Robert F. Kennedy Jr., head of Health and Human Services, says Tylenol should be used with caution during pregnancy, but solid data linking it to autism is lacking.
-Last month, Trump said U.S. officials would suggest limiting the use of Tylenol during pregnancy, though doctors say it is safe to use.
-The state of Texas sued Tylenol maker Kenvue on Oct. 28, accusing it of hiding data about health risks.
-RFK Jr. said there isn’t enough data to confirm a link between Tylenol and autism, but the painkiller should still be avoided during pregnancy, if possible.
WASHINGTON - Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Oct. 29 that he does not have “sufficient” evidence to link Tylenol to autism, more than a month after the White House discouraged the medicine’s use by pregnant women and young children.
Evidence does not show that Kenvue’s pain medicine Tylenol definitively causes autism but that it should still be used cautiously, President Donald Trump’s top health official told reporters. Last month the president said U.S. health officials would recommend limiting Tylenol’s use.
“The causative association with, between Tylenol given in pregnancy and the perinatal periods is not sufficient to say it definitely causes autism. But it is very suggestive,” Kennedy told reporters, citing animal, blood and observational studies.
There’s not enough evidence? Then why did you call a fucking press conference about it? Imagine you’re a doctor or scientist and you have to work with the world’s biggest moron as the leader of your organization…
Because now they want the stock to go up.

Sounds like somebody was threatened with a lawsuit
I feel like this statement just makes a lawsuit even worse for him because now he is admitting there is no real evidence and he was just saying what he thought before.
Tylenol: 1
RFK Jr.: 0
I can’t believe this comment didn’t get rated higher. Of course it’s because of a lawsuit.
Idle threats won’t change things. Better follow through.
Ya, no shit moron.
He submitted multiple peer reviewed statements as evidence including “This is just common sense”, “Look at the way it is”, and “Trust me bro”
Which peers?
Your mom.
Do you ever want to pipe up in a group conversation with something you think might solve the topic of discussion, or has an interesting insight, then someone says something before you can barge in that essentially blows your point out the water and you’re so glad you kept your mouth shut for a minute longer?
This people seem to lack that shame.To RFK Jr. -
No fucking shit Sherlock!

Imagine working some shitstain retail, food service, or factory job and the absolute dumbest, most racist co-worker gets put in charge.
That is our federal government right now.
i made a joke about the tylenol-autism thing to my wife when this first started getting some press, “i guess J&J didnt bribe trump with enough money…”
i see now that it wasn’t a joke, just too soon to say it for realsies.
My Balls feel like there’s not significant proof that JFK didn’t try to swallow them.
LOL, yeah, Bobby Brainworm, every normal American knew this already and was pointing and laughing at you.
So RFK is also a TACO? 😅
RACO
But it can only good do
Nothing bad can happen. It can only good happen!
That “Kennedy Curse” is sure taking its sweet ass time with RFK Jr.
“There is not sufficient proof but we’re going to say it anyways because I need some more of that stock market money for my 18th house.”
