Kennedy Junior &#8211; said taking Tylenol, also known as paracetamol, during pregnancy was linked to a &quot;very increased risk&quot; of autism in children. Medical experts have strongly pushed back on the claims, saying there is not strong enough scientific evidence to show a link, with some calling the president&#8217;s comments dangerous.   <\/p>\n<p>In the past few months, several of the main scientists in charge of public health in America have either been sacked by the health secretary, or have resigned in protest at what they say are decisions based on ideology, not scientific data.   <\/p>\n<p>In today\u2019s episode, Anthony and Marianna chat to Dr Debra Houry, a former chief medical officer at the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, who spent a decade at the organisation before resigning in protest over RFK Jr\u2019s leadership. She tells us about the events that pushed her towards resignation, the differences between working with Trump\u2019s first and second administrations, and why she believes RFK Jr poses a risk to public health.<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe here: http:\/\/bit.ly\/1rbfUog<\/p>\n<p>For more news, analysis and features visit: www.bbc.com\/news <\/p>\n<p>#US #USNews #BBCNews<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monday\u2019s White House announcement made headlines worldwide when Donald Trump &#8211; flanked by his health secretary Robert F.
