Now Trump’s even giving kids headaches

President Donald Trump spreads even more medical disinformationthis time by pulling crazy Post social post Promote a new compound vaccination calendar and advise to give children in Tylenol.

“Pregnant women, do not use tylenol, unless it is absolutely necessary, do not give tylenol to your young child for practically a reason [sic] B Pulled at 12 or more, and, above all, take a vaccine in 5 separate medical visits! He wrote.

We do not know where Trump – who is not a doctor and can’t even pronounce acetaminophenwhich is sold under the Tylenol brand name – has known the idea to give to the children of Tylenol causes autism.

It’s a step more than what the Secretary of Health and Social Services failed you, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Embarrassing press conference On Monday, in which he and Trump said that taking Tylenol during pregnancy causes autism in infants.

Say that children Should not take Tylenol because it could cause that autism is, of course, a completely false statement, because autism is a Development disorderalmost universally caused by genetics And just the parent done during pregnancy.

Giving a young child in Tylenol cannot cause autism because autism develops in utero. The difference in this type of disinformation could be extremely harmful.

“On tylenol and autism, one thing is clear: there is no credible evidence that the first cause the second. What we know is that fear and disinformation can cause real damages”, Ashish K. Jha, Dean of the Brown University School of Public Health, written For the Boston Globe.

Tell parents not to give their children tylenol is also crazy because acetaminophen is the only Pain / fever relief reducer which is safe for infants under 6 months of age. And, of course, parents should consult their doctors if their children are sick.

But frightening parents to give an infant a fever reductive is absurdly dangerous, because high fevers can cause crises and dehydration, and not treat them can cause more harm, that’s why real Doctors are dismayed by Trump’s latest medical disinformation.

“So much nonsense here: Tylenol (under the direction of a doctor) is the safest pain during pregnancy. Tylenol is also sure in children (much safer than aspirin). MMR is not even available as” separate photos “. The separation of vaccines is not more sure. Written on x.

Although there is a positive here: the public does not seem to be sold on the disinformation of Trump and Kennedy’s autism.

A Yougov survey Friday, published Friday, 56% of Americans do not trust Trump’s conclusions on the cause of autism, 43% saying that they do not trust the conclusions “at all” and 13% saying that they do not trust them “too much”.

Even republican voters do not seem to be convinced about Trump’s autism conclusions, 38% saying they don’t trust them or do not know if they do.

In the end, Trump is a moron without medical experience. So whatever you do, don’t take medical advice.
