How Trump and RFK’s autism claims are hitting UK pharma stocks

Trump has been making waves this week with highly controversial claims that pregnant women who take tylenol – which we in the UK know as paracetamol – are putting their children at greater risk of developing autism. The comments have caused deep worry among the medical community, and pharma stocks in the UK are feeling the impact. Astrazeneca – the most valuable company on the FTSE 100 – has lost 2.1 per cent of its value, wiping out £3.9bn. Elsewhere on London’s flagship index, GlaxoSmithKline also took a 1.1 per cent hit. #trump #tylenol #rfk #pharma #usa #usnews #politics #news #economy #stocks #financialnews
