Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is back in the headlines \u2013 and not for the reasons he might hope.During a recent meeting with Donald Trump and Cabinet members, Kennedy reignited one of his most infamous claims: that the common painkiller Tylenol could be linked to autism.Despite admitting there\u2019s no medical proof, he doubled down on his long-running theory \u2014 and even introduced a few bizarre new ones along the way.You might recall that just a few weeks ago, Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. teased what sounded like a major revelation \u2014 claiming that pregnant women taking common painkillers could somehow cause autism in their babies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But according to scientists, that\u2019s simply not true.Experts from across the medical community quickly shut down the theory, saying there\u2019s \u201cno evidence of any link\u201d between painkillers like Tylenol and autism \u2014 which, in plain terms, means the claim doesn\u2019t hold up.Tylenol\u2019s manufacturer also fired back, saying it \u201cstrongly disagrees\u201d with the allegations. Meanwhile, the National Autistic Society blasted Trump and Kennedy\u2019s comments as \u201cdangerous, anti-science, and deeply irresponsible.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
