WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump has claimed that taking telonol during pregnancy can automate children, though scientists say there is no concrete evidence to support it.
The Republican leader also emphasized major changes in the standard vaccines given to children.
His remarks have raised a fresh alarm among doctors, warning that such statements can mislead the expected mothers and endanger both children.
Trump’s announcement, with a sweep -up, with uncertain advice, when the White House has pledged to revolutionize health in the United States, and as medical and science experts express widespread concern over the administration’s actions that expose decades of medical consensus.
Medical groups, including the American College of Omstroses and Gynecologists, have long cited paracetamol – which is the main ingredient in Telonol – as the safest pain reducing during pregnancy.
But Trump, who rapidly controlled his message in strong terms, insisted that “it is not good to take tilanol” and “don’t fight like hell not to take it.”
He said that pregnant people should “tighten it”, and that only one “extremely high fever” would justify taking more anti -drug.
This is not true: fever and pain can be at a serious risk to both the mother and the developing fetus.
The head of the NYU’s Medical Ethics Division, Arthur Kepalon, calls Trump’s display “dangerous,” “non -scientific” and “full of false information.”
“I am worried that if pregnant women take tilanols, they will feel guilty. They will feel that they leave their children. They will feel that they are immoral in trying to treat fever. It is not just justice, and this is not something that anyone should feel.”
Discussion continues
The Food and Drug Administration had quietly more silent on the subject than Trump, he told doctors in a letter that “a reason has not been established” and that scientific debate is underway.
A review of a literature published last month concluded that there is a reason for believing in a potential link between Telonol’s display and autism – but many other studies have yielded any opposite result.
Researchers behind the August report have warned that more studies are needed and pregnant people should not stop taking medicines without consulting their doctors.
David Mandel, a psychological expert at the University of Pennsylvania, told AFP that the potential risks posed by the research from research shows that pregnant “is less known than the risk of uncontrollable infection during pregnancy.”
Antiwax ‘risk’ children
Identifying the root of the autism – a complex condition associated with brain growth that many experts believe is found to be primarily for genetic reasons – Trump’s health chief, Robert F. Kennedy has been a junior pet.
Kennedy has spread Debonic claims for decades that vaccine causes autism.
On Monday, he attacked the drug leukorein, which was previously used to eliminate the side effects of chemotherapy, as a “interesting therapy” that can help children with a disorder, whose symptoms are widely varied in a spectrum.
The FDA said Monday that it was approved the drug tablet form to help children with a “mental folate deficiency”.
The vaccine was also on Trump’s conference’s reding agenda.
He repeated the Anti -Vax Movement Talking Points as high as high data in the administration, including Kennedy.
He smells of suspicion on standard vaccines, including MMR shot – which covers measles, mamps and rubella – and this means that it will eliminate the common use of aluminum in vaccines, which has been widely studied.
And the President emphasized a major change in the schedule of the usual vaccine given to the children, without any evidence that there was no reason for newborn children to vaccinate, highly infectious hepatitis B.
This statement has a direct contradiction of widespread medical consensus over decades. Many experts say that the best way to prevent the maternity transfer of the disease, which can cause liver damage and cancer, is to vaccinate children in the first day of life.
Trump’s push came after an influential advisory panel by Kennedy, when the first dose of the hepatitis B vaccine was prevented from delaying a month.
He understood that further discussion was necessary. – Many public health experts offered temporary relief, who said postponing the shot could have serious consequences.
“Eliminating or delaying the vaccine,” said Susan Karley, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics on Monday, that children will not be immunized against the diseases when they are at most risk.
“Any attempt to misrepresent the voice is a threat to the health of the children.”
