Donald Trump warns pregnant women for autimus of paracetamol

The US government wants to have discovered a cause of autism in children-however, scientific studies speak a different language: US President Donald Trump made a connection between taking the painkillers Paracetamol during pregnancy and increased autism risk on Monday.

The FDA pharmaceutical authority will inform doctors about this, Trump announced that it was submitted without evidence of his claim. During an appearance with his Health Minister Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “This applies, for example, to an extremely high fever,” emphasized the President.

“Tylol is not good,” said Trump at an event in the White House about the remedy known in the United States under this brand name. “I say it very openly. Not good.”

“There is a rumor – and I don’t know if it is true or not – that there is no Tylenol in Cuba because they have no money for Tylenol. And they have practically no autism,” said Trump.

According to scientists, there is no clear evidence of a connection between autism and taking paracetamol. This is one of the most commonly used over -the -counter pain relievers. The US university for obstetricians and gynecologists (ACOG) in Washington is part of a number of facilities that recommend Tylenol as one of the safest opportunities for pain relief and fever reduction during pregnancy.

The US drug authority FDA also commented on the subject of much more reserved than Trump. In a letter to doctors it was said that “no causal connection” had been proven and that the scientific debate continued.

A literary evaluation published last month came to the conclusion that there were reasons for the assumption that there was a possible connection between the taking of Tylenol and autism. However, many other studies came to the opposite result.

The announcement of the US government was expected. The manufacturer of Tylenol, the consumer goods company Kenvue, rejected a connection again before Trump’s statement. The claim has no scientific basis, the company said. In the past few days, Kenvue had also stated that the FDA and leading medical institutions had agreed on the security of paracetamol, its use during pregnancy and the information provided on the label. Pregnant women are advised to speak to their doctor before taking medication. Kenvue shares had gone from regular trade with a minus of 7.5 percent.

Trump also claimed that there was “no reason” to vaccinate newborns against the highly contagious infectious disease hepatitis B. He demanded changes in the vaccination plan for infants regarding hepatitis B. “I would say, wait for the baby to be twelve years old and mature,” he said. The US President thus contradicted the medical consensus that the mother’s disease can best prevent the mother from vaccination on the first day of life. Hepatitis B can damage the liver and cause cancer.

Trump has been at war with science for a long time. During the Corona pandemic, the right-wing populist had brought the spraying of disinfectant against the virus into play.

His Minister of Health Kennedy is considered an opponent of vaccination and repeatedly made a name for himself with conspiracy stories. He particularly focuses on autism- a disorder of information and perception work, which affects social contacts and communication skills, among other things.

Meanwhile, the FDA allowed the drug to treat certain forms of autism on Monday. However, from the perspective of experts, further research is required. Leuco -Sanin is a form of vitamin B, it was originally used to relieve the side effects of chemotherapy.
