白宫2025年的一项索赔将乙酰氨酚与自闭症联系起来,导致妊娠期间其使用量急剧下降,尽管没有新的证据,但自闭症儿童的利古维林处方激增。 A 2025 White House claim linking acetaminophen to autism caused a sharp drop in its use during pregnancy and a surge in leucovorin prescriptions for autistic children, despite no new evidence.

2025年9月,白宫举行简报会,将怀孕期间使用乙氨基苯与自闭症联系起来,并推广利古维林治疗,结果急诊室孕妇的乙氨基苯处方减少了10%,但非孕妇患者的抗乙氨基苯处方没有类似的下降。 In September 2025, a White House briefing linking acetaminophen use during pregnancy to autism and promoting leucovorin as a treatment resulted in a 10% decrease in acetaminophen prescriptions for pregnant women in emergency rooms, but no similar drop in non-pregnant patients. 5至17岁儿童的门诊食疗处方比预期增加71%,自闭症儿童占总数的72%。 Outpatient leucovorin prescriptions for children aged 5 to 17 increased 71% above expectations, with autistic children accounting for 72% of the total. 这些变化是在没有新的临床证据或准则更新的情况下发生的,表明尽管缺乏科学支持,高调的政治信息如何能迅速改变医疗做法。 The changes occurred in the absence of new clinical evidence or guideline updates, demonstrating how high-profile political messaging can quickly shift medical practices despite a lack of scientific support. 到12月,Tylenol的使用已恢复正常,但Leucovorin处方仍然很高。 Tylenol use had returned to normal by December, but leucovorin prescriptions remained high. 医学专家警告说,这种未经核实的说法可能危及循证护理和公众对科学的信心。 Medical experts warn that such unverified claims can jeopardize evidence-based care and public confidence in science.
