Is paracetamol safe during pregnancy and does it have links to autism?

The article discusses the recent claims made by US President Donald Trump regarding the safety of paracetamol, also known as Tylenol or acetaminophen, during pregnancy. Trump has urged pregnant women to avoid taking this common painkiller, stating that it can increase the risk of autism in children. However, the article notes that Trump's claims are in direct contradiction with the scientific consensus. Experts from around the world have strongly condemned the president's statements, fearing that he is deliberately creating a narrative of distrust that could be harmful to pregnant women. The article emphasizes that the scientific community has not found any conclusive evidence linking paracetamol use during pregnancy to an increased risk of autism. The article does not provide any further details on the scientific research or the rationale behind Trump's claims.
