MAHA Breakup? RFK Jr contradicts Donald Trump, says data shows Tylenol does not cause autism

For a man who’s built a career questioning every pillar of modern medicine, it was almost biblical to see Robert F. Kennedy Jr. walk up to a podium and defend Tylenol. The US Health Secretary — and high priest of the “Make America Healthy Again” movement — told reporters this week that data does not show acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol, definitively causes autism . “The association is suggestive,” he said, “but not sufficient.” To anyone else, that’s science being cautious. Coming from Kennedy — the man who turned vaccine scepticism into a religion — it was closer to apostasy. Especially since his boss, President Donald Trump , had already gone full televangelist a month earlier, declaring that pregnant women should avoid Tylenol altogether because it “causes autism.”
