California health officials warned Tuesday that President Donald Trump’s recent claims linking Tylenol to autism are not rooted in scientific evidence, as medical associations reaffirmed that the common painkiller is safe and beneficial for pregnant women.
“We are currently seeing the federal government provide a proliferation of simple answers to complex issues and false claims that can cause harm,” the California Department of Public Health and the state surgeon general, Diana Ramos, said in a statement Tuesday afternoon. Ramos has three decades of experience as an obstetrician gynecologist at Kaiser Permanente in Southern California, according to her biography.
The push-back is the latest schism between the federal government’s medical advice under the Republican Trump administration and Democrat-led California. As federal regulators and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention health advisors picked by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. prepared to pare back vaccination recommendations this month, California formed a health alliance with neighboring Democratic states and issued different recommendations that align with those of major medical associations.
“Americans deserve clear medical guidance that is the result of a rigorous scientific process,” the California officials said. “We urge everyone to seek out credible medical guidance to inform their health care choices and to have conversations with their licensed health care providers.”
