WHO says there is no link between autism and paracetamol use during pregnancy

GENEVA: The World Health Organization said on Wednesday there is currently no conclusive scientific evidence confirming a possible link between autism and use of paracetamol during pregnancy. 
US President Donald Trump on Monday linked autism to childhood vaccine use and the taking of popular pain medication Tylenol by women when pregnant, elevating claims not backed by scientific evidence to the forefront of US health policy.
“The evidence remains inconsistent,” WHO spokesperson Tarik Jašarević told a Geneva press briefing when asked about a possible link between paracetemol use in pregnancy and autism.
“We know that vaccines do not cause autism. Vaccines, as I said, save countless lives. So this is something that science has proven, and these things should not be really questioned,” he added.
