Leavitt advised people to “tone down the judgement” and listen to Trump’s statement with “open ears” despite the fact that the rumors have already generated a great deal of controversy, according to the BBC.
Speaking at Kirk’s memorial service, Trump said of today’s announcement: “Tomorrow we are going to have the biggest medical announcement in the history of the country… I think you’re going to find it to be amazing. I think we have an answer to autism.”
What is autism?
The National Autistic Society, a British group, claims that autism “influences how people experience and interact with the world.”
It continues to explain: “It is a lifelong neurodivergence and disability. Autistic people are different from each other, but for a diagnosis they must share differences from non-autistic people in how they think, feel and communicate.”
“Being autistic means you may feel things and react to them differently to non-autistic people. You may find socialising confusing or tiring, and you may become overwhelmed in loud or busy places.”
“You may have intense interests, prefer order and routine, and use repeated movements or actions to calm yourself or express joy. You might mask your discomfort to fit in, which can lead to mental illness.”
What is Tylenol?
Acetaminophen, sometimes referred to as paracetamol in other countries, is the main active ingredient in Tylenol, a popular pain reliever in the United States.
According to the Tylenol website, people can take acetaminophen for both pain and fever.
It reads: “Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and fever reducer. It is thought to work to relieve minor aches and pains by elevating the body’s overall pain threshold so you feel less pain, and lowers your fever by helping your body eliminate excess heat.”
What has Trump said about autism and Tylenol?
According to the president, the number of children with autism has increased from one in 10,000 to one in 31 in some parts of the United States.
According to Trump and other officials, Tylenol may be responsible for the spike. The president revealed that the FDA will inform doctors that they ‘are strongly urging that women limit Tylenol usage during pregnancy unless medically required’.
He continued by saying that in his opinion, pregnant women shouldn’t take it at all.
“I think you shouldn’t take it, and you shouldn’t take it during the entire pregnancy,” Trump said, per The Telegraph.
“They may tell you that toward the end of the pregnancy, you shouldn’t take it during the entire [pregnancy] and you shouldn’t give the child the Tylenol.”
What has Tylenol said about the allegations?
The pharmaceutical company disputed Tylenol causes autism in a response to the BBC prior to Trump’s declaration.
“We believe independent, sound science clearly shows that taking acetaminophen does not cause autism,” the business stated.
It continued: “We strongly disagree with any suggestion otherwise and are deeply concerned with the health risk this poses for expecting mothers.”
