'Don't pay any attention to Trump about paracetamol'
The Chronicle
|September 24, 2025
EXPECTANT mothers should ignore Donald Trump's claims about paracetamol use being linked to autism, Health Secretary Wes Streeting has said.
-
The US president said there has been a “meteoric rise” in cases of autism and he suggested Tylenol which is called paracetamol in the UK - is a potential cause.
He said the painkillers should not be taken during pregnancy, suggesting pregnant women should “tough it out”, and also raised unfounded concerns about vaccines. The president’s comments have been criticised by autism campaigners and scientists in the UK. And Mr Streeting said: “I trust doctors over President Trump, frankly, on this,” as he urged pregnant women not to pay “any attention whatsoever” to the US president.
