Yep, a mom's COVID shot during pregnancy protects her baby, a large study finds
A 3-year study published in Pediatrics examined newborns in Norway. It found a clear benefit for the baby when mom gets a COVID vaccination during pregnancy.

Imagine a president appointing an Attorney General who never completed their training, never took the bar, and wasn’t a practicing attorney. That would be absurd. Also, that’s what he’s doing with the nation’s top doctor.

Israel has made it easier for Jewish settlers to buy land in the occupied West Bank. That appears to flout agreements that Israel signed under the Oslo peace process as well as Trump's stated opposition to creeping annexation.

Let me be very clear. It is not enough that RFK Jr. was forced to admit today that no causal relationship between Tylenol and autism has been shown. We know that while disinformation spreads like wildfire on social media, corrections most often die on the vine.

Acetaminophen remains a safe pain relief option during pregnancy. Despite recent unfounded claims, there’s no clear evidence linking prudent use to fetal development issues. ACOG's guidance remains. When needed in pregnancy, acetaminophen should be used in moderation, after consulting a doctor.

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk.
