Not comprehensive or complete, just my starting points.

1. RFK Jr.’s Tylenol-Autism Claims Lack Scientific Support

Supporting Sources (Claims are not substantiated):

* Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (2025): “The research so far—including one of the largest studies yet on the topic—suggests that Tylenol use during pregnancy does not cause autism.”https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2025/the-evidence-on-tylenol-and-autism

* JAMA Study (2024): The largest sibling-controlled study to date found that while population-based models showed small associations between prenatal acetaminophen use and autism (HR 1.05), when controlling for familial factors using sibling comparisons, acetaminophen showed no association with autism risk (HR 0.98). This suggests confounding factors, not causation.https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2817406

* Autism Science Foundation (2025): “Any association between acetaminophen and autism is based on limited, conflicting, and inconsistent science and is premature given the current science. Autism doesn’t have a single cause. It is the result of a complex mix of genetics and environment.”https://autismsciencefoundation.org/press_releases/statement-from-autism-science-foundation-regarding-wall-street-journal-report-rfk-jr-hhs-to-link-autism-to-tylenol-use-in-pregnancy-and-folate-deficiencies/

* PBS/PolitiFact Fact-Check (2025): Medical experts state Kennedy’s portrayal of autism and causation claims are skewed. “A 2023 study written by CDC officials and university researchers found that one-quarter of people on the autism spectrum have severe limitations. But this is on the high end of studies.”https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/fact-checking-robert-f-kennedy-
