Reinforcing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acog.org\/womens-health\/faqs\/headaches-and-pregnancy\">existing clinical guidance<\/a>, the authors concluded that acetaminophen should remain the recommended pain and fever treatment for pregnant people, but ongoing falsehoods asserted by the Trump administration about the link may still confuse people about its safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How widespread is the narrative?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the Trump administration <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/articles\/2025\/09\/fact-evidence-suggests-link-between-acetaminophen-autism\/\">warned<\/a> against a potential link between prenatal acetaminophen use and neurodevelopmental outcomes in September 2025, despite a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/d41586-025-03123-3\">lack of causal evidence<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kff.org\/public-opinion\/kff-tracking-poll-on-health-information-and-trust-tylenol-autism-link-and-vaccine-policies\/#9c5a50c7-362d-4cc4-807b-264da8535753--h-belief-in-claim-that-tylenol-increases-autism-risk-when-taken-during-pregnancy\">KFF polling, fielded shortly after the Trump administration&#8217;s announcement, <\/a>found that three-quarters (77%) of the public had heard the unproven claim that taking Tylenol during pregnancy can increase the risk of autism.

On January 5, several days before the study\u2019s publication, President Trump warned pregnant people against using Tylenol in a post on Truth Social. After the study was published, a spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/health\/article-15476753\/US-health-chiefs-autism-paracetamol-concern.html\">questioned its conclusions<\/a>, stating that \u201cmany experts have expressed concern\u201d about a link between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and outcomes like autism and ADHD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why this matters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Individuals may weigh these conflicting messages based on trust in these sources. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/science\/2026\/01\/15\/americans-confidence-in-scientists\/\">Pew Research<\/a>, Americans report more confidence in scientists (77%) than in elected officials (27%) to act in the public\u2019s best interest. At the same time, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kff.org?entry=trusted-sources-of-health-information-who-the-public-trusts-for-health-information\">KFF polling<\/a> from January 2026 shows that trust in sources for health information can vary by political affiliation, with majorities of Republicans saying they trust President Trump and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for reliable health information, compared to fewer than half of independents or Democrats. However, across partisanship, doctors and health care providers remain the most trusted source of health information, placing them in a key position as messengers of health information for the public.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" style=\"margin-top:25px;margin-bottom:25px\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-we-re-watching\">What We\u2019re Watching<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-heading-4-font-size\" id=\"h-cdc-has-stopped-updating-dozens-of-public-health-databases-mostly-related-to-vaccines\">CDC has Stopped Updating Dozens of Public Health Databases, Mostly Related to Vaccines<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recent changes in how the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) maintains its public data systems come at a time when confidence in federal health institutions is already <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kff.org\/?entry=trusted-sources-of-health-information-trends-in-trust-of-government-health-agencies-and-officials\">eroding<\/a>. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acpjournals.org\/doi\/10.7326\/ANNALS-25-04022\">study<\/a> published in the <em>Annals of Internal Medicine<\/em> found that nearly half of the CDC\u2019s routinely updated databases were paused without explanation in 2025. Of the 82 databases updated at least monthly at the start of the year, 38 had not been updated for six months by the end of October. Nearly 90% of the paused systems were related to vaccines, occurring as vaccine decision-making has increasingly been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/01\/23\/health\/milhoan-vaccines-optional-polio.html\">framed<\/a> as an individual choice rather than a public health consideration. Pausing these databases reduces the availability of timely information used in public health decision-making. Local health officials often depend on CDC databases&nbsp;to guide responses to outbreaks, and researchers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/health\/health-news\/cdc-databases-not-updated-vaccines-study-rcna255467\">warn<\/a> that the absence of regular, reliable data may make it more difficult to respond effectively.

Given this baseline assumption, study participants prioritized privacy and data protection when asked what information should be disclosed about AI tools.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">The study examined patient perspectives on AI transparency in health care settings through community deliberations with Michigan residents. Researchers identified five content areas that study participants recommended be included on AI transparency labels similar to drug labels or nutrition facts panels, with privacy and security ranked first, followed by health equity, safety and effectiveness, application, and implications for health outcomes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why this matters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Participants in the study assumed AI tools would be thoroughly evaluated for safety and effectiveness, but the study authors note that this assumption is not always supported by current policy and implementation strategies. Questions about the accuracy and potential harms of AI in health care remain, including concerns about AI chatbots <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kff.org\/health-information-trust\/ai-health-tools-raise-safety-concerns-plus-flu-vaccine-myths-spread-during-record-season\/#ai-health-products\">providing wrong or dangerous medical advice<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kff.org\/public-opinion\/kff-health-tracking-poll-public-use-and-trust-in-health-care-apps-and-websites\/\">KFF polling<\/a> has found that just one in three adults say they would trust an online health tool that uses AI to access their medical records to provide personalized health information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">The study found that providing transparent and accessible information about how AI is used in health care settings could help build trust and enable patients to engage with their providers about the use of AI tools. By grounding transparency efforts in patient priorities, particularly around privacy, equity, and safety, health care organizations and AI developers may be able to address some public concerns that currently limit confidence in AI tools.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" style=\"margin-top:25px;margin-bottom:25px\" \/>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-more-from-kff\">More From KFF<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">KFF Health News:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/kffhealthnews.org\/news\/article\/on-air-january-24-2026-tylenol-pregnancy-study-measles-aca-subsidies-rural-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Journalists Mine News for Insights on Tylenol, Obamacare Credits, and Rural Health Funding<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">KFF Health News:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/kffhealthnews.org\/news\/article\/covid-long-term-effects-risks-trump-policies-vaccines-research-hhs-rfk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trump Policies at Odds With Emerging Understanding of Covid\u2019s Long-Term Harm<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">KFF Policy Brief: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kff.org\/affordable-care-act\/aca-marketplace-enrollment-is-down-in-2026-but-all-of-the-data-isnt-in-yet\/\">ACA Marketplace Enrollment is Down in 2026\u2014But All of the Data Isn\u2019t in Yet<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);flex-basis:290px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group wp-block-kff-sticky-menu is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-899e6947 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained wp-container-4 is-position-sticky wp-block-block\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-right:0;padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-left:0\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-right:0;margin-left:0;padding-top:0;padding-right:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0\"><strong><strong>About The Health Information and Trust Initiativ<\/strong>e:<\/strong> the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kff.org\/health-information-and-trust\/\">Health Information and Trust Initiative<\/a> is a KFF program aimed at tracking health misinformation in the U.S., analyzing its impact on the American people, and mobilizing media to address the problem.
