Decades of research have found that acetaminophen is safe for children when administered as recommended. Misleading claims link the medicine to autism. These false claims send a dangerous message to parents and does a disservice to autistic individuals. www.aap.org/en/news-room...

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

When the FDA Commissioner goes on TV to elevate an unverified anecdote about a "friend's parent" dying from a COVID vaccine—while ignoring safety data from 1M+ people published 48 hours earlier—we have an institutional problem. This misleading rhetoric is deeply irresponsible. 🧵

Vaccines save 2-3 million lives every year.
They are incredibly safe.
The risk of a serious adverse event after vaccination is ~1 in 1,000,000.
Context:
The risk of dying in a car crash: 1 in 100.
The risk of peanut allergy: 1 in 200,000.
The risk of dying from choking on food is 1 in 2500.

The risk of dying from COVID is 3 in 1,000
The risk of dying from flu is 1 in 10,000.
Yes, everything has a risk. But vaccines are one of the SAFEST things out there. And even serious adverse events after vaccination are almost always treatable.
AND they save lives & improve healthough.
