À propos de cet audio

 In a televised press conference on Monday, Donald Trump and health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr made a series of unproven claims about autism and its links to paracetamol use in pregnant women, and childhood vaccinations. The comments were immediately refuted by scientists and health agencies around the world, but many expressed concern about the impact of this misinformation being repeated at the highest levels of government. So what does the science really say? Madeleine Finlay speaks to science editor Ian Sample to fact check the claims made in the announcement, and find out what decades of scientific research into autism tells us about its causes and why diagnoses are on the rise.
