"Two senior administration officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity shared the brief with Politico and added that the White House would highlight leucovorin, used in cancer and anemia treatments, as a potential therapy for people with autism. Trump teased Friday that his administration maybe has a reason why autism is totally out of control after having tasked Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to spearhead research into its causes."
"Tylenol's parent company, Kenvue, has already hit back, insisting: There is no credible evidence linking acetaminophen to autism. Earlier this month, Kenvue CEO Kirk Perry urged Kennedy not to list Tylenol as a cause of autism, arguing there is no correlation between the two, the Wall Street Journal reported. Major medical organizations continue to advise that acetaminophen is safe when used prudently during pregnancy."
White House officials plan to announce that using Tylenol (acetaminophen) during pregnancy may contribute to increased autism cases. The briefing will also highlight leucovorin, a drug used in cancer and anemia treatments, as a potential therapy for people with autism. President Trump suggested the administration may have a reason for rising autism rates after assigning Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead research into causes. Kennedy agreed to work with NIH director Jay Bhattacharya and FDA commissioner Marty Makary. Medical officials are divided on the acetaminophen claim. Kenvue, Tylenol’s parent company, says no credible evidence links acetaminophen to autism.
