Скачать или смотреть 'Based on no real evidence': Jon Sopel on Trump's Tylenol takedown

Medical experts have widely condemned Donald Trump after the US President claimed there is a link between paracetamol use in pregnancy and autism.

Speaking from the White House on Monday, Mr Trump claimed there had been a “meteoric rise” in cases of autism and suggested that Tylenol – which is called paracetamol in the UK – is a potential cause.

He warned the painkiller should not be taken “during the entire pregnancy” as he, and his health secretary RFK Jr, made a slew of unfounded claims about vaccines.

Scientists hit back before the president had even made his speech, with one saying the claim “risks stigmatising families who have autistic children as having brought it on themselves”.

Shelagh Fogarty is joined by the News Agents' Jon Sopel to break down the President's latest announcement.
