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

@danielleofri.bsky.social piece in @nytimes.com does an excellent job explaining the conundrum many in medicine are facing. It will be a hard journey, but we can't give up. #yourcareisatourcore
It’s hard to convey how grieved my colleagues and I feel by the evisceration of CDC, NIH et al. It’s like a death in the family, except that it’s a mass-casualty situation. Our govt seems determined to handicap your MD/RN's ability to care for you. tinyurl.com/4uey6sae
