Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed Thursday there may be a link between circumcision — due to the use of Tylenol following the procedure — and autism. “There’s two studies which show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism,” Kennedy said during a meeting of Trump’s cabinet members. “It’s highly likely because they were given Tylenol.”

The pharmaceutical company behind Tylenol privately acknowledged the likelihood of an association between its drug in pregnancy and neurodevelopmental disorders like autism in children seven years ago, company documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation show.“The weight of the evidence is starting to feel heavy to me,” said Rachel Weinstein, U.S. director of epidemiology for Janssen, the pharmaceutical arm of Johnson & Johnson, in 2018. Johnson & Johnson marketed Tylenol at the time but in 2023 spun off its consumer products division into a separate company called Kenvue.Legacy media headlines and vocal public health experts have dismissed the conclusion...

On Monday, President Donald Trump issued an advisory for pregnant women to refrain from taking Tylenol or at the very least cut back on their intake of it as a precaution due to a possible link between acetaminophen (Tylenol) and autism.The reaction to this announcement by the Associated Press that same day displayed an obvious animus that Science was dying. This fury was reflected in the headline of the AP story by Ali Swenson and Lauran Neergaard: "Trump makes unfounded claims about Tylenol and repeats discredited link between vaccines and autism."

President Trump and top health officials Monday said pregnant women should not take acetaminophen for pain relief due to a potential link to autism. Acetaminophen is the active ingredient in Tylenol, one of the most widely used medications in the world. “Taking Tylenol is not good,” Trump said during a White House announcement. Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will begin updating the label on acetaminophen and will begin notifying physicians that Tylenol “can be associated with a very increased risk of autism.” “All pregnant women should talk...

President Trump on Friday expressed support for mandatory vaccines for school-aged children, amid Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr.’s push to end unnecessary vaccination.

Per the Hill, “the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stopped recommending the COVID-19 vaccine for those under 18.

In an unhinged statement, former Congressman Joe Kennedy III attacked his cousin and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F.

In fiery Senate testimony this week, US Health Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr once again set his sights on the nation's top public health agency, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). His appearance came days after he suddenly fired the new CDC director, Susan Monarez, provoking a group of senior staff to resign in protest. At the hearing, when asked for an explanation, Kennedy claimed he had asked Ms Monarez if she was a "trustworthy person" and she had replied "no", to some disbelief from his opponents in the room. He then admitted he had once described the CDC...

See video. Sen. John Kennedy who states: "We need to restore confidence and so far I don't see where Secretary Kennedy has done that. All I see over there is at the moment is a multiple vehicle pileup.” See comments. Sen. Kennedy just took a swim in the swamp sewer. Why would he do this to himself?

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) read emails to HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during a Thursday hearing from several people who say they’ve been left in the lurch, denied vaccines after recent CDC decisions to change recommendations. “I would say, effectively, we’re denying people vaccines,” Cassidy said after reading the messages from conservative radio host Erick Erickson and a friend of the Louisiana Republican, who is a doctor.

Nine former CDC directors accuse RFK Jr. of undermining public health. They allege Kennedy disregarded proven treatments, focused on unconventional ones and hampered vaccination support. Two Republican senators sharply disagreed over the recommendation towards a hepatitis B vaccine for newborns.

Kennedy Jr., nine former directors of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention accuse him of putting America’s health at risk.

It turns out Ms. Monarez really wanted to keep pushing the dangerous COVID vaccine, and that’s what got her tossed. CDC Director Susan Monarez has been OUSTED by RFK Jr. after she attempted to push for the COVID vaccine, per multiple reportsMultiple other top CDC officials are out as well, as they too complained about rescinding approvals for the vaccineGood riddance!

The White House said late Wednesday that it had fired Susan Monarez, the new director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, after a tense confrontation in which Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tried to remove her from her position. A lawyer for Dr. Monarez said in response that she was refusing to step down.

Four other high-profile C.D.C. officials quit en masse, apparently in frustration over...

Former President Mike Pence is urging Senate Republicans to block Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination as the Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary. President-elect Donald Trump, Pence's former running mate, announced Kennedy's nomination on Thursday, a decision that has raised concerns from public health experts. Kennedy, a former 2024 presidential candidate who went on to back Trump's campaign, has been incredibly critical of vaccinations, including suggesting that childhood vaccines are linked to autism diagnosis. Pence, however, took a different issue with Kennedy's appointment, saying in a statement Friday that making Kennedy the HHS secretary would be "an abrupt departure from...
