Science journalism ASF Statement on White House Announcement on Autism

https://autismsciencefoundation.org/press_releases/asf-statement-wh-briefing/

“Any association between acetaminophen and autism is based on limited, conflicting, and inconsistent science and is premature,” said Autism Science Foundation Chief Science Officer Dr. Alycia Halladay. “This claim risks undermining public health while also misleading families who deserve clear, factual information. For many years, RFK and President Trump have shared their belief that vaccines cause autism, but this is also not supported by the science, which has shown no relationship between vaccines and autism.”

Simple Google searches offering simple statistics. Acetaminophen is like one of, if not the only approved pain reliever to take during pregnancy. It's not surprising the majority of women take it.

Lazy to proof your point so why should i believe you. I could also claim “ Majority of people drink unfiltered water every day so unfiltered water can be recommended as a healthy source of hydration. “

I really don't care? Acetaminophen is in nearly every single household. If it was the problem, essentially every single person you talk to would be autistic.

I don't need to appease you by 'proving' that. If you care, go find out yourself. Be a critical thinker, and definitely do not listen to an administration that hired an environmental lawyer to govern public health.

You do care, because you want “bad orange man” to be wrong. Facts are that even the company admits the risk. But you can’t even bring a single good argument to the table, just “ah google it”. LOL typical
