Donald Trump’s Tylenol–autism claim: What Harvard dean earned as expert witness in lawsuit?
Dr Andrea Baccarelli, Harvard's public health dean, consulted with the Trump administration on Tylenol's link to autism, despite earning $150,000 as an expert witness in lawsuits against Tylenol's maker. While a judge dismissed the suits citing unreliable evidence, Baccarelli's research, which suggests an association between prenatal acetaminophen exposure and neurodevelopmental disorders, was highlighted by the administration.
