Sen. Bill Cassidy pushes back on Trump's claim about acetaminophen and autism

Sen. Bill Cassidy, a physician who is the chairman of the Health Committee, appeared to dispute Trump’s claim that acetaminophen use during pregnancy may cause autism, saying that “the preponderance of evidence shows that this is not the case.”

“I understand and applaud President Trump’s desire to address this issue and to support HHS. HHS should release the new data that it has to support this claim. The preponderance of evidence shows that this is not the case. The concern is that women will be left with no options to manage pain in pregnancy. We must be compassionate to this problem,” Cassidy, R-La., said on X.

Trump said today that the administration is issuing a warning to doctors not to recommend acetaminophen — the active ingredient in Tylenol and other widely used medications — for pregnant women, claiming it may be linked to autism in children.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, along with other major medical groups, say acetaminophen is among the few pain relievers considered safe for use during pregnancy, and studies have found no clear evidence linking it to developmental problems in children.
