Thune says he would not take advice from RFK Jr. ‘if I were a woman’
John Thune urged women to trust medical professionals over unproven claims linking Tylenol to autism, countering warnings from Health Secretary RFK Jr. and former President Trump.
- On Thursday, Senate Majority Leader John Thune pushed back on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Tylenol warnings, saying women should consult their doctors instead of following Kennedy's advice.
- The administration's warning last month prompted pushback from medical experts who said there is no evidence linking Tylenol to autism and called the guidance irresponsible, the American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists said.

- Given Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s record of misleading vaccine claims and only Mitch McConnell, former Senate Majority Leader , opposing his nomination, the dispute highlights broader Republican Party dynamics.
