Convicted felon Donald Trump has now begun to dispense medical guidance to the public that is at odds with the scientific consensus. Most well-informed folks don't need to be told to ignore whatever comes out of Trump's mouth. But for the record-- multiple peer-reviewed studies have shown NO LINK between acetaminophen and Autism.
Trump is the guy who wondered out loud in a televised briefing about the possibility of treating the coronavirus by "injection inside or almost a cleaning" with disinfectant. That resulted in medical authorities frantically advising the public against ingesting or injecting disinfectant products.
This is also the same moron who advised people to take anti-malaria drugs to cure COVID. His public statements were later proven to have increased deaths in patients treated with it in hospitals around the world, after significant numbers of doctors began prescribing it without scientific evidence.
Trump has long cast doubt on the advice of medical professionals, and he routinely ignored officials in his first term during the pandemic. He largely refused to wear a mask, even as the federal guidance recommended Americans do so. He elevated officials who had rosier outlooks on the pandemic and sidelined or pushed out those who warned about his approach. Since returning to office, Mr. Trump has elevated vaccine skeptics, and his administration has defunded vaccine research.
