APTrump’s unfounded claims heap new stress on household brand name Tylenol

In a post on his Truth Social platform on September 26, 2025, President Donald Trump issued urgent warnings for pregnant women and parents regarding the use of Tylenol and childhood vaccines. The post advised pregnant women to avoid Tylenol unless absolutely necessary and cautioned against giving the common pain reliever to young children “for virtually any reason.” Trump also called for dividing the MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, and rubella) into three separate shots instead of a combined one, advocated for the chickenpox vaccine to be administered separately, and recommended delaying the Hepatitis B vaccine until children are at least 12 years old. Most notably, he urged that vaccines be spread out over five separate medical visits to reduce the overall “vaccine load.”His Truth Social post stated:”Pregnant Women, DON’T USE TYLENOL UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, DON’T GIVE TYLENOL TO YOUR YOUNG CHILD FOR VIRTUALLY ANY REASON, BREAK UP THE MMR SHOT INTO THREE TOTALLY SEPARATE SHOTS (NOT MIXED!), TAKE CHICKEN P SHOT SEPARATELY, TAKE HEPATITAS B SHOT AT 12 YEARS OLD, OR OLDER, AND, IMPORTANTLY, TAKE VACCINE IN 5 SEPARATE MEDICAL VISITS! President DJT.”The post follows a White House press conference where President Trump expanded upon his claims, linking Tylenol use during pregnancy to a “very increased risk of autism” in children. Trump’s blunt admonition included remarks such as, “Tylenol is not good. All right, I’ll say it; it’s not good,” and “I want to be clear, don’t take Tylenol. Just don’t do it.” He urged pregnant women to “fight like hell” to avoid the drug unless absolutely necessary, such as high fever cases that cannot be managed otherwise.Live EventsSupporting Trump’s statements was Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr, a known vaccine skeptic, who joined the administration in announcing plans to update the FDA acetaminophen label to include warnings about a possible link with autism and ADHD—though medical experts say the evidence is inconclusive. The administration also promoted leucovorin (folinic acid) as a potential treatment for autism symptoms, a claim met with skepticism by many in the scientific community.These claims have generated sharp criticism from leading health authorities such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), and the World Health Organization (WHO). These organizations affirm that acetaminophen (Tylenol) is considered safe when used as directed during pregnancy and is the preferred drug for managing pain and fever. Untreated fever itself poses risks to both mother and fetus. The medical community also warns that fragmenting vaccines or delaying immunizations increases the risk of preventable disease outbreaks.Autism experts note that autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnoses have risen significantly over time, largely due to broadening diagnostic criteria, increased awareness, and better screening—not specific environmental triggers like acetaminophen use. Leading psychiatrists and researchers have cautioned that the current scientific data do not establish a causal relationship between prenatal Tylenol exposure and autism.In response to the President’s announcements, many healthcare professionals expressed concerns about the potential for misinformation to cause undue anxiety among pregnant women and parents. They stress the importance of consulting medical professionals and following evidence-based guidelines when making decisions about medication and vaccines.FAQ:Q: Is Tylenol safe during pregnancy?A: Yes. Extensive research and professional guidance indicate that acetaminophen is safe for pain or fever relief in pregnancy when used at recommended doses.Q: Does prenatal Tylenol use cause autism?A: Current evidence suggests only a possible association with no definitive proof of causation. Autism has complex, multifactorial causes including genetics.Q: When should children receive the Hepatitis B vaccine?A: The CDC recommends vaccination shortly after birth. Delays may increase infection risk.Add as a Reliable and Trusted News Source Add Now!
