The Trump administration dropped what could be one of the most controversial public health announcements in recent history: a potential link between Tylenol and autism.
Yes, Tylenol. The over-the-counter painkiller sitting in every American medicine cabinet for the past 60 years. The stuff your doctor probably told you was “perfectly safe” to take during pregnancy.
The Trump administration led by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. issued a major advisory: Pregnant women should avoid Tylenol unless they’ve got a high fever. Why? Because there may be a connection to rising autism rates in children.
Now before the Twitter “experts” start frothing at the mouth, let’s get something straight. This isn’t coming from some fringe blogger in their basement. This is coming from the top of HHS, under the watch of a president who has never been afraid to take on Big Pharma…President Trump.
Trump even dropped a teaser at Charlie Kirk’s funeral, saying, “I think we found an answer to autism,” and promising “one of the most important news conferences” of his life. And knowing Trump, he doesn’t say things like that unless he means it…or unless CNN is about to have a total meltdown.
The facts are troubling. Autism rates have exploded from 1 in 150 children in 2000 to 1 in 31 today. That’s not a blip. That’s a public health crisis. And yet for decades, the medical establishment has acted like it’s just a big mystery. Environmental factors? Nah. Pharmaceuticals? Don’t be silly. Must be “better diagnosis.”
But now, a study out of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is drawing attention to prenatal exposure to acetaminophen—Tylenol’s active ingredient. While it stops short of a direct correlation, it raises some serious red flags. And RFK Jr. is picking up the torch and doing what he said he’d do: follow the science, not the money.
And here’s the kicker: HHS officials are also reportedly looking at leucovorin, a cancer drug, as a possible treatment for autism. That’s a bold move—and the kind of out-of-the-box thinking we’ve been needing for a long time.
If the Trump administration pulls this off, it won’t just be a scientific breakthrough. It’ll be a political bombshell. The left spent years mocking President Trump for even daring to talk about autism causes. Turns out, he might’ve been right all along.
