At the Cabinet meeting on Thursday (October 9), the Minister of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He repeated the claims connecting the use of acetaminophenes, which are widely known to his brand Tylenol, with autism in children. Specifically, he proposed a connection between circumcision relief and an increased risk of autism.
“There are two studies that show that children who are circumcised soon have a double degree of autism,” Kennedy said. “It’s very likely because it gives them Tylenol.”
“So, you know, none of this … it’s not positive, but it’s all things we should pay attention to.”
Trump promotes an investigation into potential causes
During the clock meeting of the cabinet, President Donald Trump responded to the commentary of Kennedy and emphasized the importance of investigating all possible contributors to autism.
“The US should pay attention to all potential causes of autism,” Trump said, repeating the ongoing fears of administration from a growing degree of autism in the country.
Administrative demands on acetaminophen
These notes follow the press briefing last month, when the administration proposed a link between the use of acetaminophene during pregnancy and autism. Trump said at the time, “We take if Tylenol is not good. I will say it. It is not good. Women should avoid acetaminophene throughout the whole pregnancy. It’s very dangerous to the woman’s health.”
Trump added that food and drug administration (FDA) would begin to tell doctors that acetaminophene “may be associated” with an increased risk of autism, even if no medical evidence has been provided to support the claim.
