Streeting tells Britons 'don’t pay any attention whatsoever to what Trump says
about medicine'
Wes
Streeting, the health secretary, has urged pregnant women to ignore Donald
Trump’s bogus claims about a link between taking paracetamol and autism.
Speaking
on ITV’s Lorraine, Streeting said:
I trust
doctors over President Trump, frankly, on this.
Streeting
explained:
I’ve just
got to be really clear about this: there is no evidence to link the use of
paracetamol by pregnant women to autism in their children. None.
In fact,
a major study was done back in 2024 in Sweden, involving 2.4 million children,
and it did not uphold those claims.
So I
would just say to people watching, don’t pay any attention whatsoever to what
Donald Trump says about medicine. In fact, don’t even take my word for it, as a
politician – listen to British doctors, British scientists, the NHS.
It’s
really important that a time when you know there is scepticism – and I don’t
think scepticism itself, asking questions is in itself a bad thing, by all
means, ask questions – but we’ve got to follow medical science.
