UPDATE: President Trump and his deputies tied autism to acetaminophen use during pregnancy, presented a cancer drug as a possible treatment, and said the FDA would change labeling to reflect both claims. There is little strong scientific evidence for either.

Lindsey Halligan, a White House aide and a fierce ally of President Donald Trump, has taken over as the top federal prosecutor in Virginia’s eastern district, according to a person familiar with the change.

As President Trump ties Tylenol to autism, many in the scientific community are alarmed by the politicized rush to present drug like leucovorin as solutions, bypassing the slow careful work research demands.
