Donald Trump’s Tylenol Claim Sparks Skepticism Among Americans
Public Reaction to Trump’s Claims on Tylenol and Autism
A recent poll by KFF sheds light on the American public’s reaction to Donald Trump’s controversial assertions that Tylenol is linked to autism in newborns. While 77 percent of respondents were aware of Trump’s claim, only 35 percent agreed with it, despite the lack of scientific backing.
Among the 1,334 adults surveyed, an overwhelming 60 percent expressed skepticism, with opinions split evenly between “probably true” and “probably false.” Meanwhile, just 4 percent of participants considered the statement “definitely true,” compared to 35 percent who labeled it as “definitely false.”
Partisan Views Highlight Sharp Divides
The poll results underline significant partisan differences in assessing Trump’s claim. While 59 percent of Democrats firmly dismissed the Tylenol-autism link as false, only 12 percent of Republicans shared this sentiment. Conversely, half of all GOP voters believed Trump’s assertion was “probably true.”
Declining Trust in Health Institutions
In addition to the controversy surrounding Tylenol and autism, the survey highlights a broader decline in trust in health organizations. Confidence in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has plummeted to a new low of 50 percent, marking a significant 24-point drop among Democrats since 2023.
