Washington Post says announcement imminent despite guidelines showing drug – known as paracetamol elsewhere - is safe for pregnant women to take

Donald Trump’s administration is on Monday expected to tie pregnant women’s use of the popular medicine Tylenol – known as paracetamol elsewhere in the world – to a risk of autism, contrary to medical guidelines, the Washington Post has reported.

Trump officials are also expected to announce an effort to explore how the drug leucovorin could purportedly and potentially treat autism, according to the Post report published Sunday, which cited four sources with knowledge of the plans who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the announcement had not been made.

Medical guidelines say it is safe for pregnant women to take Tylenol, the over-the-counter pain medication whose active ingredient is known as acetaminophen in the US and paracetamol elsewhere in the world.

    I’m not the one defeating starting points.

    In the time you’ve been disregarding all inputs in favor of this glib “but what about the epstein files” comment, things have gotten progressively worse.

      Holding this admin to account in anything else has repeatedly failed only Epstein has made this admin squirm. Look at how aggressively they are martyring Kirk bc it’s distraction from Epstein. That assassination has been mighty effective on changing their narrative, unfortunately.

        All of that may be true, and yet posting “what about the Epstein files” in response to every new atrocity is not achieving anything at all.
