Memo to Donald Trump

There is no link between paracetamol in pregnancy and autism or ADHD in children.

But Trump, the felon, is a danger, spreading hate and poverty, threatening other countries, sending troops to US cities; ignoring laws and treaties and climate change.

No link between paracetamol in pregnancy and autism or ADHD in children, review finds

Wide-ranging review finds no convincing connection after Trump said women should ‘fight like hell’ to avoid painkiller

Tragic to have high level policy makers put out disinformation on the safety of drugs. Glad to have scientific studies newly published to set the record straight.
