Since President Donald Trump made announcement three weeks ago about the use of Tylenol. He said that using Tylenol during pregnancy might raise autism risks, it raises fear and confusion that has spread across social media and news platforms. His strong claims have left many people anxious and unsure what to believe especially expectant parents.
“ Misinformation can be dangerous,”
doctors warns, because anything false about Tylenol and its developmental conditions are already spreading online and in some communities.
“ I think I can say that there are some people that don’t take vaccines or any pills ,”
he claimed.
“It doesn’t exist with the Amish community, and they don’t take all of this pills. It doesn’t exist.”
“ One in 271 is the number they got, but the methods that are used to estimate the prevalence of autism in the general population are quite different, and use of physicians and health care workers in the two communities are different.”
“I would be hesitant to compare the one to 271 to any estimate in the general population.”
“There are genetic conditions that include autism, that are actually more common in the Amish population, including a variant in the CNTNAP2, which has been characterized and is associated with autism and epilepsy,”
he said.
“It’s essentially exclusively seen in the Amish community as one example of how the current administration is tremendously misinformed and has not read the medical literature.”
“ In terms of Tylenol, I can authoritatively say that the Amish definitely use Tylenol.”
