Former president says successor’s claims about drug branded Tylenol in US ‘undermines public health that can do harm to women’
Barack Obama has said Donald Trump’s claims linking paracetamol to autism in infants is “violence against the truth” that could harm pregnant women if they were too scared to take pain relief.
Obama, who was being interviewed by David Olusoga at the O2 Arena, told the audience that Trump’s claims about paracetamol – branded as Tylenol in the US – had been “continuously disproved” and posed a danger to public health.
“We have the spectacle of my successor in the Oval Office making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproved,” he said. “It undermines public health … that can do harm to women.”
Yep. I’m not going to say the Biden was infallible, but he’s the 2nd best president we’ve had in 35+ years. He got a lot of good passed and fought for what he campaigned on with literal Nazis fighting him every step. His stance on Israel is bad and unfortunately will stain his presidency and he should have never ran for a second term which will probably follow his legacy for a while. But in the end, he inherited a fucking disaster and did a lot of good in 4 years. It’s too bad a lot of his supporting cast was inept and couldn’t get more done.
