Fact-checking Trump’s claims of a link between Tylenol and autism

Donald Trump made sweeping statements urging Americans not to use the over-the-counter painkiller Acetaminophen during pregnancy, saying it had links to autism.

Most dangerously, he also repeated disproved claims about vaccines causing autism. Vedika Bahl fact-checks these claims in Truth or Fake.
