During a cabinet meeting, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed that circumcised children have double the rate of autism, potentially due to Tylenol use. This statement echoed a controversial press conference where the administration suggested a link between Tylenol and autism, despite scientific studies finding no causal relationship. Kennedy also made inflammatory remarks about pregnant women. The remarks were made despite medical groups stating acetaminophen is safe during pregnancy.

According to recent claims, two studies suggest that early circumcision in children correlates with a doubled rate of autism, potentially linked to the use of Tylenol. The research cited, including a 2015 study on Danish children, has faced criticism for its observational nature and failure to consider various confounding variables, such as cultural or social factors. Experts caution against drawing definitive conclusions from this research. Importantly, the studies did not directly investigate the use of acetaminophen.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made inaccurate statements during a cabinet meeting regarding a video of a pregnant woman, claiming she consumed Tylenol in her placenta while saying “F Trump.” However, the woman was actually in her uterus and did not say this. Kennedy used this anecdote to criticize the mother for allegedly having “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” while also making an unsubstantiated claim that circumcision leads to autism due to Tylenol use, though later admitting there’s no proof. Despite the lack of scientific evidence, the administration discouraged Tylenol use during pregnancy as a result.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suggested a potential link between circumcision, Tylenol use, and autism during a recent cabinet meeting. Citing studies, Kennedy claimed that circumcised infants given Tylenol may have a higher autism rate, although he did not specify the research. One study indicated a correlation between circumcision and increased autism risk, while another found improvements in autistic boys post-circumcision. The remarks followed President Trump’s controversial statements about Tylenol use during pregnancy, sparking further debate within the medical community.

During an interview in London, Barack Obama criticized Donald Trump’s claims linking paracetamol to autism, calling them a threat to public health as they have been continuously disproven. Obama argued that such statements, particularly concerning pregnant women, constitute “violence against the truth.” He also discussed the broader political landscape, highlighting a conflict between progressive and populist visions for the future, and criticized complacent progressives. This comes as Obama increases his public interventions amid growing political divisions in the US.

The researcher behind the study suggesting a link between Tylenol use during pregnancy and neurological disorders was previously paid at least $150,000 to testify for plaintiffs suing Tylenol’s manufacturer. This testimony was ultimately dismissed by a federal judge who found the researcher “cherry-picked and misrepresented study results.” While the researcher, now a dean at Harvard, acknowledges a possible association, he also emphasizes the need for further research and a cautious approach to acetaminophen use during pregnancy, despite having previously made stronger claims in the lawsuit. The ongoing debate highlights concerns about the interpretation of the research and potential conflicts of interest.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has refuted claims made by the Trump administration regarding acetaminophen use during pregnancy and its link to autism, stating that no scientific consensus supports the alleged connection. WHO maintains that extensive research, including large-scale studies, has found no consistent association and advises women to consult with their doctors regarding medication use during pregnancy. Furthermore, the organization reaffirmed its position on vaccines, emphasizing that numerous high-quality studies confirm vaccines do not cause autism, and that global immunization efforts have saved millions of lives. The WHO’s statements follow concerns raised by the Trump administration and are aligned with other medical experts who have deemed the claims baseless.
