Robert F. Kennedy Jr. controversially claimed that circumcised children have double the rate of autism due to Tylenol use, a statement made during a Trump cabinet meeting. Kennedy also accused pregnant women of taking the pain relief drug out of spite for the president. These comments follow a press conference where Trump and Kennedy suggested a link between Tylenol and autism, despite large-scale studies and medical groups finding no such link. Critics have dismissed these claims as unscientific and dangerous.
