RFK Jr claims circumcised boys are more likely to be autistic – here’s why
During a recent meeting with Donald Trump and Cabinet members, Kennedy reignited one of his most infamous claims: that the common painkiller Tylenol could be linked to autism.
Despite admitting there’s no medical proof, he doubled down on his long-running theory — and even introduced a few bizarre new ones along the way.
Fired back
You might recall that just a few weeks ago, Donald Trump and Robert teased what sounded like a major revelation — claiming that pregnant women taking common painkillers could somehow cause autism in their babies
But according to scientists, that’s simply not true.
Experts from across the medical community quickly shut down the theory, saying there’s “no evidence of any link” between painkillers like Tylenol and autism — which, in plain terms, means the claim doesn’t hold up.

Tylenol’s manufacturer also fired back, saying it “strongly disagrees” with the allegations. Meanwhile, the National Autistic Society blasted Trump and Kennedy’s comments as “dangerous, anti-science, and deeply irresponsible.”
