Dear Mr Farage.
I am also not a scientist but I am aware that it’s because of what happened with thalidomide that we now have robust testing and advice on what drugs are safe to use in pregnancy. Paracetamol is one of these.

Farage asked on @lbc.co.uk whether he agreed with on the unproven link between paracetamol and autism
“I have no idea... We were told thalidomide was a v safe drug and it isn’t. who knows. I don’t know, you don’t know…when it comes to science I don’t side with anybody. It’s never settled.”
