Former President Barack Hussein Obama has chimed in on the Tylenol controversy, after President Donald Trump warned pregnant women not to take the drug (acetaminophen), citing research showing a link to autism in children.

In a Thursday post to X, Obama defended the drug - writing that ‘broad claims around certain drugs and autism’ have been ‘continuously disproven,‘ - and as such, ‘undermine public health, do harm to women who are pregnant,’ and ‘create anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic...
