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.
You mean one of the literal safest OTC drugs is safe?
No shit…
Tylenol is far from safe. Leading cause of liver failure.
Huh, more than alcohol? Well I know newer generations drink less but still surprised.
12G of acetaminophen can give you terminal liver failure. That’s one extra strength tylenol per hour for 24 hours. It takes repeated long term alcohol abuse to do that kind of damage.
Safer than cars, and we still haven’t banned cars yet.
Don’t you know? Apparently cars cause autism now…
I would actually believe that one.
Fine…
Safest when used as directed.
So RFK is also a TACO? 😅
RACO
WACO.
WACKO
Does that make trump Yacko and vance Dot?
No, he’s RFKAERK - RFK Always Eats Road Kill.
I recognize Scott Bakula, but what is that from?
Ah, okay. That’s mostly what I know him for - that and that Clive Barker movie (Lord of Illusions) - I’m assuming when he looks in the mirror he is seeing the person he jumped into?
Yeah. Here’s the original clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kav7tifmyTg
LOL, that is…chef’s kiss.
amazing.
Thanks I spent a lot of time in kdenlive
Weird, when I talk out of my ass it just sounds like a rumble. How do you make it sound like “Tylenol causes autism”?
I think you need to fart through your brain worm like it’s a flute.
Need this comment stitched onto a pillow for my beanbag
This is the worst possible new Stargate TV series
Ooh, somebody has realised the pharmaceutical corp has better lawyers than he does.
And a better grasp on facts
Welcome to the GOP!
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.LOL, yeah, Bobby Brainworm, every normal American knew this already and was pointing and laughing at you.
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”
“They don’t think it be like it is, but it do”
Which peers?
Your mom.

Sagan agreed
Like blaming milk because a pregnant mother drank some while pregnant.
TBF the devil also causes people to seize, as in stealing. Pretty sure that’s a sin
Sounds like somebody was threatened with a lawsuit
Idle threats won’t change things. Better follow through.
I can’t believe this comment didn’t get rated higher. Of course it’s because of 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
There’s no proof; framing it like that leaves an unfounded connection between autism and Tylenol on the table to be picked up by anti-vaxxers.
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…
Uh, has everybody forgotten that Texas is suing J&J for selling Tylenol, because they should have known it caused autism, based on Trump’s and PeeWee Mengele’s statements?
No they haven’t forgotten, it’s literally on the text quoted in the OP.
Because now they want the stock to go up.
“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.”
That “Kennedy Curse” is sure taking its sweet ass time with RFK Jr.
Pretty sure Grandpa Nurgle is keeping him alive. No other explanation ill accept.
