US President Donald Trump has said there is a link between autism and the pain relieving drug Tylenol, or paracetamol as it's known in other places. Trump said that doctors in the US will soon be advised not to prescribe the pain reliever to pregnant women. Medical experts disagree with these claims, with some calling the President's comments 'dangerous'. The Health Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said the US Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, would begin the process of changing how the medication is labelled and launch a public health campaign. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, who are experts in women's health, said the announcement was unsettling and not based on reliable data. Let's have our first headline. This one is from CBS News in the USA.
'Trump and RFK Jr. make autism announcement as Tylenol maker and medical experts push back.' That headline again from CBS News in the United States.
