Did he jump the gun? Kennedy rethinking Tylenol.
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.
Maybe he spoke too soon or listened to his heart instead of his head. Sure there are some studies that show a connection, but not enough. I know years back the makers of Tylenol gave pregnant women warnings but never gave specific warnings about what the dangers were.
No Virginia, they didn’t ban Tylenol.
A panic call went out yesterday. Progressives, MSM, and some medical folks were claiming that Tylenol was being banned. Of course that was fake news.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. did not say Tylenol will be banned.
What he did say—alongside President Trump and NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya—is that the administration is investigating a possible link between prenatal acetaminophen use and autism, based on a recent review of existing studies. RFK Jr. warned pregnant women to avoid Tylenol “until we know more,” but there was no formal announcement of a ban.
What Was Actually Announced
The administration is preparing to release a report on autism and environmental exposures.
RFK Jr. and Trump emphasized the need for more research into acetaminophen’s safety during pregnancy.
