EU and WHO Dispute Trump’s Claims Linking Acetaminophen During Pregnancy With Autism

HeadlineSep 24, 2025

The European Union and the World Health Organization are disputing President Trump’s warning linking acetaminophen during pregnancy with autism. In a statement, the European Medicines Agency said, “Available evidence has found no link between the use of paracetamol [another name for acetaminophen] during pregnancy and autism.” Here’s Justine Roberts, founder of the London-based parenting forum Mumsnet.

Justine Roberts: “I think it’s really important that you follow the evidence and the science. And I think most people on Mumsnet are aware that Trump says a lot of stuff which is not to be trusted. So I think it’s very important that the government comes out now.”
