Declaring War On AutismThe legacy media sought to discredit the administration’s effort even before the public announcement, belittling the anticipated policy recommendation that pregnant women should avoid taking acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol. This was a declaration of war against autism and the longstanding failure of the federal government to do anything about it.

A prominent example that seems long forgotten is thalidomide, offered confidently in the late 1950s and early 1960s to pregnant women but which caused devastating birth defects on their fetuses.
