After the Trump management raised concerns about a potential link ⁣between prenatal acetaminophen use and neurodevelopmental outcomes⁤ in September‍ 2023, despite a ‍ lack of ‌conclusive ‌causal evidence, KFF polling, fielded shortly after⁤ the announcement, found that three-quarters (77%) of the public had heard the claim that taking Tylenol during ⁤pregnancy ⁤can increase the risk of autism. just 4% of⁤ adults said the claim was “definitely true,” while 35% said the claim was ​“definitely false.” At the same time, most⁣ adults expressed⁤ uncertainty, with 30% saying it was “probably⁢ false” and‍ another 30% saying it⁤ was “probably true.” Views on this claim vary by political affiliation, ⁤with just over half ⁤of Republicans (56%) saying it was “definitely” or “probably” true compared to far fewer Democrats.
