Summary
Freddy Gray speaks to The Spectator's economics editor Michael Simmons about Trump's announcement at the Oval Office on Monday night that taking Tylenol, known as paracetamol, 'is no good' and that pregnant women should 'fight like hell' to only take it in cases of extreme fever. They discuss the data behind the claims, whether the President is right, and what else could explain the startling rise in children with autism.
