Trump again urges pregnant women to avoid Tylenol as the CDC slashes recommended vaccines for children

Source: The Independent

Monday 05 January 2026 20:47 EST


President Donald Trump has repeated his widely debunked claim that Tylenol is unsafe for expecting mothers on the same day his administration’s health officials revealed a scaled-back childhood vaccine schedule that experts said was not based in new science and could worsen vaccine hesitancy and the return of treatable diseases.

“Pregnant Women, DON’T USE TYLENOL UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, DON’T GIVE TYLENOL TO YOUR YOUNG CHILD FOR VIRTUALLY ANY REASON, BREAK UP THE MMR SHOT INTO THREE TOTALLY SEPARATE SHOTS (NOT MIXED!), TAKE CHICKEN P SHOT SEPARATELY, TAKE HEPATITAS B SHOT AT 12 YEARS OLD, OR OLDER, AND, IMPORTANTLY, TAKE VACCINE IN 5 SEPARATE MEDICAL VISITS!” Trump wrote on Truth Social Monday.

In September, Trump made many of the same claims, as he and top health officials advanced an unsupported theory that acetaminophen, the active ingredient in the medicine, is tied to rising autism rates.

As The Independent reported at the time, studies, including those funded by the U.S. government, have found fetal exposure to acetaminophen carried no increased risk of a later autism diagnosis. Medical officials also warned that avoiding acetaminophen during pregnancy could put mothers and their babies at risk.

It makes me think that the rumors about Barron being autistic are true, and that Trump blames it on Melania taking Tylenol while pregnant. Why else would he return to this issue again and again? It's not like he cares about public health all that much.
