Pregnant Women Cut Tylenol Use in ERs After Trump's Unproven Autism Warning, Lancet Study Finds

A study published in The Lancet found that pregnant women in emergency rooms received significantly less acetaminophen after President Trump warned it could raise their babies' risk of autism -- despite scientists saying there is no proven link between the common fever reducer and the developmental disorder. The finding suggests that presidential statements about health, even when scientifically unsubstantiated, can measurably alter medical care and patient behavior. The study raises urgent questions about the power of the presidential platform to influence medical decision-making and the potential consequences when unproven health claims from the nation's highest office change how doctors treat their most vulnerable patients.
