"On Monday, the Trump administration will hold a press conference in which officials will publicly link the use of Tylenol during pregnancy to autism, a declaration that many medical experts say isn't supported by scientific evidence and studies. President Donald Trump previewed the planned announcement with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. over the weekend, telling the crowd at Charlie Kirk's memorial service, "I think we found an answer to autism.""
"In the past, Kennedy has sought to draw links between vaccines and autism, prompting concerns that he would make such a determination in his role as HHS secretary. In April, he called autism "preventable" and vowed to "identify the exposures that are causing this epidemic." Initial reports suggest the federal government will advise against use of the drug while Kenvue, the company that owns Tylenol, has stated that there is no link between acetaminophen and autism."
Federal officials will hold a press conference asserting a link between acetaminophen (Tylenol) use during pregnancy and autism. Many medical experts contend the claimed association lacks support from scientific evidence and studies. President Donald Trump previewed the planned announcement alongside Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who has previously promoted links between vaccines and autism and described autism as "preventable." Initial reports indicate the government may advise against prenatal use of the drug. Kenvue, the company that owns Tylenol, has stated that there is no link between acetaminophen and autism.
