Speaking at a memorial for activist Charlie Kirk, Trump promised \u201cone of the most important news conferences\u201d of his presidency, later announcing that the FDA would warn physicians against acetaminophen use during pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"492\" data-end=\"889\">The president was joined by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who echoed the concerns. Trump went further, suggesting vaccine advice should follow \u201ccommon sense\u201d and \u201cwhat I feel,\u201d remarks that alarmed health experts. To date, no scientific evidence supports a connection between acetaminophen and Autism Spectrum Disorders, making the announcement highly controversial.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"891\" data-end=\"1282\">Among the critics was former president Barack Obama, who denounced Trump\u2019s remarks during an interview in London. \u201cWe have the spectacle of my successor making broad claims around drugs and autism that have been continuously disproved,\u201d Obama said, warning the statements undermine public health and \u201ccan do harm to women.\u201d He also called Trump\u2019s assertions \u201ca violence against the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1284\" data-end=\"1626\">Obama\u2019s intervention highlights the growing concern over the administration\u2019s fixation on \u201cfinding an answer\u201d to autism, despite contradicting established science. With Trump\u2019s comments fueling global debate, the clash underscores both the political volatility of health policy and the risks of rhetoric that departs from medical consensus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump sparked intense backlash this week after claiming there is a direct link between acetaminophen\u2014commonly sold as Tylenol\u2014and autism in children.
