Fact-checking Trump's claims of a link between Tylenol and autism

Description

US President Donald Trump has made sweeping statements urging Americans not to use the over-the-counter painkiller acetaminophen (paracetamol) during pregnancy, saying it had links to autism. But he provided little scientific evidence to back this up. He also made sweeping statements about there being "virtually no autism" amongst the Amish or in Cuba. Most dangerously, he also repeated debunked claims about vaccines causing autism. FRANCE 24's Vedika Bahl fact-checks these claims in Truth or Fake.
