Republican senators, who are also medical doctors, retreat against President Donald Trump’s insistence that pregnant women are not taking acetaminophen, or this puts their unborn children at risk of autism spectrum disorder.
Last week, President and Minister of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stated that they have found a link between autism and the use of acetaminophen, which is an active ingredient in the transcript of tilnol and autism. The president specifically said that mothers should “fight like hell so that they have not eaten it.”
But Republican senators who are physicians – they all voted for Kennedy – a more different answer.
“I am a physician and I think the best decisions have been made between the doctor and his patients and allow health care providers to talk to their patients,” said Orthopedic surgeon. IndependentHuman beings “this is the one who has to talk to them for advice.”
Earlier this month, during a meeting with the Senate Finance Committee with Kennedy, Barasu criticized the fact that under RFK Jr., the United States witnessed the outbreak of measles, which the leaders of the National Health Institutions had questioned the use of MRNA vaccines and had been prevented from the President’s Disease Control Centers.
Senator Bill Casidid (R-LA), head of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee, was strongly criticized for his major vote to confirm Senator’s profession as a gastroenterologist who specializes in the treatment of liver disease.
Casidi used precise language when talking about Trump and RFK.
“I do not want the mothers to sit around and blame themselves if they are captured by Tilenol and have autism,” she said. IndependentHuman
“I admire the President for increasing his concern as others,” she said, referring to a hypothetical mother.
In 2024, a study of 2.5 million children in Sweden examined the transplant between acetaminophen, autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The study showed that acetaminophen consumption during pregnancy “is not associated with the risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability to analyze sibling.”
Despite the fact that the President said that acetaminophen, also known as Parastoli, played “a very large factor” in children who are growing autism, many doctors have warned of Trump’s remarks and medical organizations have been pushed back.
While some studies have shown that the use of acetaminophen during pregnancy may be associated with increased probability of autism and ADHD, research has shown that using it can cause conditions.
But Senator Roger Marshall (R-Kan), a gynecologist, referred to the official White House document on acetaminophen.
“The emphasis on prolonged and chronic use is unlike one time,” he said. IndependentThe US Food and Drug Administration has said that acetaminophen is one of the only safe -prescription drugs to treat fever during pregnancy.
Asked whether he had read about autism and acetaminophen, Marshall said he did so.
“I start reading more and more studies, so probably more. The last week or three weeks, I tried to confirm some of the studies they were referring to,” he said.
But while Marshall emphasized safe use, Trump said, “You don’t get everything, but if you have to, if you can’t make it hard, if there is a problem, you want to finish.” On Friday, he doubled in his views.
Senator R-Ky (R-K.), an ophthalmologist and freedom-seeker, who has long criticized public health bureaucracy, seems to be more open to Trump’s skepticism.
“You know, really, in the modern medical period, doctors have always been cautious with the medications you take or the prescription medications you take during pregnancy,” he said. IndependentHuman
Paul pointed to a study conducted by professors at Harvard University, the University of California Los Angeles, Massachusetts Lowell and Mount Sina, which examined the results of 46 previous studies and showed that its use during pregnancy may increase the risk of autism and ADHD.
“And I think this is not irrational, and it looks at Harvard’s study to show that you assume this caution to consume tilenol during pregnancy,” Monet said.
But the researchers recommended “the use of reasonable acetaminophen-the least effective dose, the shortest period of medical guidance, proportional to individual risk and benefit evaluations, rather than a widespread restriction.”
Numerous health care organizations, including the Faculty of Gynecology and Gynecology, have returned the idea that Tylanol is insecure.
