Medical professionals, pregnant people and those caring for people with autism note guidance’s disconnect from reality

Medical professionals, pregnant people and readers with a relationship to autism are furious about Monday’s announcement from the Trump administration involving Tylenol and its alleged connection to autism.

Within hours of the Guardian publishing a call for responses to the announcement, hundreds sent in their thoughts. Many of these individuals noted that the announcement had fascist undertones and was largely disconnected from the realities of science and the experience of being pregnant. A number of respondents suggested that this announcement was a bad-faith ploy to distract voters from issues that Trump wants removed from the discourse.

“Tylenol can ease the pain of Epstein?” wondered one Georgia-based reader who preferred to remain anonymous.
