Kennedy Jr. is back in the headlines\u2014and not for reasons he might welcome. In a recent meeting with Donald Trump and Cabinet members, he revived one of his most controversial claims: that the common painkiller Tylenol could be linked to autism. Though he acknowledged there\u2019s no medical proof, he doubled down on the theory and floated a few new twists.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"382\" data-end=\"1030\">Just weeks ago, Trump and Kennedy hinted at a supposed breakthrough, suggesting pregnant women who take common painkillers might increase autism risk in their babies. Scientists swiftly refuted the idea, stressing there\u2019s no evidence of any causal link between acetaminophen and autism. Tylenol\u2019s manufacturer publicly disagreed with the allegations, and the National Autistic Society condemned the comments as dangerous and anti-science. Critics say the push to pin autism on everyday medications is misguided and potentially harmful\u2014among them former president Barack Obama, who warned the administration\u2019s direction could threaten public health.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"382\" data-end=\"1030\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-39867 lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/dailypositive24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/RFk-1024x537.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 790px) 100vw, 790px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailypositive24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/RFk-1024x537.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dailypositive24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/RFk-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dailypositive24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/RFk-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dailypositive24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/RFk.jpg 1201w\" alt=\"\" width=\"790\" height=\"414\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-5\"><\/div>\n<p data-start=\"1032\" data-end=\"1790\">At the Cabinet meeting, Kennedy pressed on. \u201cAnybody who takes the stuff during pregnancy unless they have to is irresponsible,\u201d he told Trump, adding, \u201cIt is not proof. We\u2019re doing the studies to make the proof.\u201d He also drew ridicule with a basic anatomy flub, claiming a woman on TikTok was \u201cgobbling Tylenol with a baby in her placenta\u201d\u2014babies develop in the uterus, not the placenta\u2014and attributed her behavior to \u201cTrump derangement syndrome.\u201d He then resurfaced an older, debunked notion that infant circumcision doubles autism rates because babies receive Tylenol afterward, a misreading of a 2015 Danish study that reported a correlation\u2014not causation\u2014and had no data on painkiller use. Researchers themselves warned against drawing such conclusions.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"lazyloaded\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=newsner&amp;dnt=true&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1976341888203669709&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fen.newsner.com%2Fnews%2Frfk-jr-claims-circumcised-boys-are-more-likely-to-be-autistic%2F&amp;sessionId=ba2938d60b435db677b665cf8e81cd539f6f944f&amp;siteScreenName=newsner&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1976341888203669709\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-rocket-lazyload=\"fitvidscompatible\" data-origwidth=\"\" data-origheight=\"\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p data-start=\"1792\" data-end=\"2187\">Kennedy\u2019s insistence on linking routine health practices to autism has reignited fierce criticism, with many experts worried that statements from a sitting health secretary can lend unwarranted credibility to unproven claims and undermine evidence-based medicine.
