Bhattacharya, Makary and Oz have an Op-Ed on Politico outlining everything from today

If anybody is looking for a follow up or comprehensive review of everything the press conference was covering, this is pretty good

Some highlights - note their language here is pretty subdued compared to Trump's "Tylenol is the devil" from today

Leucovorin is a drug that has been on the market for decades and has a favorable safety profile. It is important to note that leucovorin is not a cure for autism but has demonstrated an improvement in speech-related deficits for autism.

Over the past few years, observational evidence has suggested that when moms take acetaminophen during pregnancy, especially close to delivery, it is correlated with subsequent diagnosis of conditions like autism and ADHD in their children. Peer-reviewed data from large-scale cohort studies, including the Nurses’ Health Study II and the Boston Birth Cohort, find this association.

At the same time, we also recognize the literature continues to evolve and evidence from family control studies have failed to find a correlation. Furthermore, acetaminophen is the only over-the-counter medication approved to treat fevers during pregnancy, and high fevers in pregnant moms can pose a risk to their unborn child as well, such as neural tube defects.

What should parents do? In light of this evidence and lack of clear alternatives, we believe acetaminophen should be used judiciously in pregnancy, and under medical supervision of an obstetrician, as a practical, prudent medical approach that balances risks and benefits. This caution could be extended to infants and toddlers.
