WHO rejects Trump’s claims of link between Tylenol and autism

The World Health Organization (WHO) has rejected claims made by the Trump administration that acetaminophen (commonly known as Tylenol) use during pregnancy increases the risk of autism in children. The WHO stated that extensive research, including large-scale studies over the past decade, has found no consistent association between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and an increased risk of autism. The organization emphasized that pregnant women should follow the advice of their doctors regarding the use of acetaminophen and other medications during pregnancy. The WHO's statement aims to provide clarity and dispel any misconceptions about the purported link between Tylenol and autism, which has not been supported by scientific evidence.
