'RFK Jr. concedes administration lacks scientific evidence on Tylenol claims'
(MSNBC) "As the summer neared its end, Donald Trump did his best to hype a scheduled White House event on autism. The president assured the public that he was poised to deliver an announcement that was 'very, very big.' A day later, he added that the information he was ready to share was 'so big.' "

Making matters worse, the Republican conceded his conclusions were rooted in his 'feelings' — as opposed to those who base their findings on, you know, 'studies.' "

Kennedy Jr.:"
"Donald Trump’s top health official on Wednesday said evidence does not show that Kenvue’s pain medicine Tylenol definitively causes autism but that it should still be used cautiously, a month after the president said U.S. health officials would recommend limiting its use. ‘The causative association ... between Tylenol given in pregnancy and the perinatal periods is not sufficient to say it definitely cause autism. But it is very suggestive,’ Kennedy told reporters, citing animal, blood and observational studies."
