KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 25 — The Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOH) has dismissed claims linking paracetamol use during pregnancy and childhood vaccines to autism, while also warning against unproven treatments such as folinic acid.
In a statement, the ministry stressed that current scientific evidence does not support these claims.
“Vaccines do not cause autism.
“Strong evidence from high-quality studies in multiple countries has repeatedly shown no link between vaccines and autism,” said Health director-general Datuk Dr Mahathar Abd Wahab today.
The statement also addressed concerns over paracetamol, widely used to relieve pain and fever, including among pregnant women.
“Based on current medical practice and the latest clinical guidelines, paracetamol is still considered among the safest options when taken at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible duration,” Dr Mahathar added.
MOH also cautioned against claims that folinic acid, also known as leucovorin, can treat autism.
“Scientific evidence is still limited to small studies in certain groups.
“Large-scale clinical trials are still required before this medication can be considered a safe and effective treatment for autism,” Dr Mahathar said.
The ministry urged the public not to be swayed by statements unsupported by robust scientific evidence.
“Pregnant women experiencing fever or pain may still use paracetamol when necessary, following advice from a doctor or pharmacist,” Dr Mahathar added.
MOH reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring the safety and efficacy of all medications in Malaysia, and maintaining a rigorous vaccine safety monitoring system in line with current scientific evidence.

🚨 BREAKING: The White House is planning for "MASS LAYOFFS" if the government does indeed shut down, using the opportunity of a funding lapse to remove more federal employees.
LMFAO!
Chuck Schumer is losing BIG right now!
- Shut the government down, Trump fires bureaucrats
- Keep the government open, cave to Trump
"The memo from the White House Office of Management and Budget directs agencies to consider firing employees working on any program that is not funded by another law, such as Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill Act enacted in July, and which does not align with the president’s priorities. Once government funding is reinstated after a shutdown, agencies should revise their plans to keep only the smallest number of employees necessary to legally operate, the memo says," WaPo reports
This is what plan and adapt looks like!

Remember, they were all sitting around the oval office, and the cameras were in there, and trump said hey chuck ol boy, blame me. Isn't it great to see how now we can watch ol chucky boy eat total dog crap on this one 🤣🤣
