The president posted a truly unhinged rant<\/span> on his Truth Social platform<\/span><\/a> Friday where he told pregnant women not to use Tylenol \u201cunless absolutely necessary,\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Trump also suggested not giving the over-the-counter painkiller to children \u201cfor virtually any reason,\u201d before offering other dubious claims about vaccines in all caps: <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n BREAK UP THE MMR SHOT INTO THREE TOTALLY SEPARATE SHOTS (NOT MIXED!), TAKE CHICKEN P SHOT SEPARATELY, TAKE HEPATITAS B SHOT AT 12 YEARS OLD, OR OLDER, AND, IMPORTANTLY, TAKE VACCINE IN 5 SEPARATE MEDICAL VISITS! President DJT<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n The diatribe came a few days after Trump and his Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. hosted a press conference where they promoted <\/span>unproven and in some cases discredited ties<\/span><\/a> that acetaminophen, the drug found in Tylenol, is linked to autism in kids.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Medical experts have called Trump\u2019s claims \u201cirresponsible\u201d<\/span><\/a> and emphasized that maternal conditions acetaminophen helps treat, such as fever, are far riskier to fetal health. Still, Trump continues to make these claims.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n As a result, Gupta went scorched earth over the president\u2019s claims during a segment on MSNBC Friday, especially the one about Hepatitis B, which he<\/span> called \u201cerroneous\u201d and \u201cdangerous.\u201d<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cFor all our viewers out there, saying that you should take the hepatitis B shot at 12 years of age when currently it\u2019s recommended in the first 24 hours of life is a dramatic, dramatic departure from just common sense medical knowledge,\u201d Gupta said, before explaining to host Ana Cabrera the reason we behind that recommendation.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cWe recommend it at birth because there\u2019s unfortunately a lot of babies, despite efforts at screening mom, still get exposed to hepatitis B, which can cause chronic liver disease if a baby gets exposed to it during birth or in their very first moments of life. Ninety percent of babies … get exposed to hepatitis B through blood-borne transmission,\u201d Gupta said.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n You can see Gupta call out the president\u2019s bad medical advice in the two clips below.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Truth<\/span>Saves<\/span>Lives<\/span><\/p>\n Your Support<\/span>Fuels<\/span>Our Mission<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Your Support<\/span>Fuels<\/span>Our Mission<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
