President Trump warned pregnant women last month against taking acetaminophen, the ingredient in Tylenol, claiming it causes autism. Doctors say there's no causal evidence for that and say taking Tylenol is safer than a fever in pregnancy. So what's the public reaction? The poll by KFF found nearly 60% of Democrats say the president's statements were definitely false, but an almost equal percentage of Republicans believe the opposite Ashley Kirzinger directed the poll for kff, a health policy research organization.
