On September 22, President Donald Trump, flanked by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz, made a significant announcement at the White House.
The President revealed that the FDA would soon inform physicians about a potential link between the use of acetaminophen during pregnancy and an increased risk of autism in children. This move would lead to updated safety labeling for acetaminophen products, with Tylenol being the most prominent among them.
President Trump advised pregnant women to restrict acetaminophen use to instances of high fever and to avoid administering it to infants, citing alarming autism rates, which now affect 1 in 31 children in the United States.
According to The Blaze, this cautionary measure followed a comprehensive review by the HHS, FDA, and NIH of numerous high-profile studies conducted by established researchers. These studies indicated a probable connection between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism in children.
However, the announcement was met with immediate backlash from some quarters. Several pregnant women, identifying as liberals, took to social media to post videos of themselves defiantly consuming Tylenol. Sara Gonzales, a commentator, highlighted these clips on her show, describing them as "example 4,055,400" of "liberal, mentally ill white women just being absolutely bats**t crazy."
She criticized the women for disregarding scientific advice due to their disdain for President Trump.
In one viral clip, a pregnant woman is seen taking Tylenol with a caption that reads: Heres is me, a PREGNANT woman, taking TYLENOL because I believe in science and not someone who has no medical background.
Another video features a woman using a rainbow filter while taking Tylenol and dancing, captioned: How Im taking Tylenol after Trumps big announcement.
Gonzales expressed her disbelief, stating, So these people are hearing from the scientific community that you might be harming your baby, and theyre taking it anyway. Thats deranged. Abuse your baby to own the cons, right? Like, this is crazy.
During the same press conference, President Trump also addressed the contentious issue of vaccines, reiterating a potential link to autism. He suggested that additives, such as heavy metals, might be contributing factors and recommended spreading out childhood vaccinations over several years instead of bundling them together.
RFK Jr. mentioned suppressed research on the vaccine-autism connection and pledged to continue investigating this potential link. Gonzales praised the administration's stance, stating, The fact that we have a presidential administration that is saying these things is the biggest advancement on MAHA and vaccines of any presidential administration.
Gonzales expressed optimism about the administration's approach, saying, I have real hope. And what I saw [during Mondays press conference] was an administration who absolutely understands what is really going on, who absolutely understands what is at play here, and who is ready to do the work.
Addressing the women she described as suffering from "Trump derangement syndrome," Gonzales remarked, Oh man, you really owned Donald Trump. I mean, you could be harming your fetus, but lets be real. You might just abort it later anyway.
