Kennedy Reups Unproven Tylenol-Autism Link During Cabinet Meeting as Trump Repeats 'Don't Take It'
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Donald Trump promote an unproven claim linking Tylenol use during pregnancy or infancy to autism while the FDA considers updating drug labels.
- On Thursday, US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. acknowledged the studies he cited are not proof and said officials are working to retroactively establish evidence for a Tylenol-autism link.
- Pushing the theory, the administration amplified select studies linking Tylenol to autism as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and President Donald Trump promoted the unproven link while the FDA considers label changes.
- The Denmark study proponents cite examined correlation and omitted painkiller data; Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed infant boys who are circumcised have double autism rates linked to Tylenol use.
- Experts caution that no causal link between acetaminophen and autism has been proven and warn discouraging its use can harm fetal development, as advised by medical organizations.
- Amid criticism, parents and scientists warned the rhetoric rekindles harmful mom-blaming, as Voula Athanasopoulos said, `The what-ifs and the self-blame and everything like that, it's got to stop because you need to move on and you need to live day by day`.
