News Networks Must Be Honest About Tylenol & Pregnancy

Fox News senior medical analyst Marc Siegel recently declared, “There’s absolutely no proof whatsoever” that Tylenol causes autism. That kind of definitive assertion should be a bulwark against misleading the public about scientific uncertainty. 

Meanwhile, fringe voices and political figures are pushing the opposite — claiming definitively that taking Tylenol during pregnancy causes autism — despite a lack of conclusive evidence. 

Newsrooms must do better. Amplify expert opinions. Resist political pressure that turns medicine into a battleground.
