September 23, 2025RED FM News DeskMedical professionals and scientists expressed shock on Monday after former President Donald Trump made controversial statements on television, urging pregnant women to avoid Tylenol and reigniting debunked claims linking vaccines to autism. Trump’s remarks contradicted the guidance of his own FDA, which only advises doctors to consider limiting acetaminophen (Tylenol) use during pregnancy due to inconclusive evidence that excessive use might be associated with autism. Despite that cautious stance, Trump pushed the issue further, sparking concern among health experts. Simultaneously, his administration announced increased availability of a potential—but unproven—treatment for autism, along with plans for expanded research into the disorder. Earlier this year, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pledged to uncover the cause of autism by September—a claim that left many experts puzzled.
